Link: Beebs Kelley
Beebs Kelley did an interesting video a while back. Her theory was that they left thinking that they would be missed so much that the Queen would beg them to come back and give them everything they wanted.
I agree with much of what she had to say, up until she says that if they had just been a little bit more patent and put in a little bit more work, etc.
They would never have been happy having something similar to what William and Catherine have, they wanted at least equal to and would have pushed for better than. Didn't matter that what they wanted was impossible.
