PRINCE William has broken up with his long-time girlfriend, Kate Middleton, reports in Britain say.
Friends of the second-in-line to the throne confirmed that a story in a British tabloid yesterday was correct, but an official spokesman would only say, "We do not discuss his private life."
The newspaper said the couple, who met while studying at St Andrews University in Scotland, had reached "an amicable agreement" to end their relationship.
The romance by the eldest son of the late Princess Diana had been conducted under the full glare of media publicity with paparazzi constantly hounding Ms Middleton outside her London flat. The young couple — he is 24 and she 25 — were seen hugging and kissing during a skiing holiday in Switzerland only last month.
William is pursuing his career as an army officer. His younger brother, Prince Harry, also graduated from Sandhurst military academy and is due to join frontline troops in Iraq next month. The newspaper said the couple's relationship had been strained since William graduated from Sandhurst last December. A "close friend" told the paper: "As far as Kate is concerned, William simply hasn't been paying her enough attention. She is stuck in London while he is living in an officer's mess. Kate feels hugely frustrated that their relationship just seems to be going backwards at a rate of knots."
