The running of the Duchy will be a significant part of William's life. I sincerely hope he will discuss it with his wife, and that she will be interested in it in more than a superficial way and want to give her input to their discussions. I could be wrong, of course, and her interest might only be of the 'That's nice, dear' sort.
You bring up a real good point here. From what I've seen with the planning of the wedding, the trees in the Abbey and the considerable thought she put into her bridal bouquet, Kate has more than just a passing interest in flora and fauna and if I remember correctly, she spent time talking with Charles about aspects of their wedding day. It wouldn't surprise me to find out she's very much interested in organic farming, land conservation and what is needed. I think this just may be one reason that Charles thinks so highly of her.
Charles is another thing we have to remember as far as William's training in Duchy and Estate management. This is going to be an aspect that Charles will be more than happy to give input into as well as William's grandfather Philip who also has enjoyed his time managing the estates. Wills is not going into this alone by any means and will have a wonderful support system.
