– Advertisement – The British royal family is probably one of the most famous families there are, and as such, it doesn’t really come as a surprise that both the public and the media are eagerly following their every move. And yes, one thing about this family is that they have always been surrounded by scandals, most recently one involving King Charles’ brother, former Prince Andrew. Previously, it was the Sussexes who caused a stir and dragged the family through the “mud” when they left Britain for sunny California and revealed everything there was to be revealed about things happening behind closed doors. This time, however, all eyes are on Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Namely, the social media has been on fire with rumors suggesting the couple are calling it quits. So what’s the truth behind these…well, rumors? LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – MAY 06: (EMBARGOED FOR PUBLICATION IN UK NEWSPAPERS UNTIL 24 HOURS AFTER CREATE DATE AND TIME) Catherine, Princess of Wales (wearing the Mantle of the Royal Victorian Order) and Prince William, Prince of Wales (wearing the Mantle of the Order of the Garter) watch an RAF flypast from the balcony of Buckingham Palace following the Coronation of King Charles III & Queen Camilla at Westminster Abbey on May 6, 2023 in London, England. The Coronation of Charles III and his wife, Camilla, as King and Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the other Commonwealth realms takes place at Westminster Abbey today.

Needless to say, the tabloid sparked rumors and people started acting like detectives, trying to figure out if Kate and William are indeed in a bad place at the moment. Among the rest, many noticed that the future Queen wasn’t wearing her famous sapphire ring during a hospital visit in January.
Also, some were quick to point out that Prince William failed to post the usual gushing tribute for her 44th birthday, which honestly, puzzled many. Next, old rumours of William’s alleged affair with aristocrat Rose Hanbury have resurfaced. Reports from 2019 claimed Kate was devastated and that the couple sought marital counselling. A 2022 anonymous tip described the affair as “an open secret in London.
” And to top it all off, a new biography by Russell Myers came out this week, retreading their 2007 split and their various “headstrong” personality clashes over the years. The book, however, focuses on the strong chemistry between the couple. According to Mayers, “William relies on Catherine professionally, personally and emotionally,” as reported by Mint. KP allowed and contributed to many false stories about Meghan, but with this report about William & Kate, and several others, they flexed their power to get it removed.

And while social media was obsessing over the “missing” birthday post, the palace actually released a quiet, reflective video of her in nature to celebrate her birthday, looking healthy and at peace after a rough couple of years of navigating her own cancer recovery and King Charles’ illness. According to Hello! , the Prince and Princess of Wales have started 2026 in their new home, Forest Lodge, where they moved in November of last year. So, instead of retreating to Bucklebury, as rumors have it, she’s literally setting up a new long-term base with her husband.
So, are Kate and William a perfect, stress-free couple? I doubt so, because no one really is. They are dealing with the looming reality of becoming a King and Queen in the future, all while raising three kids whom they want to provide as normal childhood as possible and navigating major health issues.

And rumors do exactly that, take a handful of isolated moments such as bare finger, and blow it out of proportion. As they move forward to their 15th wedding anniversary, it feels less like a breakup and more like a couple looking for some privacy.
