Before getting married in 2011, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge broke up for a few months in 2007, and it has been revealed that the break-up happened over the phone.

Speaking to the Mirror, a former colleague of Kate’s said on the day of the break-up, Kate was seen pacing up and down the parking lot outside of their office, talking to her then-boyfriend, William.

“Around the middle of the day, she was pacing the car park outside the office on her mobile. A few people noticed because it’s a pretty unusual thing to do. She had deliberately gone outside to take the call because she didn’t want to be overheard,” said the colleague.

She said Kate looked very upset while on the call, and when the call was over, Kate returned to the office and disappeared for the rest of the day, not saying anything to anyone.

“When she came back to the office she didn’t say a thing and disappeared for the rest of the day – she hasn’t been back to work since…we didn’t think anything about it at that time, but looking back, the call was definitely a girlfriend-boyfriend tiff,” she said.

Days after the incident, it was made public that William and Kate had broken up.

Kate Middleton, the Queen and Princess Diana’s ‘unusual’ food habits revealed

Garlic is one of the most essential ingredients when it comes to cooking almost any meal. The royal family, however, would probably beg to disagree as they do not eat garlic.

The Queen is said to not like the taste, and during Camilla’s appearance on Masterchef Australia, she mentioned that “you always have to lay off the garlic”.

Elizabeth has also been on a low-carb diet for the majority of her life, and does not eat starches when she is dining alone. It has also been revealed that Her Majesty enjoys her bananas with a fork and knife.
