Here in the UK, we are being drenched with Prince William and Kate Middleton stories in the media. They are everywhere!
Unlike the loved-up celebrities who can’t wait to show off the latest in a long line of soul mates, what’s different about Prince William and Middleton is their quiet togetherness. They already exude a sense of being an ‘us,’ rather than part of a ‘me + me’ relationship. Their focus is on each other, and they’re not trying to convince their friends or the world that they’re together. They just are.
They royal couple each have what I describe in my book, How to Be The One — a well-developed Emotional Core, the emotional equivalent of a strong physical core stability known to anyone who has ever practiced Yoga or Pilates. The emotional ‘muscles’ they have developed in life include: a healthy self-esteem, an appealing attitude to life, a deep sense of inner happiness and kindness towards others.
