The royal couple, Prince William and Princess Kate had married in 2011, on the 29th of April, at Westminster Abbey in London. Four years before their wedding, the couple separated their ways, as many outlet reported that their relationship was over. The rumors about their decision had spread incredibly fast.
Royal experts stated that William couldn’t feel the fun he used to, and he decided to leave Middleton, which she was “desperately upset,” as she was thinking that they would marry.
After the couple got separated, Prince William was seen at various night clubs, with other women.
After that, Kate was angry, as she was thinking that Prince William had humiliated her, and some “harsh words” were uttered, as she was thinking that he was “cheapening her image.”
Express reported as, “It was the first such warning she had dished out over the course of their four-and-a-half-year relationship,”
“Kate had had enough, and words were exchanged. Kate told William that he was making her look bad, one of her friends explained. She has coped for years with girls flinging themselves at her boyfriend, and for a while, she found it humorous and even flattering.”
Royal expert Christopher Anderson, the owner of, William and Kate: A Royal Love Story, had stated that both Kate and William had no control over their separation, and Camilla was starring in regards of their split
“I was in London when the breakup [of William and Kate] occurred. I was shocked, completely stunned, everyone thought it was only a matter of time before William was going to ask Kate to marry him. And then people started telling me that Camilla was behind it,” Christopher Anderson had stated in 2016.
Judy Wade, royal correspondent for Hello! Magazine, had shared that Kate couldn’t handle the changes being a member of Royal Family brought on her, as she stated, “She might have realized the awful burden she would have taken on. It’s a life sentence marrying a royal.”
For their engagement interview, Prince William had talked about the events that happened in 2007. “We did split up for a bit,” William stated.
“But that was just, we were both very young, it was at university, we were both finding ourselves and such, and being different characters and such.”
Kate Middleton added, “I think I, at the time, wasn’t very happy about it, but actually, it made me a stronger person,”
“You find out things about yourself that maybe you hadn’t realized. Or I think you can get quite consumed by a relationship when you’re younger. I really valued that time for me as well although I didn’t think it at the time, looking back on it.”
As they had faced hard times in their relationship, William and Kate needed to overcome every obstacle they faced in their way, since they were royals, and their marriage are made to last forever. Duncan Larcombe, royal expert, had stated that the couple has strong sparks for each other, and talked about their dates.
Larcombe had talked with OK! Magazine, in 2021. “Kate and William’s relationship blossomed when they were at St Andrew’s University, doing normal student-y things and just enjoying each other’s company.”
“Being a future king you might expect William to whisk Kate away to Paris for the day or an extravagant lunch at a top restaurant, but they’ve never been like that. They’re more of a fish and chips on the seafront type of couple, as we saw when they went back to St Andrew’s for an engagement recently.”
When the COVID pandemic hit the world, after the restrictions were decreased, William and Kate had some fun time out of the town.
They would visit the parents of Kate Middleton, and while there, they would let grandparents to babysit, while they go out.
“While the doting grandparents do the babysitting, William and Kate have been able to slip to the local pub for a night out, just the two of them.” Larcombe said.
“I’m told that they did this to celebrate William’s birthday in June [in 2021]. Another favorite of the couple is for William to cook bolognese for Kate, and they sit on the sofa watching TV. It reminds them of their student days when they first met and their enduring romance began.”
As they are seemingly perfect for each other, while they were attending to the wedding between Jordanian Crown Prince Hussein and his wife, Saudi Arabian royal Rajwa al-Seif, in Amman, Jordan, it was captured that Prince William had wanted from Middleton to move faster, as he said, “chop, chop!”
Body language expert, Judy James stated that the occasion was not the Prince’s “finest moments when it comes to either body language or words.”
“While he has clearly moved on from the meet and greet with the bride and groom, Kate stands talking to the bride in an animated and very friendly way,”
“She is not causing a ‘log jam’ [by] holding up the queue and the next guests are still talking to the groom, so there appears to be no logical reason for William to hurry his wife along, especially as she only adds a few seconds to the conversation.”
“It has to be said that his behavior is overly dominant here, with his critical parent behavior putting her firmly in the implied role of a naughty child.”
Royal expert Tom Quinn had talked about William and Kate, as he stated that they do not want to look like “the perfect couple that everyone else should try and emulate.”
The author of the book, Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up, Tom Quinn stated that the couple is a normal couple, who would occasionally, “really, really cross with each other,” and have some simple relationship problems with themselves.
“From people I’ve spoken to, it’s not as placid. It’s not as perfect as it might seem,” Tom Quinn said.
“But William adopts the manners and the way of behaving of his grandmother, and Kate is very good at not complaining and adopting.”
“Both of them have stuck to the thing that made the late Queen such a remarkable monarch. They very, very rarely complain. And when they do, it’s always in measured terms.”
“Kate might seem to be a very calm person, and William also. But it’s not always true. Because the big stress for William and Kate is that they’re constantly surrounded by [palace aides]. It’s like a Jane Austen novel,”
“Kate is very much the calm one,” Quinn continued.
“William is the one who’s a bit hotheaded. We see an example of that in Harry’s book… But Kate is very level-headed. She’s the one who will pour oil on troubled waters and go, ‘Let’s not stir things up.’”
