Prince William forced to save relationship after Princess Kate's ultimatum

Prince William forced to save relationship after Princess Kate's ultimatum Princess Kate's shocking 'ultimatum' forced the future monarch to take a decisive step to save his relationship in an unexpected way. The royal family's future could have been changed forever if the monarch did not intervene amid William and Kate's upsetting stand. Kate sent shockwaves with her warning to William before their breakup in 2027, leading to an unprecedented intervention from Queen Elizabeth II. In his biography, "William and Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story," Russell Myers explores in detail the pivotal year when William and Kate's relationship nearly came to an end. Prior to their split after four years together, Kate shocked the Prince, telling him to commit to their future, or she would walk away. In a passage serialised in the new book, Russell writes: "Catherine delivered an ultimatum to William. While she did not explicitly demand an engagement or even a promise of marriage, she did break free from the gentle and arguably submissive persona that had typified her relationship with the future king." However, it was William's grandmother, who made a game-changing intervention to bring them back together. The late monarch convinced the future king to rekindle the relationship and gave Kate advice on joining the royal family, the book reveals for the first time. The Queen even invited him to Sunday lunch to judge his mood. William was more than just crestfallen and worried about whether he was throwing away the one constant in his life. He was, according to one well-placed source, 'completely broken'," claimed the author. "'In that moment, the Queen advised her grandson that the only certain path is the one supported by faith. It was all she had to say, they said.'" The Queen's advice proved crucial and, three years after getting back together, Prince William and Kate tied the knot at Westminster Abbey in 2011. The couple reconciled in the summer of 2007, just months after their split. Now they are parents of their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis. The late Queen did not want the split to happen, as she had already witnessed the damage caused by the breakdown of the relationship between Charles and Diana, then the Prince and Princess of Wales.
