The end?

Clarence House has not commented on the split.

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

The Sun: “The couple had seen each other no more than once a week since the prince moved to bovington camp in Dorset. They have reached an “amicable agreement” to part“.
