I think it’s nice for Kate that her family is supporting her in the face of the negative press she’s been receiving. I imagine that her family’s support is one of the things that gives Kate the backbone and strength to keep going in spite of being dragged through the mud by the media.

Logically, I just don’t see the point in Party Pieces’ admittedly rather proactive promotion of Kate if she and William were no longer an item. Pragmatically speaking, it just would not matter, so why would they bother to promote Kate’s charitable activities front and center if she and William weren’t headed for the altar?

So, I am content to read between the lines, and take comfort in the fact that Kate at the very least, has an extremely supportive family on which to lean on. God only knows how this would have helped William’s mother in her own marriage.

I would think it must also be rather welcoming and reassuring to William, to know that a family can be so loyal in the face of such antagonism. That should bode well for later on, when Kate and William hit the inevitable bumps that are part of every union.

Maybe these two are better positioned for success than many wish to give them credit? To my view, that is a very good thing.
