Prince William and Kate Middleton have been a couple for almost two decades. The two met while studying at St. Andrews, and even though they have been through some tough times, they have always resolved whatever issues hit them.
In recent months, however, Kate Middleton’s surgery and the speculations it has brought have put the Prince and Princess of Wales in a rather tough spot. Bizarre theories surrounding Kate’s absent behavior have flooded the internet, and now, William has even been forced to address them.
While Kate is still not back on royal duty, life within the Firm can be challenging. At the start of their relationship, Kate understood it would take up a lot of time. Before marrying William, the princess had a regular job, but being there for her boyfriend was still prioritized. Therefore, Kate made quite an unusual request to her employer—all because of her romance.
When Prince William and Kate Middleton met at St. Andrews University and fell in love, it didn’t take long before the newspapers were all over her.
While she had no skeletons in the closet, it didn’t stop the newspapers from coming after her in the most cruel way possible, giving her lousy nicknames.
Prince William & Kate Middleton – early relationship
However, just like today, Kate never appeared to care about the things written about her. In private, Prince William played an important role.
At an early stage in their relationship, the future king had already begun preparing Kate for what was to come and all the things she needed to know about royal life.
“It was very sensible in the circumstances for Kate and William to get to know each other over the length of time that they felt appropriate. But it can be hurtful seeing those headlines and obviously very stressful,” royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams. said.
William and Kate had their fair share of ups and downs, like any other couple. Although we know the two figured everything out today, that was different for some time.
After some rather startling line of events, William and Kate split in 2007. It didn’t take long before rumors about what had happened spread.
Some royal experts claimed Prince William decided to split up with Kate because he felt the “fun” had disappeared from their relationship. Meanwhile, Kate was said to have been left “desperately upset” after the breakup, as she had already pictured how they would marry.
