Royal marriages don't always have fairytale endings. That sad fact is known all too well after watching the marriage of Princess Diana and Prince Charles implode in the early 1990s.
But according to tell-all biographer Andrew Morton, the royal family could be in for a very happy time ahead thanks to the recent marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The fairytale thread runs through Morton's latest book, "William and Catherine: Their Story."
"William and Catherine are the future of the royal family," Morton told CTV.ca on Thursday as he sat before a display of evening gowns belonging to the late Princess Di at Toronto's Design Exchange.
"There's a lot riding on this couple's shoulders. But I think they've got the stuff to make their marriage work and keep the monarchy alive for a new generation," said Morton.
The reason why, according to Morton, comes down to psychology.
"Kate is a mother figure. William has been looking for a mother and found one. Simple as that," Morton said.
Like his mother before him, the prince is a child of divorce. He longed for real nurturing, just like Diana.
That's what Prince William found in Kate and the Middletons, who are a nurturing family by all accounts, according to Morton.
