I fail to understand why they can't work on their marriage and do royal duties. After all William will still be a rescue pilot, right? So why can't Kate at least attend a few duties a week. I am not advocating 4 or 5 a day. At least not yet I am suprised that the Queen would make such a decision given that she seems like she works so hard even at her age. I feel that this attitude expressed by William and Kate could lead to them becoming irrelevant particularly at a time when people are struggling. After all the royal family is viewed through the changing attitudes of the society around them.
There may be a number of reasons - William's schedule of course as she would like to be available to be with him as much as possible, not exposing her on her own too much too soon, not taking away from the work of the older royals (a young couple will certainly overshadow the oldies like The Queen and Charles), and simply giving them a chance to make their marriage work.
