Kate Middleton ‘humiliated’ and ‘treated like doormat’ by Prince William on night out
The Princess of Wales said she felt “humiliated” and complained that Prince William was treating her “like a doormat” while hanging out with other girls at clubs. This was when they took a break from their relationship, reports the Mirror.
The couple, who are now the parents of three children, inspired the whole nation with their love story since meeting at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. But like any other couple, they also went through some ups and downs.
They reportedly went through a break-up in 2004 and then again in 2007. Their second split was said to have left Catherine “desperately upset”.
Speaking at the time, friends of Kate claimed harsh words were exchanged by the pair as a result and Kate felt that William was “cheapening her image” with his antics. One of Kate’s friends told the publication that Kate warned William about his behaviour and it was the first time in four years she had ever spoken to him that way.
One of her friends explained: “Kate told William that he was making her look bad. She has coped for years with girls flinging themselves at her boyfriend and for a while, she found it humorous and even flattering.
“But after his recent behaviour she gave him an ultimatum and told him that over the time he behaved like that in public, he was cheapening her image as well as his own. She told him she wasn’t prepared to be treated like a doormat and that his carefree behaviour was affecting her image. In the past, she had always let go of things like that, but this really bothered her.”
