Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are just like any other married couple.

They have occasional arguments, but they know how to keep them under control.

According to Tom Quinn, author of Gilded Youth, the couple has terrific rows just like anyone else, but they always adhere to the late II's mantra of never complaining in anything but measured terms.

Quinn notes that William takes after his grandmother in his dealings, while Catherine is very good at not complaining.

Apparently, this has served them well in their relationship, and they always keep their rows under control by throwing cushions at each other instead of heavy vases.

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

It's no secret that II knew a thing or two about keeping up appearances while dealing with internal conflict.

However, 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.

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 at each other works for William and Catherine, who are we to judge?

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 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.

It's worth noting that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been married for over ten years and have three children together.

They have always presented a united front in public and have been praised for their commitment to their royal duties.

However, like any other couple, they face challenges in their marriage, but they seem to have found a way to work through them.
