Kate Middleton and Prince William faced marriage trouble due to her parents' $3.2M debt, insiders say

LONDON, UK: In a recent revelation, it has come to light that Kate Middleton and Prince William faced significant challenges in their relationship in the months preceding Middleton's abdominal surgery, as reported by RadarOnline.

This was apparently due to the financial troubles plaguing Middleton's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton.

Financial strain and family tensions emerge for Kate Middleton and Prince William

A bombshell report detailed the Middletons' struggle with debt amounting to a staggering $3.2 million. The couple was reportedly forced to sell their party supplies firm due to their financial woes, exacerbated by cost-of-living increases and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"King Charles was outraged this financial and public relations disaster is leaving egg on the monarchy's face since Kate is the future queen," alleged one insider back in November 2023.

Meanwhile, "William embraced his wife's family as his own and looks like a fool," said one palace insider to The Globe while one company exec told the publication they also felt "betrayed."

The enormity of the Middletons' debt is staggering, with over $3.2 million owed across various creditors. This includes substantial sums owed to RBH bank, unsecured loans, outstanding payments to other creditors, and a considerable tax bill. Reports indicate that the Middletons' financial mismanagement, compounded by lavish spending following Middleton's marriage into the royal family, has exacerbated their predicament.

The Middleton family's business endeavors, once a source of unity and pride, have now become emblematic of their financial downfall. Carole Middleton reminisced about the family's collective efforts in building their party supplies business, highlighting the individual contributions of her children, Pippa and James, as well as Kate herself. However, the collapse of their business has not only brought financial ruin but has also strained Middleton's relationship with her husband, Prince William.

An insider said the Middletons would certainly not be "begging with tin cups, but their financial failure likely means all talk of them receiving a royal title just went out the window."

These financial tribulations unfolded against the backdrop of Kate Middleton's abdominal surgery in January 2024, prompting speculation about her health and well-being. Despite weathering not one but two Photoshop scandals, the Palace has maintained that Middleton is recuperating well and is expected to resume her royal duties following Easter.

Meanwhile, the reports detailing financial troubles within the Middleton family have ignited discussions online, with reactions ranging from indifference to skepticism.

One user wrote, "Who cares? The world has bigger issues to worry about than the Middleton's who mean nothing to people in the US, lol."

Another said, "Yeah according to the yacht skank. No one wants to hear her lies."

Internet abuzz with speculation over allegedly doctored photo of Kate Middleton

Besides, speculation and concern over the whereabouts and well-being of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, have surged on the internet following claims that a recent photo of her with Prince William may have been digitally altered.

The photo in question depicts Kate Middleton inside a car alongside her husband, Prince William. Despite her face not being visible, it is assumed that she was present in the vehicle. This image has sparked widespread discussion and skepticism among online users, particularly regarding its authenticity and potential manipulation.

Numerous individuals online have scrutinized the photo, pointing out discrepancies between the interior of the car and its surroundings. One Twitter user, identified as X, highlighted inconsistencies in the appearance of bricks visible through the car windows, suggesting possible photo manipulation.
