While I think that William cares deeply for Kate, I think that the interview above shows that he has ‘commitment issues’. The fact that they broke up three times doesn’t really look good. I think that William is reluctant to get married for two reasons: First, he knows that once he gets married that he will be a full-time royal and if nothing else, William has proven time and time again that he hates the thought of being an active member of the royal family – why else would he have continued his army training past his 2007-2008 stint at the three different sections of the armed forces? Because, let’s face it, if he gets married, he and Kate won’t be able to live on some army base and be a normal military husband and wife. They are the rockstars to this family and will be pimped out to the media for full effect. Second, I think that he likes the arrangement that he has. He can spend all week playing soldier with his army friends and have little trips with his girlfriend on the weekend. He seems content with this arrangement because he is not obligated to anyone. Furthermore, William doesn’t want to overshadow his father, and once he gets married he will. I know everyone thinks that they are getting, married next summer, but honestly, unless she gets pregnant, I don’t see it happening.

While it’s possible that William has “commitment issues”, it is a generalization from royal writers and not a statement from a source that can be considered remotely reliable. It’s true – I do believe William is reluctant to be a working royal. Who wouldn’t be? I do believe he enjoys his life now and would want to postpone anything that’ll catapult him into the spotlight. On the other hand, I think he & Kate can still marry next year or in 2012. And I don’t think in a million years that Kate would get pregnant before marriage. This relationship is very calculated. If it ever happened (though highly doubtful), the public would never know.

But since William is so reluctant in the spotlight why do you think that they would get married within the next year or two? I honestly think he will be in his mid 30s before he walks down the aisle. Whether Kate will be there and wait remains to be seen.
