William Reveals Reason for 2007 Split With Kate

Royal photographer Arthur Edwards revealed that Prince William broke up with Kate Middleton in 2007 because "I wanted to be sure" the marriage would last forever. During a recent podcast interview, Edwards recalled meeting Catherine after their engagement announcement and asking William why he had ended their relationship five years prior. When pressed for his reason, William responded directly about seeking certainty before committing. The photographer noted that this perspective may have been influenced by watching King Charles III and Princess Diana's marriage fall apart in the 1990s.
