A new documentary has revealed how an angry Prince William stepped in to defend Kate Middleton after she was “harassed” on her birthday.
The incident occurred in 2007 when rumours were swirling that William was set to propose to Kate. The hoards of paparazzi parked outside the now Duchess of Cambridge’s Chelsea home angered William and lead him to release a statement.
The narrator said: “An angry Prince William issued a statement to the press, to stop harassing his girlfriend.
“Both he and Kate eventually moved to a remote corner of Wales.”
A spokesman for the Prince said at the time: “Prince William is very unhappy at the paparazzi harassment of his girlfriend.
“He wants, more than anything, for it to stop.
“Miss Middleton should, like any other private individual, be able to go about her everyday business without this kind of intrusion.
“The situation is proving unbearable for all those concerned.”
