Royal insiders have been speculating that Kate Middleton and Prince William could allegedly be fighting and having serious marital problems lately.
According to sources, Kate Middleton has purportedly been ditching a few royal events these past few days, and people are starting to notice that the Duchess' absence from Prince William's side is becoming more and more frequent, sparking rumors that they may be fighting.
"After missing a series of public appearances, weddings, and even a christening, royal circles are whispering about the Duchess of Cambridge after Kate skips another event," Celeb Dirty Laundry wrote.
"To make the situation even more eyebrow raising, she sent Pippa Middleton in her place to watch over Prince William. Something is definitely wrong with the Duchess and the Duke!"
According to reports, Kate Middleton didn't come with Prince William to the wedding of estate agent Bear Maclean and socialite Daisy Dickson at All Saints Church in Thurlestone, South Devon, last weekend.
Pippa Middleton came with the prince instead, further escalating rumors that the younger Middleton came to the rescue amid her older sister and brother-in-law's fighting.
"No one knows why," a source reportedly told Daily Mail. "Everyone was talking about it over breakfast the next morning."
"They stayed on the next day and night, too, attending lunch in the marquee together. The plan was for everyone to go and do a river estuary swim afterwards."
The website went on to recount that before they were married, Kate Middleton mostly never failed to miss royal events with Prince William. But now that they've been married for four years, it seems that Kate has better things to do than mingle with her husband's circle of royals and elites.
"Prior to missing this weekend's wedding, Kate had been absent from her husband's side at least four weddings," Daily Mail reported.
"She also missed the christening of Zara Phillips's daughter Mia, despite being seen shopping in Norfolk three days beforehand."
Is the pressure of Prince William's new job and having two kids, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, testing Prince William and Duchess Catherine's relationship? Are their fights have become too serious that they can't even be together for a few hours to ensure the royal circle that everything is good between the two of them? Only time will tell.
