No prenup for Will and Kate! Apparently, Prince William isn't taking divorce rates under consideration as he did not sign a prenuptial agreement to protect his fortune. Find out more about the details next!
Newlywed royal couple Kate Middleton and Prince William
have not signed a prenuptial agreement which would protect their
assets in case of divorce, although Prince William was believed to
do so. As a royalty, Prince William has a substantial fortune to
protect, but it seems that he didn't find it necessary to draw-up a
legal binding document before he tied the knot with his long-term
girlfriend Kate Middleton.
It is not uncommon for people nowadays to sign a prenup in case of
divorce, but Will and Kate decided to keep it traditional and not
take into account the possibility of a split although his father,
Prince Charles and his beloved mother, late Princess Diana have
gone through a divorce.
Rumors say that it was never suggested to William to sign a
prenup in the first place, therefore he didn't refuse it, as it was
never planned. The Royal society has confronted itself with
divorces in the past, so in case of divorce, the Duke of Cambridge
and his wife will have to turn to lawyers to reach a
settlement.
Apparently, Prince William, now known as the Duke of Cambridge
earns about £37,000 a year as a Flight Lieutenant in the RAF, but
in addition to his salary he has inherited £6.5 million when his
mother Princess Diana died back in 1997, sum which has probably
grown since then, and it's been reported that his
great-grandmother, The Queen Mother, placed two thirds of her money
into thrusts created for her grandsons William and Harry.
It's reported that Prince Charles pays the costs of William's
household, so apparently Prince William doesn't have to worry about
too much.
On the other hand, the new titled Catherine Duchess of Cambridge
doesn't have an income as she quit her job to
concentrate on the royal wedding preparations, so there
would be a lot to gain for Catherine in case of divorce. However,
we hope that Prince William doesn't regret his choice and they
remain happily-ever married!
