Prince William and college sweetheart Kate Middleton certainly made a nice looking couple, but have now split.

Moving on is going to be tough for her, she will always be known as the Prince’s former girlfriend and, judging by the huge smile she always had, they enjoyed a fabulous romance – up until recently.

I don’t think the paparazzi hounded her particularly badly, except on her birthday, and I don’t believe media intrusion was the reason for their break up, though it might have difficult for her on occasions. But this is now the time she is going to need her privacy more than ever, let’s hope she gets it.

Btw, I wonder if Woolworths can recycle unwanted crockery, or will the commemorative plates of a royal wedding that never took place become future collectors’ items?
