Prince William and Kate Middleton might have a rock-solid relationship for all intents and purposes, but that doesn’t mean that things are always perfect between the two. As with any couple together for more than two decades, William and Kate do see their share of fights.

Still, they always make sure that nothing gets taken too seriously and that things can be diffused with ease — and Kate has a “secret weapon” for doing so.

Kate Middleton throws couch cushions at Prince William during fights

Apparently, dealing with Prince William isn’t always easy. According to The Independent, a source told Mirror that William does have tantrums quite often; he gets frustrated about things, which in turn means that Kate has to deal with it. But the insider also claimed that Kate’s “secret weapon” for dealing with her husband is throwing couch cushions at him.

It might seem odd, but it supposedly diffuses the situation in a light-hearted way; it resembles a pillow fight in a sense, which allows the two to get their frustration out in a non-damaging manner. It seems that every couple has their own technique for handling stress and arguments, and this reportedly works for the Prince and Princess of Wales.

“William and Kate throw cushions at each other. It’s always kept under control,” the insider, an alleged former staffer, said. They added that Kate sometimes sees William as if he is a “fourth child” due to those tantrums.

Although William and Kate never fight in public, it’s fair to say that with the pressures of royal life always weighing heavily on them, it’s possible there are some arguments here and there.

Prince William and Kate Middleton continue to have a strong relationship

When Kate disappeared from the spotlight back in December 2023, it took a little while for people to notice. But after a while, the rumor mill began to churn that something was wrong between William and Kate. There are divorce rumors, infidelity rumors, and even stories that Kate wasn’t alive. But through the stories, William and Kate have remained one unit and seemingly not let the rumors get the best of them.

William has continued taking care of his wife amid her chemotherapy and recovery, and the two have been spotted driving together and spending time with one another without their kids. Of course, that doesn’t mean things are always perfect, but William and Kate have proved time and time again that their relationship will outlive any harsh rumors.
