So my partner who in the past hasn’t exactly been a knight in shining armour when I needed him last night put up a post on instagram. The image was quite cheesy and cringy, of a cloked knight brandishing a sword a d looking steely and protective, and the post was about Kate Middleton. He basically went on a rant uncharacteristically swearing and being angry and talking about himself in the third person and offering to fight and knock out the teeth of anyone who had or was going to hound her in the future and it read to me like a man who was defending his woman..
Now I get that he’s a royalists and that what happened to Kate was and is terrible but what bothers me is that he’s previously told me on several occasions that Kate reminds him a lot of how his ex wife looked in her “hey day” (his words). I can’t help feeling that this over protective defending thing is linked to that and triggering something. Am I mad to make that connection? It’s just that it was so out of character and such a strong reaction that I can’t quite get my head around it.
