- Does she maintain control over her spouse using this strategy?
Even die-hard admirers of the British monarchy's romantic side might acknowledge that even within the royal family, domestic tranquility isn't always guaranteed. For the prospective king duo, Prince William (42) and Princess Kate (42), it's no different than countless other households - even aristocrats can lose their cool. Particularly William is known for his intense emotions, leading to the occasional outburst, as reported by the British "Mirror", which is intrigued by Kate's reported "secret tool" to soothe her husband's tempestuous mood. In such instances, Kate allegedly transforms into "Teacher Kate".
Royal biographer Tom Quinn reveals that Kate often handles William like their fourth child. With three offspring, Prince George (11), Princess Charlotte (9), and Prince Louis (6), she has plenty of experience in handling heated tempers. This strategy, which seems to work with her kids, appears to be effective with her husband as well.
Pillow fight instead of quarrel
Quinn didn't disclose the specifics of the discipline method, suggesting the future king of England won't be sent to the "time-out corner" in Buckingham Palace. However, parents everywhere know that a blend of tender firmness and sternness is most effective. And even if these methods fail, the couple refrains from physical violence, opting for gentle missiles: "William and Kate engage in playful pillow fights. They manage to keep the antics within acceptable limits".
It was no secret that William and Kate enjoy playfully antagonizing each other. In 2010, before their wedding, Prince William admitted how his future partner captured his heart: "We're laid-back, enjoy making each other laugh, and she has numerous quirks that I tease her about."
Despite the occasional heated moments, Prince William and Kate often resort to playful pillow fights to diffuse tension, keeping their antics within bounds. Their shared sense of humor, with William teasing Kate about her quirks, has been a constant in their relationship since before their wedding in 2010.
