Prince William and Kate Middleton are hailed as strong power couple and both keep on the foot for almost twenty years now. But their relationship has faced many ups and downs and It’s not like you see a quiet life.
After dating for a few years in university, the two quickly separated in 2007 as William suspected “he could do better.”
The young prince was doubting about settling down by then, as claimed by author and broadcaster Vicky Ward who said William wanted to explore his options and have a string of relationships.
Ward writes, via Express: “He talked to friends during this time and basically expressed his confusion. On the one hand he loved Kate and wanted it to work.”
“But he wanted to be sure he’d explored all his options. As he told a source, ‘I think it’s a good idea to sow my wild oats.’ What he discovered was that the other women he was interested in were occupied or not interested in him,” she added.
He wrote: “Much to Kate’s distress, William ended their relationship. It was a storm that had been brewing a long time, arising from his unwillingness to commit and the feeling his friends noted that ‘he could do better’.”
William’s close mate told Morton: “He thought he could do better, but realised very quickly what he had given up. William saw pictures of Kate coming out of Boujis [nightclub] or wherever without a care in the world.”
“Quite frankly, he didn’t like the idea of another guy enjoying with his girl. They had an up-and-down relationship at St Andrews because of his refusal to commit,” the source went on to say.
“After the break-up he realised what he really wanted in life,” they added.
