Prince William dumped Kate Middleton and said ‘I’m single’ – but she got him back in an unusual way

According to the biographer of the Princess of Wales, Prince William broke up with her in 2007 because he considered himself too young for a permanent relationship.

Young Prince William was having fun with friends and shouting “I’m free!” after ending his relationship with Kate Middleton over the phone in a half-hour conversation, royal biographer Robert Jobson said. According to him, the 25-year-old Prince of Wales ended his relationship with his future wife, deciding that he was too young to settle down. This version is outlined by Robert Jobson in his new biography of Kate, which details the couple’s brief breakup in 2007.

Prince William began a romantic relationship with Kate Middleton while studying at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. The couple appeared together everywhere, and there were rumors that the future heir to the throne was preparing to propose. “I’m free!” “William shouted, doing a drunken version of the robot dance,” DailyMail quotes Jobson as saying about the prince’s “bachelor” party at the Mahiki nightclub in Mayfair.

Soon after the breakup, the prince began courting someone else. His chosen one was socialite Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe. However, according to rumors, she rejected William’s claims because she did not want to be bound by the inevitable strict requirements of royal protocol. We talked about all the girls the prince dated before Kate Middleton, as well as during his separation from her.

At the time of the breakup, the couple had been together for five years. Their friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship in 2002, when Kate showed off her impeccable figure at a student charity fashion show. Some journalists even nicknamed Middleton “Waity Kate” due to the long duration of her relationship with the prince without an engagement. After William disrupted Kate’s 25th birthday plans in January 2007, she “felt something was wrong.”

Jobson said: “[William] told her they both needed more space to find their own path and he couldn’t promise her marriage. In an emotional half-hour conversation, they both admitted they were on “different pages.” It was a crushing blow for Katherine, who felt doubly disappointed at being dumped over the phone. “Few could have imagined that he would return to Kate, or that she would ever agree to take him back…” notes Robert.

However, Kate’s actions following the split made it impossible for the young prince to get his university girlfriend out of his mind. The girl was helped by her mother – Carole Middleton took her daughter on a trip to Dublin to distract her from mental trauma. Upon returning, Kate decided that she was not going to sit around and mope. Now she was in the public eye, and paparazzi repeatedly photographed Middleton in the most risqué outfits when she went out with friends.

One day, Kate went on vacation with a friend to Ibiza. The girls had fun until the night. Soon the paparazzi soon took so many pictures of Middleton leaving nightclubs that the prince could not miss these photos in the press. Kate came to the costume party dressed as a nurse, and William “fixed his gaze on her.” They spent the first part of the evening in an enthusiastic conversation, and then went to the dance floor, where they kissed.

Due to a previous breakup, their reunion was initially kept secret, but William still promised to marry Kate and gave her some confidence in their future together. He finally proposed formally in 2010 while on vacation in Kenya, on the shores of Lake Alice. “The question, of course, was not unexpected, but Kate’s face lit up with a radiant smile when she said “yes.”

Subsequently, the prince said that he waited so long to propose so that Kate would have the opportunity to better know all aspects of royal life before getting married. However, royal expert Katie Nicholl offers a different version of William’s slowness in proposing marriage. And we told you about the scale with which proposals were made in royal families before.
