To those of us whose lives will be completely unaffected and who could not care a jot whether they marry or not, please feel free to contribute here:

Meeh so what?

Still she's got to be pretty brave marrying into that lot - they don't have the greatest record do they?

[rowanwitch]

In a survey, the Daily Mail interviewed 1,000 women and asked:

Have you concealed an affair ? Result 74% of women between 20-29 said they had.

On that basis, the Royal Family haven't done too badly.

I do appreciate the limitations of this non-scientific trial, but it does support my personal experiences.

I was thinking of marriage breakdowns rather than affairs sqad

3 out of 4 of the generation immediately above him?

the UK average is that half of weddings end in failure so they're not doing too well

Anne Boleyn and 'Kate' Howard didn't fare too well after marrying into the royal family,nor did Catherine of Aragon, Jane Seymour nor Anne of Cleves. There is a moral there, somewhere.

[LoftyLottie]

Just contributing because I fit into this category.

[DTCwordfan]

yes there is a moral, warn any girl not to marry Prince Harry as his namesake was responsible for all those dames you mentioned, scylax

[Scylax]

You married into royalty, Ma'am ? Lofty indeed...

[LoftyLottie]

Of course Scylax. I hope you curtseyed or bowed before addressing me!!

[DTCwordfan]

[LoftyLottie]

"She only has to look at her intendeds mother to see what they are like"

And her intended's stepmother.

[DTCwordfan]

nicest one I have seen was in Private Eye - a photo of Kate's mother spreadeagled under a bush at Balmoral, gun in hand. Bubble; "It will be a shotgun wedding"

[ludwig]

We'll probably get a day off work though eh?

[Invictas]

This family don't marry for love,they marry to make babies,and then the men go back to their mistresses,or find one, if they don't have one already!

[mike11111]

Or boyfriends.
