WILLIAM & KATE: Our Marriage Isn't Perfect

What fairy tale? Prince William and Princess Kate have to work on their relationship just like everyone else

It looked a lot like any other summer. Prince William drove his wife, Princess Kate, and their son George to Crathie Kirk, near Scotland's Balmoral Castle, for Sunday service with King Charles and Queen Camilla on Aug. 25. "The royal family always goes to the same little church that the queen attended for years when they're on summer vacation," says the source. "It was nice to see that Kate is back to her normal schedule, and she and William both looked very happy."

But that's not always the case. "William has really stepped up since Kate's cancer diagnosis, but that doesn't mean all of their issues have been magically resolved," says the source, noting that the intense pressure involved in preparing to take over for his ailing father, as well as lingering mistrust over William's affair scandal, which continues to make headlines, "have them both on edge. Kate has always been the first to admit that their marriage isn't perfect, and this year has been especially trying."
