Kate Middleton ‘humiliated’ and ‘treated like doormat’ by Prince William on night out

The Princess of Wales said she felt “humiliated” and complained that Prince William was treating her “like a doormat” while hanging out with other girls at clubs when they took a break from their relationship.

The couple, who are now the parents of three children, inspired the whole nation with their love story since meeting at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. But like any other couple, they also went through some ups and downs, breaking up a few times before tying the knot.

They reportedly went through a break-up in 2004 and then again in 2007 – and their second split was said to have left Catherine “desperately upset”. When asked about the split during their engagement interview, William simply said they had to “find their own way” and “grow up”, but did not give away any further details about it.

However, the Mail on Sunday’s royal correspondent Katie Nicholl in 2007 claimed that they went their separate ways as William felt the “fun” had disappeared from their relationship. The report went on to claim that Kate was left “humiliated” and in turn after Prince William was spotted out and about at various London nightclubs with different girls following their split.

Speaking at the time, friends of Kate claimed harsh words were exchanged by the pair as a result and Kate felt that William was “cheapening her image” with his antics. One of Kate’s friends told the publication that Kate warned William about his behaviour and it was the first time in four years she had ever spoken to him that way.
