Live in sin and pay the price (Prince William's "practice chick" was too common for royalty)

Brits are weird.

[Jake The Goose]

Many are -

Practice chick ?? So she was a mulligan, not a hole in one?

[cyborg]

I think Kate dodged a bullet.

[AnAmericanMother]

But there's some VERY good advice in here, to-wit:

It is an old-fashioned concept, but Middleton's fate is a salutary lesson for young women contemplating shacking up with the love of their lives rather than holding out for a firm commitment.

. . . or as my dad commented, "when you've caught the fish, why throw in more bait?"

Royalty likes to ‘troll’ with the ladettes before settling with a ‘Lady’.

[dfwgator]

Royalty in the 21st Century is weird in and of itself.

Kate will end of marrying so wealthy british lord and attending party’s at the palace and never miss the camera’s and intrusion Di had. Good luck Kate.

Smart girls don't give away marital perks free.

Why buy the cow . . .

[worst-case scenario]

You assume, of course, that Middleton would have wished to marry Harry.

Perhaps after she met his family, she decided against it, and moved in with him just to be sure it would never happen.

[Tax-chick]

If Middleton had really wanted to marry William she never should have set up house with him. Smart girls don't give away marital perks free.

Excellent summary.

[martin_fierro]

There, there, dear.

Come to Marty. Daddy make it all better.

[Nathan Zachary]

Brits aren’t “wierd”, they are hypocrites. Holding Prince William to standards no one practices is hypocritical.

If William was a reflection of British culture, he should be out there trying to shag as many “practice chicks” as he can before marrying the uglyest woman on the planet.
Hey, suprise! He would be a reflection of American culture too!

Pretty, though to me there's something sorta unattractive about her eyes.

[Tax-chick]

"Too much eyeshadow and not enough sleep" is my beauty diagnosis.

[HungarianGypsy]

Marrying into the same class is better? This brings up a question I had after reading my husband’s lineage. Did any Royals actually marry because they loved each other or were they all basically “business contracts”?

[Liberty Valance]

One must practice until one gets it right.

[Scotswife]

Kate is beautiful.
They would have been lucky to have such a girl in the family.

Instead he’ll wind up with a woman from the upper class but will most likely resemble Camille.

Can’t figure out how a family suffering from inbreeding can feel so entitled and superiour...oh well.

Good for Kate...she’s better off for it. Too bad she wasted all that time.
