Prince William And Kate Middleton’s Split Had Friends Feeling Thankful ‘It’s Over’

In light of the rumors surrounding Prince William and the alleged cheating incident with Rose Hanbury, tension soars high between Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton. However, the two has had their fair share of troubles in the past, even splitting up briefly in 2007.

Andrew Morton discusses this at length in his book entitled “William And Catherine,” which was released in 2011. The couple was purportedly separated for a few months, which the biographer reasons is due to the Duke of Cambridge having second thoughts about the relationship.

“There was an emotional conflict: while Kate had made it clear that she wanted a commitment from her man, Prince William, according to close friends, was not so sure,” Morton wrote.

The relationship had been rocky for some time with William treating Kate “like a servant,” as the author describes. William would, at times, take her for granted, which she really disliked. “She didn’t like it when he ignored her and got into conversation with someone as though she wasn’t there,” the author continued.

It was also revealed that only a few of Kate’s friends “shed a tear” when the two had split. “The prevailing reaction for most of them was ‘Thank goodness that’s over!’” revealed the biographer in his book.

A lot of Kate’s friends had been upset with her after she “disappeared down the royal rabbit hole.” The Duchess of Cambridge had been distant, not “making an effort” to see her friends — leaving them to feel like they were “left out in the cold.”

“It was an edgy relationship,” a friend of the royal couple had confided. “They were always in and out,” he continued.

After a few months, William realized the error of his ways and wanted to get back together with Kate. He took her to a romantic Seychelles getaway that summer and made a secret pact with her, showing the commitment that she had been looking for from him. William would eventually prove true to his pact with Kate after he had gotten engaged to her in 2010.

“I think at the time I 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,” answered Kate after being asked about the 2007 breakup. “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,” she added.
