Friends of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge said how the two kept in touch after the break-up, and that lead them to reconciliation. The time they spent apart just helped them realize how madly they are in love with each other. Kate shared, “At the time I wasn’t very happy about it, but it actually made me a stronger person. You find out things about yourself that maybe you hadn’t realized. I think you can get quite consumed by a relationship when you are younger, and I really valued that time for me as well although I didn’t think it at the time.”
