What to Know
Just as a fresh round of divorce rumors about Kate Middleton and Prince William has emerged, so has a video from one of their past public appearances that seems to be even more relevant now than ever.
In the resurfaced clip, Kate seems to be recoiling from her husband when he reaches out to touch her, which isn’t exactly a sign of a happy couple, and now, it’s leading more people to believe that their marriage is doomed.
The original footage was taken in 2019.
In Public She Kept Up The Fake Smiley Banter But Her Instinct Was To Reject His Touch…

This clip that was shared on a royals-focused subreddit comes from Will and Kate’s 2019 appearance on Mary Berry’s holiday special, A Very Berry Christmas. it shows Will and Kate sitting side by side in front of a fireplace and chatting, but when William reaches out to put his hand on his wife’s shoulder, it looks like she’s shrugging him off so he can’t touch her.
At the time, multiple outlets including Page Six reported that people were very skeptical about what this might mean for the couple’s relationship, and now that the video is coming back around again, there seems to be a similar reaction happening here.
People are saying that William is morphing into his father as he gets older.
On Reddit, more than one royal watcher pointed out that William seems to be giving off some major King Charles vibes, which is surprising after seeing the way his late mother, Princess Diana, was treated during their marriage.
“He doesn’t think mistreating her the way he does is wrong,” one commenter wrote. “Willy follows the draconian Windsor attitude that women who marry in should just put up and shut up. To be grateful they’re in the fold. He was embarrassed of Diana for causing a scene and I’m sure he’s drilled into Kate to never dare follow suit.”
With zero filter, another person added, “He’s ugly, lazy, and likely cheats constantly… basically he’s his dad all over again. No sane woman would want that skeletor looking creep groping them.”
The divorce rumors have been alive and well in recent weeks.
The resurgence of split rumors involving Will and Kate really ramped up last week, when footage of Princess Charlotte and Prince George arriving at Kensington Palace with overnight bags made it seem like the couple might be living separately. Could this be our first glimpse of them coparenting in action?
Will and Kate have already made public appearances together since then, and nothing seemed amiss about it. But then again, these are the royals we’re talking about — if there’s a secret they want to hide, they’ll make sure it’s hidden.
