Prince William and Kate Middleton ‘questioned whole relationship’ after furious row

Back in April, Prince William and Kate Middleton celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary. The couple were married in a historic ceremony in 2011 and have since gone on to welcome three children together. It’s clear they are blissfully happy together.

But it hasn’t always been a fairytale. The couple did briefly split up in April 2007, four years into the relationship, which came as a surprise to royal watchers. It’s thought that one of the reasons behind the decision was William’s decision not to spend New Year’s Eve with the Middletons in 2006.

It reportedly prompted the couple to reevaluate their relationship and ultimately decide to take a break. At the time, one of Kate’s colleagues told the Mirror
that they saw Kate take the break-up call in the office car park in London.

They said: “It was clear it was William – and definitely a tiff. Around the middle of the day, she was pacing the car park outside the office on her mobile. A few people noticed because it’s a pretty unusual thing to do. She’d deliberately gone outside to take the call because she didn’t want to be overheard.

“Kate was walking up and down and looking upset as if she was having an argument. But she didn’t cry. Word went round that it was William and they were having problems. Now it’s clear what it was all about. When she came back to the office she didn’t say a thing and disappeared for the rest of the day. We didn’t think anything about it at the time. But looking back, the call was definitely a girlfriend-boyfriend tiff.”

William and Kate’s love story began when they met at the University of St Andrews in Scotland in September 2001 where they both lived at St Salvator’s Hall residence. After starting off as friends, they began getting closer in 2002 and were pictured publicly together for the first time two years later when Kate accompanied William on a family ski trip to Klosters in Switzerland.
