Default Kate Middleton - what does William like about her?

I am not writing about Kate's looks but rather about her personality - what exactly do YOU think Wills saw (or still sees!) in Kate?!?

I am guessing that she is an easy-going person who is nice, talkative (not overly so!), shares similar interests to Wills, and is basicaly different from many other upper class British girls (they are kind of self absorbed!).

What is your opinion on Kate?
And, do you think Kate & Wills are a good match?!

Hopefully, she will not be for Wills, what Camilla was for Charles. But I think she is in love with Kate, as his father was for Camilla.

She seems to be an extraordinarily restrained and discreet person. Aside from that, she's from the middle class, and, as we know, the middle class has different morals than the upper class (arguably better morals). Based on this, I'd doubt Kate turns out to be a Camilla.

I think Ariel could be right, Kate could be what Cam was for Charles. I hope not though!

She seems to be a very down to earth, "normal" person. She doesn't seek attention and has her feet on the ground, and she and William shares the same interests. So that must be why they're together, they make a good match.

She is intelligent, and seems kind. She convenced him to stay in college, so she must care about his well being. Even I like how she has never spoken to the press, and has kept their relationship private and special. She understands him and his role in history.

Disregarding that last comment, it seems most members are agreed that Kate appears to be made of "the right stuff". Discretion rates highly. And I guess it shows Wills has good taste and good judgement in his choice of steady girlfriend.

I've no idea what William thinks of her personally or what even attracted him to her but she seems discreet, quite sensible in some ways and when you're the Heir to the throne those are things you have to think about.

I think Kate appears to be independent, level-headed, respectful, modern, and extremely discreet - something which William will need in a relationship, and perhaps something he sees in Kate.

We don't know, but can reasonably assume she certainly is strong-minded, independent and discreet. As a future King, it's not always easy to know what people's motives are and I'm sure William cherishes her friendship and loyalty.

He's a long way from marching down the aisle with her though. A marriage is very critical for him and he knows that.

I know William is probably not going to get married in the near future but I think his relationship with Kate is good. It shows stability and commitment. I like Kate and think that she is a very capable person and has a pretty good idea what she's getting herself into. Even though the press backed off during college, she still had two years to deal with the whole "my boyfriend is a prince and i'll probably be attacked by the press." If she didn't I hope her friends supported and reminded her of that. In my opinion, the press can be brutal but if she walks into it on her own terms, than she'll do fine. Just keep being discreet and whatever happens will happen.

I think she makes him feel safe, because she seems devoted to him, and she is keeping things really really quiet!He can trust her:)

One of the "mistakes" everyone says Charles made was not marrying Camilla when he had the chance. He waited and waited, and she couldn't wait for him forever, so she took her chance marrying Andrew PB, and Charles was miserable and so began to sad tale. So maybe Charles is pushing William to marry this girl because he's afraid William will lose his chance to marry the love of his life. No one knows if Kate is that love, but that's what makes it more scary for people who know and love William. They want to make sure he seizes the chance to marry that love. Charles could be urging William to "marry soon, don't wait like I did, or you'll mess up like me." Maybe William hangs on to her because he thinks (or Charles thinks) if he loses her, he'll regret it forever.

chelsy keeps the "things" quiet too. I think any royal girlfriend would keep the " things qiet" if they don't want an "early divorce" from the relationship. It they speak too much, they simply will be forsed out ot the royal cirkle...my speculation only
