I agree, branchg. The Royal Family is similar to a lot of upper class families who encourage their children to socialize where they most likely will find a suitable friends and significant others. American parents do that when they push their children to go to one university vs. another. When I was in college we studied an article on the whole fraternity/sorority scene in American colleges as a way of narrowing down the type of people young students were likely to come in contact with.

I think its highly doubtful given the social circles William hangs out in that he would ever get close enough to a Catholic to make it a possibility.

Not true. Consider the family of the Duke of Norfolk... Catholics.

Andrew Parker Bowles dated Princess Anne (and according to some sources they had a passionate love affair)... Catholic.

Of course, he's going to know Catholic girls from "good" families, but William also knows the rules. He might date some, might even fall in love with one, but won't marry one.

I'm sure William knows plenty of Catholics from the aristocracy and from college, but he's not one to rock the boat. He will marry an appropriate girl when the time comes.

I must have missed something here. Why would C&C change any views?
