We’ve all heard the alarming news: “Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Wales, has been photoshopped into social media pictures by the Palace!”

So many rumors and speculations have been shared amongst gossip circles, certainly shared by people like myself, who are either overwhelmed by the crushing expectations of life or the weight of the boredom I feel when I’m not overstimulated.

First of all, what even happened to Kate?

As far as we know, she’s been seen at a farmer’s market with her husband, Prince William.

Although, I would like to say it’s not very clear that this is footage of her. It could be anyone who vaguely looks like her. Anyone who has been on the internet has probably seen a doppelganger of Kate Middleton or Taylor Swift at some point.

But why would we not believe that she’s actually in this footage?

Well, probably because we’ve lost trust in the media. Not one gossip magazine nor reputable journal shares facts we can trust 100%.

In the era where Trump shouts “Fake News” rent-free, in our minds, it is clear that we cannot choose to believe in good faith that an alleged video of the Duchess of Wales would surface randomly after months of absence.

Another thing none of us should believe is in the perfect man, and no one proves that better than Kate Middleton.

The one we dubbed “Waity Katie” met her sweetheart at St Andrew’s – at university, a time when Prince William probably thought more often about a cool pack of beer than the jewels on the crown.

For years, their dynamic was a series of ups and downs, where Kate appeared to always be waiting for Prince William to realize she’s the one and that she’s not just some pining fan. In 2007, the couple broke up for a few months, allegedly because William didn’t want to spend New Year’s Eve with the Middletons – An extremely wealthy family but, more importantly, his long-term girlfriend’s family.

If this is true, what does this say about Prince William?

Then he gets upset over little things or perhaps that he can’t make any compromises.

As someone who doesn’t know the royals at all and who is purely babbling my way through this article, the little footage I have viewed of Prince William with Kate depicts a woman who is so enamored with her partner that he takes her for granted and forgets the sacrifices she makes.

This leads me to my little “cheat sheet” to knowing whether a man is actually “high quality” or not.

Because, indeed, Prince William may be a royal, but even his DNA couldn’t bequeath him any class.

Beware of money

Yes, Prince William is rich like no other. Maybe some will even say “Who cares if he’s cheating if he’s got cheques?”

In reality, very few women can make an abstraction of a man’s treatment of them, regardless of the wads of cash they wave.

However, many “traditional” men view status and money as indicators of their inherent worth and quality.

As realistic as this perspective may be, there is a caveat to this: Money and status may attract people, of course. It’s important for women to select partners that are not a financial or social burden.

But as the old adage says: “Marry for money and you will pay for it every day of your life.”

There is nothing more disagreeable than being stuck with a rich person who thinks they’ve bought their way out of common sense, respect, and dignity.

Being cheated on is a problem: STDs, a decline of your self-esteem, and an absence of physical loyalty cannot be beneficial to anyone.

Listen to him speak.

A private source who met Prince William years ago detailed to me that the Prince was quite foul-mouthed.

This shocked me a little bit. How on earth is it that a man with the best education in the entire world swears around people he isn’t familiar with?

In my opinion, this showcases a general lack of respect for strangers, and I don’t put up with that when it comes to men.

Of course, some of you may be thinking I’m dramatic. And you’d be right.

This article is just a rambling collection of my ideas about the Prince.

How high are you on a priority scale?

If you look at the Prince and Kate on their photos – Please tell me how close these two look?

Not that close. You will notice Kate mainly looks at William in photos, and he usually stares ahead.

My speculation is that Kate is not a priority to William.

Of course, relationships evolve over time, and passionate love becomes cool and even-tempered.

But usually, when you’re a woman in a straight relationship, it’s better to sense that your partner is keen to please you, as most of us are socialized to please others. To avoid becoming the subservient party, it is important to choose a partner that adores you.

My conclusion here is that you truly need to choose a man who adores you, speaks intentionally to you and others and doesn’t rely on birth rights and cash to be viewed as a high value person.
