I suppose its different for them just as it is for us.
Diana and Charles yelled at each other and Diana even threw Charles with a couple of things.
While Sarah and Andrew, and Princess Maragret, Lord Snowdon, Anne and Mark Philips simply stopped talking and drifted away from each other.

I believe their married life has the added pressure of being very public

Royals deal with it as everyone else. Being in the public eye all the time isn't all bright lights and fairytales. The pressure itself can take a toll on the relationship if not stable. A good rule of thumb is to keep your private life private no matter who you are speaking to outside of the family. How do you not show in public what you feel in an official funcation? Not easy sometimes. I put on a show myself in 2003 at a funcation with a smile while I didn't want to. I sat with my mouth shut and let the man do the talking. You learn to deal with it in public or the whole world will know there is trouble. Death of someone in your family is an exception. If you recall when Princess Diana died which brought Charles and his sons closer the boys looked at their shoes part of the time. Grief like that is something no matter how well trained you are can't be hidden. Here is a good example of two doing what is expected of them no matter how they felt duty was first and always has been with Albert. I can only hope and pray the partner he chooses has the ability and strengh to follow suit. Someone to prove once and for all there was someone his equal in heart and what duty involves. http://pro.corbis.com/images/42-1514...-1aaa0cc53383}

I guess they go to Marriage counseling like everyone else.

I know that Alexandra and Joachim talked to someone when their marriage was ending. I think their counselor was also the minister who married them.

It's got to be hard, because in reality you don't have many others besides your spouse to talk to about the personal things in cases like that.

I think normally.........the royals are also people.....if they need to solve the problem, they go like any normal people....it´s not because they´re royalty that they can´t have problems and can´t going to this places...

if they go to marriage counsellor, aren't they afraid these people gonna sell their secrets to the press?

Nathalian · #10 05-15-2005, 03:43 PM

No, beacuse when you go to this especialist, they don´t reveal what was said in the room....to anybody....it´s like the Priest and the confessor, layer as client.......if they speak, they can be sue...

I'm not so sure. For example, the counselor of JFK Jr and his wife Carolyn sold details to the press (he revealed that Carolyn had a cocaine problem). Since they were like the American royalty and knowing that Americans tend to sue more than any other people in the world, I don't really think European royalty is protected (remember too Diana shrinks selling info to the press...)
