Wade said Kate started realizing how much her life would transform if she married into royalty. “It’s like a life sentence,” she explained.
Back then, William was with the Household Cavalry in Dorset, and Kate was in London, so they were often apart. During their engagement interview, they discussed the 2007 split.
William said, “We did break up for a bit. We were young, in university, figuring ourselves out.”
Kate added, “I wasn’t happy then, but it made me stronger. You learn about yourself. When you’re young, you can get too wrapped up in a relationship.”
William and Kate represent a new royal face. King Charles tries to modernize, and they show what the new generation’s like.
