Prince William is really affected by the rumors claiming he cheated on his wife Kate Middleton.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have remained mum about Prince William’s alleged infidelity. Several sources claimed that Middleton’s husband was romantically involved with their friend Rose Hanbury.

According to Milly Haddrick of New Idea, the false reports have been circulating for the past few months. Prince William and Middleton have kept a low profile and stayed away from their usual social circle. Prince Harry’s brother is really affected since he has been drinking more than usual and seems to be having an early midlife crisis.

“William is feeling a bit sorry for himself at the moment and it’s all getting a bit on top of him. He is under a lot of stress and you can see it is affecting him,” a royal insider told the publication.

“He has always liked a drink but we’ve noticed he’s been putting it away a bit.”

The same insider insisted that Prince William and Middleton were all friends in the ‘Turnip Toffs’ neighbors. In fact, their children played with other kids in the neighborhood. However, the duke lost some of his best pals overnight due to the rumors.

Despite the speculations, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge continue to put on a united front. According to the source, “The truth is they are very happy and have a strong marriage and nothing and no one will ever break their bond.”

Another source revealed the same thing to InTouch magazine. According to the insider, Prince William and Middleton are not separating. When Middleton learned about the alleged affair, she confronted her husband who just laughed it off because it was not true.

However, the same insider added that the rumors rocked the palace and Prince William’s marriage to Middleton. As a result, the royal took on legal actions to end the false reports.

The couple worked with the Harbottle and Lewis law firm to address the issue. At least one publication reportedly received a legal warning for publishing details of the rumored affair which was “false and highly damaging.”

In related news, Prince William and Middleton’s zodiac signs suggest that they are better business partners than lovers because they are very opposite. However, if the two can work things out, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge can achieve more things together than individually.
