Royal Author Reveals Prince William & Kate Middleton’s Surprising Nicknames for One Another, What Their Fights Are Like, & More (Report)
Royal author Tom Quinn is sharing excerpts and info about his new book, "Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family" in a new interview.Specifically, Quinn has released alleged information about the Prince and Princess of Wales (Prince William and Kate Middleton).
"They said because her mother was a stewardess, as it used to be called in those days, no one would invite the family to any events where there was anyone of significance present. The press would remark how she was descended from working-class people, which is an absolutely cruel thing to say," he wrote. "But Kate never responded. She didn’t complain. She didn’t write letters to the press or ring in the editors. She said nothing. And that was a good move. She illustrated how calm she was about those things and didn’t make a fuss. And then, it vanished."
He continued, "I think they are the first generation that you could almost say they’ve broken the mold of this very traditional royal upbringing where you basically pay other people to do all the work, and you only see your children for half an hour a day. They’ve broken the mold, but not entirely.
He added, "I think they like the idea that they’ve put out, that they want their children to have a more normal childhood because that goes down well with the public. On one hand, they want to represent this traditional continuity, this glorious world that the rest of us can look up to. But on the other hand, they want to be seen as ordinary people just like the rest of us."
On why they moved out of London...
If you don't know, in 2022, it was confirmed that Prince William, Princes Catherine, and their three children would be moving outside of London to Windsor. Now, this royal author is explaining the real reason why they decided to make the move to the suburbs of the UK cite.
"They’ve moved to Windsor, although they’ve kept their apartment at Kensington Palace. They moved to Windsor because there’s far more space for the children to play. But Eton, the prestigious school that the boys are more likely to go to, is only 10 minutes from Windsor. And that means their parents can see them more often. When poor [King] Charles was sent to school in Scotland, he didn’t see his parents for months at a time," Quinn wrote.
On their relationship dynamic...Every relationship has certain dynamics, and just because they're royals, does not mean William and Kate are any different!
The author wrote all about how they take on different roles in the relationship and is speaking out about who is more calm and who is more hotheaded.
"Kate is very much the calm one," Quinn shared. "William is the one who’s a bit hotheaded. We see an example of that in Harry’s book… But Kate is very level-headed. She’s the one who will pour oil on troubled waters and go, ‘Let’s not stir things up.’"
What the Princess reportedly said about her relationship...The author, Tom Quinn, also reportedly got a quote of something Princess Catherine once said about her relationship with Prince William. If you don't know, the royal couple first started dating when they were both in college and got engaged in 2010. They were married in 2012 in a huge wedding that was televised on all the major networks for the world to see.
Quinn even claims to know what the Princess has said to others about their union, saying, "She said, ‘Like every other couple, we have days when we are really, really cross with each other, or days when we don’t talk to each other. They want to be seen as an ordinary couple with the same stresses of having children, work and everything else that life brings."
