After William's jokes, Kate Middleton's relation got worse.

Kate was furious after viewing images of William dancing on a pedestal and attracting women.

After allegations of William hugging an unknown woman on a London boys' night out, the images were leaked.

Kate confronted William about his behaviour, telling him that it was affecting both her and his image.

Girls flirting with William had been amusing and flattering to Kate, but she could no longer tolerate his casual behaviour.

According to a family friend, Kate previously dismissed reports but recently snapped.

Despite these difficulties, Kate and William eventually reconciled and married in 2011.
