The pair broke up for several months back in 2007, their second relationship break after a “trial separation” in 2004. Kate had been expecting an engagement announcement in February of that year and was devastated when it never came, according to a 2007 Daily Mail article. Meanwhile, William was photographed dancing with other girls in a London nightclub.
According to biographer Andrew Morton, the couple decided to end their relationship due to William’s “refusal to commit”.
However, a friend reportedly said that Kate did not give up and as things went downhill she was still planning to marry the prince.
They told the Daily Mail in 2007: “Kate did everything she could to make him stay – playing a waiting game one minute and then hard-to-get the next.
“Just the other week, she said she intended to be photographed at as many places as she could without William to punish him for all those pictures that appeared of him clubbing with other girls.
