The handwriting is very much on the wall. I expect to see them in Westminster Abbey in a few more years.
When I mentioned William's confusion, I certainly wasn't talking about Kate but about his confusion about his life in general - his legacy as Charles and Diana's son, a single man with traits and loyalties to two separate people who at once loved each other but ended up hating each other to intensity, his immense love for the memory of his mother but his great disgust at the legacy of press intrusion that she left, his mistrust of the press, his fondness for Camilla the woman but his distaste for Camilla's role in his parent's breakup, his status as the most sought after and photographed young man of his generation, his future as the King of England, his rather long waiting around time while his grandmother and father to do their thing, his being restricted during that time from some things because of his exalted position.

Simply put, William has a lot to be confused about.

Love does not conquer all. Even Wonder Woman couldn't solve those problems much less Kate herself. And Kate appears like she has some points of confusion now too. She started by being very unfriendly to the press and not really enjoying the attention. Lately she has seemed to enjoy the attention which is not a bad thing but it is a change to her previous behavior. Is she getting comfortable with the press in a way that William is not? Is that a source of tension? Is he getting uncomfortable with her being more comfortable with the press? Is she getting annoyed that he can't just relax? Kate didn't lose her mother to a high speed chase by the police, she doesn't have William's point of reference so she can't understand it. So can she reconcile this confused and rather hurt young man with the sweet and conscious person that attracts her so much?

I don't know - like I said, I don't pretend to read William and Kate's minds but seeing their actions offer a lot of other interpretations other than the handwriting is on the wall - they're walking in Westminster Abbey in a few months to couple of years.
