The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge appear to be the picture-perfect couple, yet information has surfaced detailing the time when the couple split for a short period of time.
The pair met in 2001 but after five years of dating, according to the book The Duchess of Cambridge: How Kate Middleton Became A Future Queen, the prince started to feel ‘claustrophobic’ and headed off on a boy’s holiday with pal Guy Pelly.
Kate began to feel ‘miserable’ after she found out that Guy had organised an all-female crew for the sailing trip, so she went to her parent’s house in Berkshire to unwind.
“She got quite drunk on white wine and really let her guard down,” they said. “She was debating whether or not she should text or call him.

“She said how sad she was and how much she was missing William but never mentioned it after that.”
In 2010, Prince William detailed why they had split. “We were both very young,” he said during an interview with ITV.
“It was at university, we were sort of both finding ourselves as such and being different characters and stuff, it was very much trying to find our own way and we were growing up.”

“I think I … at the time wasn’t very happy about it, but actually it made me a stronger person,” Kate said.
“You find out things about yourself that maybe you hadn’t realised, or I think you can get quite consumed by a relationship when you are younger and I really valued that time for me as well although I didn’t think it at the time. Looking back on it,” she added.
