What did they do when they weren’t together?
When Prince William and Kate Middleton broke up, she traveled to Ireland with her mother. And Prince William was partying and going out in clubs with various half-naked models. The public didn’t know yet that they weren’t together, but they assumed it because of Prince William’s behavior. Once he jumped on the table in a club and started dancing while he was shouting that he is free. Then it was clear for everyone that the couple isn’t together anymore.
Was it hard for them?
We can assume that it was hard for both of them, but maybe a little harder for Kate Middleton. During the time of their break up, Kate joined an all-female boat racing team, Sisterhood. But she also started going out to clubs and bars, just like William.
Prince William was performing his royal duties, and he was going out too with his friends. But eventually, the two got back together. Maybe it helped them that both of them were jealous because they were both going out and flirting with other people.
