Jonathan and Kate have three children, Patrick, 26, Gabriel, 22, and Phoebe, 19.The couple has been together for 43 years without any intention of getting married. The actor himself said once that marriage was ‘not necessary’ for them. It seems like their bond was so strong that it could last forever without having to enter the institution of marriage. However as per the recent news the couple got married in secret.

What does this marriage indicate? Is he showing appreciation towards his wife for her 43 yearlong commitment or has the actor finally understood the importance of sacred marriage vows and decided to get married for that sake is not yet spoken about. Some news has also speculated that marriage after being in a long, long relationship has something to do with avoiding inheritance tax. Well that is not a bad idea after all.

What matters is that the 68 year old actor, who  has 6 feet long height Jonathan Pryce has  finally said the marriage vows and Kate has finally got the long awaited wedding band from the father of her children and love of her life.

The actor has an estimated net worth of $5 million
