Kate Middleton was seemingly her usual graceful self during her brief split from her now-husband, Prince William, in 2007. As reported by RadarOnline, the princess attended a social event shortly after news of their separation became public. During the gathering, she was approached by socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, who gently inquired how she was coping.
Initially, Middleton replied, “It’s fine.” When Tara pressed further, saying, “It must be so hard,” the now-royal member calmly repeated, “Really, it’s fine,” effectively ending the discussion. The exchange, according to sources, demonstrated her trademark composure and self-control. One insider described her demeanor that evening as having an “ice queen” persona with the backbone of a future queen.
A source told RadarOnline that her body language made it clear she had no intention of discussing William or their relationship in public. “[Middleton] didn’t want to go there or gossip about William,” the source said, adding that she “moved the conversation on almost instantly.”
At the time, Middleton was often perceived as a “fun, carefree girlfriend.” However, those who observed her during that period recognized another side — a woman who was “self-possessed” and unwilling to be drawn into conversations she wasn’t comfortable with.
The brief 2007 split, which occurred while Prince William was serving as an army officer, was widely reported. The couple reconciled a few months later and went on to marry in 2011 at Westminster Abbey, marking the beginning of their life together as senior members of the British royal family.
