Prince William was still young when Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s marriage fell apart, but he was old enough to understand how painful such a tumultuous marriage could be for both parties and their children. That’s why when she married Kate Middleton, he and his wife made sure that they wouldn’t end up like the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Throughout their relationship, Prince William and Kate made significant efforts to avoid what happened to Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Here are some of them.

Prince William Opted For A Trial Separation

Back in 2004, Prince William decided to break up with Kate, not because he didn’t love her but because he wanted to think things through. That time, Prince William wanted to be sure about Kate before he commits to marrying her.

Prince William Sought Advice From Married Friends

In 2007, three years after their trial separation, Kate called it quits with Prince William allegedly because of his less-than-stellar boyfriend behavior. During their time away from each other, Prince William decided to get advice from two people who had been married for long so he would know how to deal with his broken relationship. That helped him back on the right path.

Prince William Considered Queen Elizabeth And Prince Philip’s Opinions

Once, Prince William admitted to his grandmother that he wasn’t sure if he loved Kate enough to marry her. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip advised him to stop leading Kate on if he had no intention of marrying her. By confiding with his grandparents, Prince William was able to reassess his feelings for Kate and realize how sure he was about marrying her.

Prince William And Kate Set Things Straight Before Marriage

Before their marriage, Prince William and Kate had a secret pact where they agreed to become man and wife someday and do things on their own timeline. Because of that pact, William and Kate have managed to remain unruffled by the pressures brought by the media.

Prince William And Kate Trust Each Other

Despite the rumors that have plagued their marriage since they started, Prince William and Kate have remained strong. Because of their solid foundation, their trust in each other is always bigger than the scandals that try to break them.
