3. What use do they have for a Ketubah?
American Sabrah   (03.11.11)
Isn't that what a prenuptial is for?
4. Hopefully this Ketubah will oblige them to live morally
Chaim   (03.11.11)
together.
5. Why would they want this....
(03.11.11)
William and Kate are Christian. Why would they want a Jewish marriage certificate lol.
6. Why are some so cynical about this?
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (03.11.11)
No, they don't "need" this, and of course it's not a real ketubah. It's custom made for them to reflect the occasion. The British ambassador in accepting it didn't diplomatically say, "Very nice, thank you", he said, "an extremely appropriate and lovely gift". I'll take that at face value. And to the cynics I would ask, "What would you have Israel give them?"
7. Wedding Gift
yoel reuben ,   Israel   (03.11.11)

11. Duh? youre ignorant
American ,   USA   (03.11.11)
What do you think is a prenuptial? The prenuptial is the ENGLISH word for the contract for the nuptial (marriage.) Duh - Hebrew Ketubah is the contract for marriage. The Prenuptial is the contract for marriage with emphasis of signing it before the ceremony! simple.
12. #10 WW1 and WW2 would be my guess
mat ,   usa   (03.11.11)

15. #10 because your German? Inferiority complex?
(03.12.11)
16. I can just visualize it now
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.12.11)
Britain will get ticked off against Israel, to show their displeasure, they'lll return the Ketubah the same way Obama returned the bust of Winston Churchill
17. #15 You don't have to be German
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.12.11)
Many people dislike the Brits Including the American Colonists that revolted and sent them packing back to England (American Revolution) Pakistan & India were quite happy to see their tails when the departed Falklands would just love to see them go Palestine was quite happy to get rid of them, as were the Jews who while attempting to reach Palestine, were interred on Cyprus Each and every time the Brits departed, they left a Royal Mess behind them Any country that's had the Brits in charge was more than eager to see them get the hell away
18. #15....zzzzzzzzz
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.12.11)
19. #17 so how do you explain the British Commonwealth?
happy ,   Canada   (03.13.11)
UK, Canada, Australia, NZ , India and dozens of other countries from every continent still held together in bonds of friendship on many levels leading to cooperation on things like the Commonwealth games and hundreds of other events and initiatives. Its a big club but you and your big brother America aren't members. No one is losing sleep over you hating us all.
20. #19 Lighten Up
babawawa ,   new york, usa   (03.13.11)
We Americans don't want to be members of your club, and we're not losing sleep over it either. The British were big time occupiers of other peoples' lands, and need to keep their opinions to themselves.
21. We hate the British?
ivan b. ,   San Jose, CA USA   (03.13.11)
Please, if there's any dislike for the British in America, I don't see it. The French, though . . . just kidding!
22. Ketubah because
Paul ,   Australia   (03.17.11)
William's mother Diana is Jewish because her mother was Jewish (Frances Shand-Kydd).Just because they are not practising does not mean that they are not , they are Jewish by blood.The same goes for Kate Middleton on her matri-lineal line if you go into her family history. So the ketubah is appropriate for those who have jewish bloodlines even if not practising Judaism.
