Royal Couple Reveals the Secret to a Successful Marriage: Cushion Throwing

Even the royal family is not immune to the occasional spat.

According to Tom Quinn, author of Gilded Youth, an intimate history of growing up in the royal family, Prince William and his wife Catherine have terrific rows, just like any other married couple.

But fear not, royal watchers.

The secret to their successful marriage lies in the wisdom of none other than the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Quinn notes that William, who takes after his grandmother in his dealings, and Catherine, who is very good at not complaining, both adhere to the Queen's mantra of never complaining in anything but measured terms.

Apparently, this has served them well in their relationship as they always keep their rows under control by throwing cushions at each other instead of heavy vases, because, you know, nothing diffuses an argument like a good cushion toss.

While it's refreshing to hear that even the seemingly perfect Prince and Princess of Wales have their moments of discord, it's also reassuring to know that they're taking cues from one of the most respected monarchs in history.

After all, if anyone knows a thing or two about keeping up appearances while dealing with internal conflict, it's Queen Elizabeth II.

But let's be real, even the Queen herself must have had some pretty epic fights with Prince Philip over the years.

We can only imagine the heated arguments that ensued when he forgot to put the toilet seat down or ate the last biscuit in the tin, because, let's face it, those are the kind of things that really test a marriage.

Regardless of the occasional marital tiff, it's clear that William and Catherine are committed to making their marriage work, and if that means taking inspiration from the Queen's stoic resolve in the face of adversity, then more power to them.

Of course, it's worth noting that not everyone is cut out for the kind of stiff-upper-lip mentality that the royal family is known for.

In fact, some experts argue that bottling up your emotions can actually be harmful to your mental health in the long run.

But hey, if throwing cushions to each other works for William and Catherine, who are we to judge?

After all, every relationship is different, and what might work for one couple might not work for another.

Some people might prefer to hash things out with a good old-fashioned shouting match, while others might opt for a more peaceful approach like meditation or deep breathing.

The key, it seems, is to find what works for you and your partner, and to never stop communicating.

Whether you're a member of the royal family or just an average Joe, there's no denying that a healthy relationship requires effort, compromise, and a willingness to work through the tough times together.

So here's to William and Catherine, the cushion-throwing royals who remind us that even the most picture-perfect relationships have their flaws.
