The five year relationship of one of Britain's favorite royal couples came to an end this weekend as Prince William and Kate Middleton made a mutual decision to part ways. Although there has been no confirmed reason for the split, signs of infidelity are not said to be the source of the couples problems. Instead, British media is reporting that the couple's primary issues resulted from too much pressure on Kate from the royal family as well as Prince William's dedication to his career in the army. Regardless of the reasons, the two have officially split and have confirmed that they are going their separate ways.

The shock of the royal split has sent British media into a frenzy. Numerous news sources are adamant about finding the root cause of the separation and do not believe that 'growing apart' is the reason for the breakup. According to the Daily Mirror, Prince William broke up with Middleton over the phone after getting approval from his father, Prince Charles. The source claims that Prince Charles told William that it was unfair to lead Kate on if he had no plans of ever marrying her.

The couple was said to have parted on good terms. The long-time friendship of the couple may be in jeopardy as many people think that Kate will take a break from the public eye and pursue a normal career in business where she and her family can avoid the scrutiny from the paparazzi. Hopefully everything will turn out well for both Prince William and Kate.
