From the moment she produced an heir, she knew she has a position and income guaranteed for the rest of her life, whatever happens.
I doubt she thought much about this, if at all.
She appears to love her husband and her child very much - THEY are her focus, not her "good fortune" at being linked to an income for the rest of her life.
You could also have as many kids as you wish, there would always be servants to take care of them.
You obviously have never had children
I ENJOY taking care of my kids and love spending time with them. I would never hand that privilege over to someone else. I don't really see the logic in that.

The best schools are the ones where the parent is involved in the child's education.
Drivers to pick them up from where? My kids would be with me
As for bathing them, once they hit about 5yrs old, they could do that independently. Before that, it really wasn't a chore.
I'm curious about how people would feel in regards to getting to know a member of royalty, falling in love and potentially marrying him/her.
This might be a bit foreign to Americans (or perhaps not so because of the Kate effect) but these days there's a talk about the rise of "middle class royalty" in Europe, since most royals marry common people instead of other royals or aristocrats.
Would you be able to get past the consequences of marrying such a person if you were really in love?
Beware that presidents and prime ministers come and go but you would be on the spotlight for life (even if you divorced).
No. And, Prince Williams is taken, so definitely NOT!

I can't say I never would but I can't say I absolutely would either.
I like a nice, quiet life and I doubt anyone can get nice and quiet being part of Royalty or the Celebrity circle.
I think I would probably pass if the option came up unless I could be guaranteed I would not be part of the circus surrounding such individuals. (I hate clowns)
You could always marry the daughter or a grand daughter of a queen's sister. In many countries, they qualify as "Royals", but they are otherwise unknown and often broke.

No, despite the money. It seems like too much pressure, publicity and pomp to always have to live up to. I'm relaxed, private, spontaneous, and need to be natural, free, human. I can't deal with being bombarded with news journalists and photographers when I want to go out for pizza, Buffalo wings, and be really bad at bowling. I also like to walk around in comfortable, unfashionable clothes every now and then, or no clothes if I feel like it.
Not worth the money and royal status. But then again ...I could be a baroness. The appeal is attractive IF I actually love the guy without being aware he's a royal first. I'd compromise to do it if I love the guy and he loved me.
