Prince William and Kate Middleton Split

Prince William has split from his girlfriend Kate Middleton, BBC News reports.

The couple had been under intense media pressure since they met at St Andrews University, Fife, in 2001.

The prince's move to an army camp in Dorset, with Miss Middleton continuing her life in London, is also said to have put a strain on the relationship.

Clarence House has not commented on the split. There had been speculation about a possible engagement in recent months.

BBC royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell said: "It's a surprise, because it had seemed very stable and very steady."

He said he thought the prince's move to Bovington Camp in Dorset had "a lot to do with the final stages" of the break-up.

The Sun reported that the couple had seen each other no more than once a week since then.

"One must suspect, though I don't know that this is absolutely certain, that it is more his decision than hers," said Nicholas Witchell.

"He has said in the past that he is too young to get married.

"But I am led to believe that there is no-one else involved and that it is a decision they have come to mutually."

Duncan Larcombe, the Sun's royal correspondent, told BBC Five Live: "The last person on earth who's going to be pressured by newspaper columnists and television chat shows to get married is Prince William."

The Sun said the pair had reached an "amicable agreement" to part.
