Prince William married Kate Middleton without signing a prenup for a reason, per source
Prince William reportedly married Kate Middleton without a prenuptial agreement. A source told RadarOnline that he did not want their marriage to become “a financial negotiation.” According to the insider, William wanted to approach marriage differently after witnessing the difficulties surrounding his parents’ relationship.
“The idea of sitting down with lawyers to establish what would happen if they separated would have been completely at odds with the commitment he wanted to make,” the insider said. The source also described the “bitterness” surrounding his parents’ separation and its “devastating” effect on their family, suggesting those experiences shaped William’s approach to marriage.
According to them, William and Middleton knew each other for a long time. So he was aware of his now-wife’s potential to handle the pressure that comes with her position. The Prince of Wales reportedly didn’t want a marriage that became more about royal responsibilities than his family. Moreover, his own experience as the child of divorced parents seemingly gave him a different perspective.
“He wanted a wife and a genuine partner, not somebody whose place in his life was defined by a financial contract,” the source added. Furthermore, William wanted his kids to grow up in a stable home. “His marriage to Catherine was intended to be the foundation of that stability, rather than another chapter in the monarchy’s history of painful separations.”
