Prince William has split from his girlfriend Kate Middleton. The breakup was “amicable,” according to a friend of the couple.
A spokesman at the prince’s office at Clarence House says they will not be commenting. “We don’t comment on Prince William’s private life,” the rep says.
The pair are said to have grown increasingly independent of each other since their university days. William is currently taking an armored corps commander course in Dorset, around 125 miles west of London, and it has kept him from Middleton and her new life in London.
Middleton, who is an accessories buyer for the British fashion chain Jigsaw, also was having difficulties with the media pressure that came with being his long-term girlfriend.
