I would be surprised if they did not. Already in early mediaeval times long and difficult negotiations were necessary for any royal marriage. In 2001/2002 there was an exhibition in Amsterdam called 'Ja, ik wil!' ('Yes, I do!'). Besides countless of wedding gifts, bridal gowns, carriages, jewels, it also showed some of the prenuptial acts.

In there the whole history of marriages in the Orange-Nassau family, also with British Princesses like Mary I Stuart The Princess Royal, Mary II Stuart Princess of York and Anne of Hannover The Princess Royal were documented. Their prenuptial argeements are artworks on perchment, bound in vellum and with expensive golden and silver covers. See a picture here. It are exhausting prenuptials, varying from the annual apanage to new Princess or the amount of gunshots Dutch naval ships had to fire to honour the new Princess, varying from the number of British ladies-in-waiting to the right to worship the anglican Faith.

It would surprise me very, very much that there were no negotiations with the Earl Spencer, Prince Andreas of Greece and Denmark or the Earl of Strathmore & Kinghorne, to name a few in-law families.

From knowledge about marriages in my own royal family: all of their weddings are on specific conditions vested in prenuptial acts. It is known that lawyer's teams from both the Orange-Nassaus and the Zorreguieta's have had negotiations. It would surprise me if the mighty and rich British royal family would not do so.
