In recent months, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s relationship has come under constant assault from unending rumors, including media claims that they are talking about divorcing. Although the Duke and Duchess of Wales have not yet responded, one of the royal writers at Buckingham Palace has provided a significant hint as to what might occur.
In his most recent book, “Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family,” Tom Quinn, a royal author with extensive knowledge of the royal family, has given us a tiny but crucial hint about what might occur in the future with Kate Middleton’s marriage.
In his book, he also makes the observation that Kate Middleton’s arrival came at a particularly trying moment for the royal family, forcing Prince William to seek protection from the Princess of Wales.
