According to online magazine Japan FM, Mr Morton said: “In April, much to Kate’s distress, William ended their relationship.
“It was a storm that had been brewing for a long time, resulting from his reluctance to commit and the feeling that his friends noted he could do better.”

The friend said: “He thought he could do better, but realized very quickly what he had given up.

They added: “After the breakup, he achieved what he really wanted in life. A child from a broken house finds love, affection and warmth and a stable family.”

But since becoming the Duchess of Cambridge in 2011, Kate has been a prominent figure beside Prince William in Royal Family outings.
During the lockdown, Kate moved most of her activities online and joined forces with other members of the Royal Family to help boost the morale of the UK and the Commonwealth.
