Remember a few months ago when Prince William<\/a> hired divorce lawyers<\/a> and everyone was worried that meant he was, you know, getting a divorce? But then, at the time, the move was merely spun as him trying to break away from his father by hiring new representation, and since he and Kate seemed to be doing well, everyone accepted it. Well, new reports are now surfacing about a different time when the two split, which puts that rumored troubled time in their marriage into perspective.<\/p>\n

Back in 2007, Prince William and Kate Middleton<\/a> famously split and then got back together. And on Valentine\u2019s Day 2008, William was determined to show Middleton<\/a> that he was serious about their relationship. At least that\u2019s what Grant Harrold, King Charles III\u2019s former butler, says in his memoir, The Royal Butler: My Remarkable Life in Royal Service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they got back together, it was fresh, it was like a double boost,\u201d Harrold wrote. \u201cThey both were making more of an effort. \u2026 [They had] this romantic dinner for Valentine\u2019s Day, which they asked me to do, which they had never done before. They hadn\u2019t done anything like that before. Suddenly, they wanted to do that. I felt that [William] was saying, \u2018Look, I\u2019m serious. This is going to up a level.\u2019 That\u2019s what I felt.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd, of course, a few years after that, they carried on,\u201d Harrold added, \u201cIt was almost like a reset button, but this was serious. The first time around, it was boyfriend-girlfriend, \u2018Oh, let\u2019s eat here, let\u2019s chill here, let\u2019s do that.\u2019 Suddenly, it was a bit more, \u2018I\u2019m serious, and I\u2019m going to show you I\u2019m serious.\u2019 That\u2019s how it came across, which was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

The Royal Butler: My Remarkable Life in Royal Service<\/p>\n

The butler recalled how he had offered a formal dinner for the couple ever since they went public in 2004, but they always laughed it off. But when Valentine\u2019s Day 2008 approached, William suddenly said, \u201cOK, let\u2019s do a dinner, if you\u2019re happy to.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt truly honored and delighted that William had taken me up on my offer,\u201d Harrold wrote. \u201cEven though it was a typically chilly February evening, we planned for it to be outside the main house, at the top of the Thyme Walk, the stunning avenue of clipped golden yew and herb bushes bound on two sides by a pleached hornbeam hedge that leads down to the lily pond at the bottom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harrold worked for the King\u2019s household from 2004 to 2011. \u201cI left after they got married, so at least I got to actually see that part of their lives,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd it was a good time also to have left because they left Highgrove. My role would [not have] been looking after them anymore, and I loved looking after them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prince William<\/a> and Kate Middleton<\/a> weren\u2019t broken up for long in 2007, and after they reconciled, the relationship got stronger, and eventually the two went on to marry in 2011 and now have three kids together. And though they have had to contend with plenty of divorce rumors since then, as happens to many couples in the spotlight, it seems like they are stronger than they\u2019ve ever been.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Remember a few months ago when Prince William hired divorce lawyers and everyone was worried that meant he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":458192,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7714,7713,533,2832,532,2831,7710,519,7711,7712],"class_list":{"0":"post-458191","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-catherine","10":"tag-catherine-middleton","11":"tag-kate-middleton","12":"tag-prince-of-wales","13":"tag-prince-william","14":"tag-princess-of-wales","15":"tag-royal-families","16":"tag-royal-family","17":"tag-uk-royal-family","18":"tag-william"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115282681966755920","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/458191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=458191"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/458191\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/458192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=458191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=458191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=458191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
