Prince William, Kate Middleton Divorce Rumors: What are the Chances of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Separating Legally?

The cheating rumors looming over Prince William and Kate Middleton has died down although the specter of it still hangs in the air. For the sake of discussion, let’s say that the rumor is true, could the cheating result in divorce within the royal family yet again?

Not if Queen Elizabeth has anything to say about it, Sunday Express (via Express) reported. Queen Elizabeth issued a warning to Prince William in 2006, saying that he should be sure about Kate Middleton before deciding to tie the knot.

The warning is rooted in the fact that there are already high-profile divorce cases that have plagued the royal family in the past, the most prominent of which is between Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Queen Elizabeth is supposedly tired of royal couples separating as she saw firsthand the kind of damage it causes. Prince William and Kate Middleton adding to that pile will simply not do.

Queen Elizabeth issuing a warning to Prince William is also due to the rather shaky relationship he had with Kate Middleton. Although the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are on a solid place right now, their romance was flickering on and off in the past, and the pair went through a breakup years prior. And despite the breakup lasting only for a few months, it was enough to remind Queen Elizabeth of what the future might hold.

Thus, the warning. For his part, it appears that Prince William has no intention of going through a divorce with Kate Middleton either, which brings us to the authenticity of the alleged infidelity. Since the rumor began, there has been no substantial evidence supporting this claim, with gossip tabloids hiding behind a supposed “source,” a common practice for those peddling a false narrative.

There’s also the fact that Prince William loved Princess Diana greatly. Cheating on Kate Middleton would tarnish her memory as his mother also went through a particularly messy separation.
