I personally can't think of anything I would love more than quiet and seclusion in a beautiful place and lots of time to myself but also time to spend with my partner. Throw in a horse and lots of books and I'd be happy as a clam.
No kidding, right? I'm not seeing how someone would have to be bullied into living that life for awhile. Especially someone in Kate's situation, with a time fast approaching where every aspect of her life is going to be scheduled, observed and judged.
If someone said to me... take the next two, three, four years and live in a nice little house in Wales with your new husband. You're both set financially so don't worry about money. You need to learn about your new position but you have access to a bunch of advisors waiting to help you in any way they can. You'll need to come back to London every so often for business, but you CAN come back as often as you want to shop, visit friends, see a show, whatever. Obviously your family and friends can come visit you whenever they want. Spend time as a couple. Get a cute little dog.... I'd be all over that offer. It's not something I'd want forever, but for a few years? Sounds great.
