Catherine’s Heartbreak: Prince William Finally Reacts To STOP ‘Embarrassing Secret’ From Leaking
This year has been particularly challenging for Princess Catherine as she’s faced a health scare that required her to take some time off from her royal duties. Both she and her husband have never experienced a challenging situation like this for their tight-knit family before. While it’s been a very emotional roller coaster, a source close to Prince William mentioned that the future king has gone into protection mode, trying to shield his children as their mother’s health is discussed in the media and among the public.
It’s understood that the Princess of Wales, who was widely known as Kate during her younger years, made it known just prior to her and William’s wedding that she would henceforth prefer to be called Catherine. While friends and family reportedly heeded the request, the “Kate” moniker had broadly stuck by the time she made the change, and so she’s still often called it by members of the public and mainstream media outlets. But according to the latest news, William took offense to his estranged brother’s refusal to call his wife Catherine, even when they were sending her get-well-soon messages. Another friend of the Princess added that it was Harry’s lack of courtesy which further strained the already fractured relationship between the brothers. The apparent reluctance on the Sussexes’ part to call her by her preferred name, “Princess of Wales,” was seen as an entirely unnecessary and deliberate irritation. This may have contributed to the Waleses’ refusal to respond to Harry and Meghan’s expressions of sympathy after Catherine’s cancer diagnosis.
During this time, Prince William has stepped up remarkably, providing emotional and practical support to ensure the family’s well-being. Meanwhile, Catherine has noticed the change, and she is genuinely touched by all that he’s doing, not just for her but for the children. After more than 13 years of marriage, the Prince and Princess of Wales are stronger together than ever.
However, there was a time when William had kept a major secret from his wife, and it was huge. In the revealing new book by author Robert Jobson, it was disclosed that there was a significant moment at a dinner party attended by friends of William and Catherine, including his ex, Carly Massie-Birch. The ex, perhaps unwittingly, exposed the couple during a boozy game of “Never Have I Ever” with the claim, “I’ve never dated two people in this room,” knowing full well that William was the only one who had, because Catherine was sitting next to him. Everyone at the dinner was in shock, and this much was apparent in the Prince’s expression, as he shot a thunderous look at his ex, reportedly whispering under his breath, “I can’t believe you just said that.”
Despite his initial frustration, William was able to move past the incident, and the couple remained friends with Carly. She was even invited to their wedding at Westminster Abbey in 2011. During their engagement interview in 2010, the pair shared details of a romantic Kenyan holiday during which William proposed with his late mother, Princess Diana’s engagement ring. William then revealed that he had secretly been carrying the ring, made by the royal jeweler Garrard, in a backpack for a whopping three weeks before popping the question. He joked, “I knew if the thing disappeared, I’d be in a whole lot of trouble.”
According to Jobson, Catherine once considered rejecting the title of William’s late mother. He writes that she was aware of the inevitable comparison to Diana, whose untimely death had provoked immense grief and anger. The constant scrutiny was a source of stress for Catherine. However, William responded that there was no pressure to replace his mother, emphasizing that his wife would contribute her own unique presence and help shape their future together.
We firmly believe that we should always show our love for Diana, Princess of Wales, to ensure that she is never forgotten. We invite you to join us in paying tribute to Diana in the comment section by sharing your favorite memories of her as we remember her special moments with love, faith, and hope. Princess Diana never got to see her children marry or have children, but she would have been very proud of William’s handling of everything in the past year. His relationship with his brother Harry upset him more than he would care to admit, but he found it easier to cut ties rather than allow himself to be continually annoyed.
