Prince William and Kate Middleton’s relationship is far from perfect. Despite the pretense of a seemingly perfect couple in front of the cameras and the public, the two have had their fair share of heartaches as well.

Before the two got married on what is now known as the most-watched royal wedding of all time, Prince William and Kate Middleton took a break from their relationship in 2007.

At this point, most of the public was in fear that the two were calling it finito on the relationship.

In the midst of all this, reasons such as finding themselves and all that was published, but the truth behind all of it was the fact that Prince William thought he could ‘do better.’

According to a report from Express UK, their split in 2007 was caused by Prince William’s sheer confidence that he could better find someone else than Kate.

Royal biographer Andrew Morton shared in an interview with Japan FM that the break-up brewing for a long time, resulting in the reluctance to commit and that Prince William and his friends said that he could do more.

But a long time friend of the royal admitted that Prince William was increasingly jealous of Kate’s ability to move on fast.

In the six-month breakup of Prince William and Kate, the then commoner lived her best life, which afforded her William’s endless thoughts about her.

"He thought he could do better but realized very quickly what he had given up. William has seen pictures of Kate coming out of Boujis or elsewhere carefree in the world. Frankly, he didn't like the idea of ​​another guy enjoying a hay roll with his girl."

Soon after, the Prince reconciled with Kate and dropped all of his frivolous thinking in a bid to secure her hand in marriage, and accordingly learned something deeper about himself and his relationship with Kate.

The friend of the couple continued by sharing that William found what he wanted in life through the break-up, and that was love and security from another person.

Kate Middleton and Prince William’s love affair was a well documented long one, as they dated for almost a decade before getting engaged.

Now, known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the two have been partners through thick and thin for almost 10 years and share three beautiful children who will someday take over the monarchy.
