According to Royal-watching website, Royal Anecdotes, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s surprisingly amicable split in April may have been taken to give themselves some breathing space from the media. A reconciliation may only be a matter of time. If so, this could be turning into one of the great romances.

It seems the couple intend to spend a holiday together at William’s Tea Pot Cottage on the Balmoral estate in August. The Prince is also due to accompany Kate to her cousin’s wedding on July 21. A friend says, “Kate and William will be going to the event together. The plan for the day was agreed before they split up and William is determined he will still go with Kate. He wants to honour that commitment. … [They] still speak all the time and are on very good terms.”

A relationship psychologist is reported as saying, “There is no doubt that William and Kate were extremely close for a long time and you don’t turn something like that off like a dripping tap. Kate has not let any upset show since her split. If she wants him back, she is going about it perfectly.”

The couple met at university and spent nearly five years together. The split-up came as a surprise to many as an engagement and summer wedding seemed to be on the cards towards the end of last year.
