According to former Sunday Express royal correspondent, Camilla Tominey, Prince William had confided in his grandmother about his uncertainty regarding his love for Kate Middleton.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge first met at the University of St Andrews almost two decades ago.
Although they now stand strong together, their journey was not without its challenges.
During their time at university, the couple experienced a split, which was reported at the time.
However, this was not the only bump in their relationship.
They faced another split in 2007, capturing the attention of the entire country.
Prince William expressed his doubts and feelings of claustrophobia to Queen Elizabeth during this period.
Despite the temporary separation lasting only two months, the Queen remained unconvinced and decided to have a serious conversation with Prince William.
Her main concern was ensuring harmony within the family.
Therefore, she presented him with an ultimatum, urging him to make a definitive choice.
Queen Elizabeth wanted Prince William to make the right decision for himself and his future.
She believed that it was better for them to break up now, rather than enter into a marriage that might end in divorce within five years.
Miss Tominey explained that the Queen emphasized the importance of knowing one’s true feelings after being together for such a significant amount of time.
Prince Philip, the Queen’s beloved husband, also weighed in on the matter.
He advised Prince William against stringing along Kate forever, urging him to make a decision.
It didn’t take long for Prince William to act upon this advice.
Exactly a year after the Queen’s ultimatum, in 2010, Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton during a trip to Kenya.
