In 2007, Prince William reportedly broke up with Kate Middleton over the phone while she was in the middle of a business meeting.
According to the new book, "Battle of Brothers", by royal historian Robert Lacey, William was "unsure" about his relationship with Kate, with whom he was then linked for 6 years. , thus took a hasty step exactly on April 11, 2007.
"Kate excused herself and walked out of her meeting at Jigsaw, the fashion store she had started working with, to return the call to Prince William," Lacey wrote, according to US Weekly reports.
"She locked the door for more than an hour. When she came out, she was single! ”
The split was the second for William and Kate, following an earlier split in 2004 and Kate was determined to show William that she was very good without him.
The future Duchess of Cambridgde, Lacey writes, “was seen enjoying solitude in the party district in London. Mrs. Middleton did not want to look "possible" and all this indifference worked. "William got the message."
The prince reportedly began to miss not only Kate but also her family.
Ten and a half weeks after the split, Kate and William were seen kissing at a party and three years later, they got engaged.
Apparently, no ordinary separation can change the course of true love, can it?
