William and Kate Middleton “not as perfect as it seems”: Inside their rocky relationship

Prince William and Kate Middleton – A Royal Relationship with Ups and Downs
Prince William and Kate Middleton have been together for many years, but their relationship hasn’t always been smooth. In 2007, they briefly broke up—reportedly because William felt the “fun” was gone. Kate was left heartbroken, especially after William was seen out at nightclubs, which she felt was humiliating.
Some experts, including author Christopher Andersen, suggested that William’s stepmother, Camilla, may have influenced the breakup. However, the couple reconciled and married on April 29, 2011, at Westminster Abbey. Today, they have three children and aim to give them as normal a life as possible.
While they often appear as the perfect royal couple, insiders like Tom Quinn say William and Kate have their own arguments and stressful days, just like any other couple. Still, their ability to compromise and Kate’s calm nature help keep things steady.
They enjoy simple things—like home-cooked dinners or pub nights—reminding them of their early days at St. Andrews University. According to royal expert Duncan Larcombe, it’s this down-to-earth lifestyle that keeps their relationship strong and grounded.
