Details of the break-up between Prince William and Kate Middleton have been slowly leaking. None of these details, though, have come directly from the parties involved. Prince William, obviously, can hardly be expected to make a public statement about it. Kate, meanwhile, is said to have promised her ex-boyfriend that she will not be a tattle-tale.
Friends of the couple are the supposed sources of the story. And, according to various media, here’s what happened:
-
Prince William had sought the advice of his grandmother The Queen and his father Prince Charles. He was told that there was no hurry for him to get married.
-
The two had a heart-to-heart talk about their relationship during their skiing trip to Zermatt with friends.
-
During their lengthy talk, the two realized they wanted different things.
According to the Mirror:
William told Kate of his frustration that he could not fully concentrate on his new life as a young officer. Nor did he feel free to enjoy himself. He knows he faces increasing commitments as he takes on a more senior role in the Royal Family.
He now believes his two years in the Army could be his last chance for fun.
Kate told him she felt abandoned by his long hours with the Army and did not want to be treated like a doormat.
She was also said to have asked William for assurances about their future after he cavorted with Tess Shepherd, Ana Ferreira and Lisa Agar on a series of nights out.
A royal insider said: “Clearly, it was upsetting for both of them. But there were no dramas or angry scenes.

Once back in England, Kate and William talked over the phone, and that was when Kate knew that it was all over for good.
