Before Kate Middleton and King Charles III’s health issues began dominating the royal discourse, there were whispers that all was not well between William, Prince of Wales, and Catherine, Princess of Wales. While Tom Quinn was doing research for his book, “Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family,” he spoke to a palace source who claimed that the royal couple has had fiery fights. However, Quinn suggested that they deserve kudos for not flinging solid objects around that might cause some damage. “William and Kate throw cushions at each other,” he told Express. “It’s always kept under control.” According to journalist Robert Jobson, he’s also heard rumors about Will’s bad temper being unleashed during marital arguments. In a 2022 piece for the Daily Mail, Jobson recalled a palace aide telling him, “He can be a bit of a shouter when he loses it.”
According to a 2023 OK! report, Will and Kate have butted heads over Prince George’s future. A source said Kate felt anguished when Will insisted on sending him to boarding school after a lot of arguing.
Because having major surgery is so stressful, couples may experience tension in their relationship when one partner goes under the knife, according to Psychology Today. Kate already has so much to worry about as she recovers, and hopefully, she and Will haven’t felt the need to strip the cushions off their sofas since she arrived home from the hospital.
