The Duchess of Cambridge is married to a Prince to the throne of England. There is a profound understanding that married women and men share intimacy in any way they like. It is one of the joys of marriage.
People pay real money to go to resorts around the world to do EXACTLY what William and Kate did in their own private estate. They never should be ashamed of who they are or how wonderful their marriage is for the world to witness. They are dynamic, they are changing the face of the royals to be more human and more accessible.
I find the moral content to marriage, any marriage to be above exploitation. A couple's intimacy is a comfort in a marriage. It is shelter from the world. It is a real place in someone else's heart and is a strength without compromise to see each through the worst of times and joy through the best of times.
Have they celebrated their first anniversary yet? Okay, April 29, 2011. Newlyweds still.
I find the press stupid in their attempts to win monies from readers. There needs to be an understanding that married couples are above exploitation. Not just when they are royal, but, always. I've had enough of the trash, especially when it hacks away at some of the most decent acts of intimacy of a married couple.
Does the assault on decency never stop? Hacked emails and not this trash rag.

The newspaper, co-owned by media baron Richard Desmond's Northern and Shell group and the Irish-based Independent News and Media, has been under threat of closure since publishing the pictures.
Mr O'Kane's suspension was announced n a statement by the company behind the Dublin operation, Independent Star, just hours after Ireland's Justice Minister Alan Shatter said he was reviving abandoned privacy laws on the back of the scandal.
The Irish Daily Star ran with the pictures in Saturday's edition. The decision was robustly defended by Mr O'Kane in a radio interview where he claimed Kate was a celebrity like singer Rihanna, that the photos were taken from a public road and that it also highlighted a royal security issue....
