The past half-decade has been anything but easy for Prince William and Kate Middleton, as their personal and professional lives have been scrutinized by royal experts and historians. Amanda Foreman, a noted royal historian, shared her thoughts on their tumultuous years in an interview with People magazine, providing a detailed review of the challenges the couple has faced.
Foreman explained that the last five years have been incredibly difficult for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. “There is a sense of protectiveness and partnership,” she said, referring to the couple’s bond through difficult times. “The last five years have been a nightmare for them in every possible way — the past year even more so. That either crushes a marriage, or it brings them together.”

Despite the hardships, Foreman pointed out that their relationship has endured and even strengthened. “And just in time, frankly — if there was ever a time when the country required stability, this is it,” she added, recognizing the crucial role the couple plays in maintaining public trust and morale.
The royal historian also highlighted the challenging international climate, noting the “unstable” global situation. She praised the couple’s ability to rise to the occasion, particularly given Kate’s recent battle with cancer. “The international stage is so unstable, it is rather extraordinary to see how both have risen to the occasion,” she said, referring to their ability to continue their royal duties despite personal and global challenges.
While Kate’s public engagements have been lighter as she recovers, she did make a notable appearance as the honorary colonel at the St. Patrick’s Day event. No foreign tours are currently planned for the Duchess, and her schedule is expected to remain less demanding for the foreseeable future.
