A new report claims that Kate Middleton carried an “awful” burden about her relationship with Prince William.
The now Duke and Duchess of Cambridge famously called time on their relationship in 2007.

Reports at the time suggest William felt “claustrophobic” in their relationship.
However a royal expert claims that there is another reason the pair called it quits.
Hello Magazine correspondent Judy Wade says the mother-of-three “might have realised the awful burden she would have taken on” after marrying Will.
She continued: “It’s a life sentence marrying a royal.”
William and Kate met at St Andrew’s University in 2001 where they both studied art history. And the pair began as friends before becoming romantically involved in 2003 when they started dating.
After their brief split, the royal couple managed to patch things up after a few months apart.
Their break seemed to be just what the Prince needed to see what he was missing, and he proposed to Kate in 2010, with the couple marrying in 2011.
