Kate Middleton reportedly had a brief split from her now-husband, Prince William, back in 2007. The breakup at the time, which lasted a few months, allegedly left the now-Prince of Wales “quiet, withdrawn, and not himself.” However, Middleton reportedly dealt with it as she was expected to. Despite all the public scrutiny, she never let go of her graceful nature.
Kate Middleton reportedly handled a brief breakup with Prince William gracefully
Kate Middleton was reportedly her usual graceful self even when she separated briefly from her now-husband, Prince William, in 2007. According to RadarOnline, a royal source said, “The media pressure on Kate was overwhelming [during this period].” The person continued, “They were still very young, and the level of scrutiny was intense.” The insider also added, “Stepping away for a while was the right move – it gave them both room to breathe.”
Meanwhile, Grant Harrold, a former royal butler, said to the news outlet that Middleton “was always the one [for Prince William].” He continued, “Even when they were apart, you could tell she was never far from his thoughts.” The former butler further claimed, “People think she’s shy, but she’s not.”
According to Harrold, Middleton “was warm and approachable – very down-to-earth.” He explained, “If you offered her a drink, she’d already be helping herself,” and added, “She never acted like she was above anyone.” Meanwhile, some sources believe that the brief break-up between William and Middleton helped them to strengthen their bond for the future.
A royal observer said that the brief split “really opened their eyes.” The person continued, “William came to see just how much he relied on Kate – not only as his partner but as the person who keeps him grounded.” The source added, “She gave him a sense of calm and stability he didn’t have without her.”
