Prince William and Kate Middleton
There was a little lighter news today with the announcement that Prince William and Kate Middleton will marry next spring or summer. Their eight year relationship started their first year in college. Prince William is the firstborn and the British press use to refer to him and his brother Harry as the heir and the spare.Kate is also the firstborn with a sister Pippa a few years younger and brother James four years younger than Pippa.
FIRSTBORNS – LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
Kate sounds like a very high achieving firstborn called an A-grade student and excelled in both hockey and tennis. Being both the student and athlete didn’t give sister Pippa much of a chance to “dethrone” her. With these two firstborns getting together you see one type of “Love at first sight” as they both share a number one birth order.
They both see a mirror image of themselves. The problem here is that they both will have a problem admitting to each other that they made a mistake. They also may both want to lead so someone is going to find themselves number two. This may be easier for the Royals as one can be King and the other Queen.
EQUALS
This marriage may be one of equals not like the marriage of Charles and Diana. This was a difficult marriage that we all saw fall apart in the public media. Charles a firstborn married Diana a 3/1 double birth order. She had two sisters more than 4 years older then herself and her younger brother.
This created a family within a family and another type of Double birth order. Diana had two very distinct personalities both a sensitive caring number three and a want to be in charge number one. If you look back on her life you will see these two sides to her personality.
SIBLINGS COME WITH THE BRIDE
The most interesting side of the William and Kate union will be her little brother James. He carries the Double birth order of a Three/Only. I predict a lot of drama here that the Royals will be trying to tone down and cover up. Already he is being investigated by the Financial Services Authority into an investment company where he works.
His previous experience was running a cake making company.He now is development manager for a company that buys rain forest land for clients who in return receive carbon credits to trade on the global market. The future headlines will be interesting for the future King of England’s brother-in–law.
