Well .. thats sad.. kind've expected though
I wonder what she'll do now. I know that under the circumstances, she's avoiding the press by taking time off work, but I wonder when she'll start to get her life back on track and go back to work. She can't hide in her parents' house forever, but I guess it'll take time to adjust to getting back to normal. After all, everyone responds to break ups differently, but I really think that she need to find herself now, and emerse herself in concentrating on her friends and career and her life. So much for taking a job at Jigsaw, becuase they would never talk to the press...I guess everyone has their price. I wonder how much time she'll be allowed to take off work.
Frome the royalist.net:
According to one of Kate's colleagues at Jigsaw, the fashion company at which she is a buyer: "Around the middle of the day, she was pacing the car park outside the office on her mobile.
"A few people noticed because it's a pretty unusual thing to do. She'd deliberately gone outside to take the call because she didn't want to be overheard."
"Kate was walking up and down and looking upset as if she was having an argument. But she didn't cry. Word went round that it was William and they were having problems. Now it's clear what it was all about."
"When she came back to the office she didn't say a thing and disappeared for the rest of the day. She hasn't been back to work since. When someone asked where she was, they were told she was sick. Yet she hasn't been marked sick in the book."

^ She looks really happy in the recent ones?!? Or maybe she is just good at smiling...
Isn't it funny how her style has improved so much since being Wills girlfriend? I love her white top and jeans...

From the NY Post:
By MARIANNE GARVEY with LUKAS I. ALPERT and Wire Services
After the queen (above) reportedly compared Kate Middleton to Diana, William and Kate split.
April 16, 2007 -- Prince William abruptly ended his tabloid-titillating, five-year romance with cutie Kate Middleton after his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, reportedly warned him, "We don't want another Diana."
The notoriously prim-and-proper queen was tough on 24-year-old William in a closed-door meeting at a family gathering just over a week ago - warning him not to "rush down the aisle," so that the family might avoid a debacle similar to the ill-fated union of the prince's mother, Diana, and dad, Prince Charles, according to Britain's News of the World.
William's royal kin also didn't approve of the 25-year-old Middleton's decidedly middle-class "breeding," sources told the paper.
Offenses that apparently landed Middleton's mother, a former flight attendant, on the wrong side of the prince's family ranged from her once being caught snapping chewing gum at a royal event to saying "toilet" rather than lavatory, sources said.
Also at the private meeting was William's father, Charles, and grandfather Prince Philip, who reportedly told his grandson to make a decision now about Middleton because "you can't string her along forever."
An engagement between William and Middleton was rumored to be in the works in December, after the stylishly dressed beauty - who once famously quipped that the prince "is lucky to be going out with me" - appeared at the prince's "passing out," or graduation, from Sandhurst Academy.
Her presence during the ceremony revealed just how important she was in William's life.
But shortly after, when William left to begin his military training in rural England and Middleton remained in London, working as an accessories buyer for Jigsaw, the hot-blooded relationship began to cool.
The pair - who lived together in a house during college - began to see each other less than once a week.
Still, they appeared to be an item last month, smiling for the cameras while skiing in Switzerland.

i don't know. i'm not sure how much of that I believe. I'm sure breeding was an issue but i don't think dissing Diana to Wills would have made him rethink his relationship. Thats interesting though. Who would want to be a part of their family anyway these days? You can find wealthier folk elsewhere and quite frankly, the bad style most people would do without. I'm not keen on that weird lacey thing and again, the horrid boots.
I was thinking about it more now and i feel kind of bad for her. Perhaps all this terrible dressing and smiling for the paps she was just trying to appear royal as annoying as that may be to try and get in good with the royals. I get the impression that they think no one would be good enough for them unless she was a sister, which explains all their horsey inbreeding. Anyway Wills doesn't strike me as the type of stand up to his grandmother or his dad. Harry though.....

Prince William the party monster
Will's clubbing cited after split with gal pal

Prince William
Kate Middleton
LONDON - William just wants to play the field. Kate was fed up with his partying. The royal family was leery of another marital train wreck.
Theories abounded yesterday as to what caused Prince William and his girlfriend, Kate Middleton, to split after a five-year relationship that had been widely expected to end in marriage.
There was no comment from the royal palaces, but the breakup was important enough for Prime Minister Tony Blair to weigh in.
Blair told BBC TV that most of the "reams of stuff" being written about the couple would turn out to be "complete nonsense."
"They should be allowed to get on with their lives," he said.
William seemed to be doing just that yesterday, emerging from Mahiki, a London nightclub, at 3:30 a.m. while Middleton remained at her parents' home.
She reportedly had been angered by her boyfriend's recent preference for clubbing near his Army barracks in Dorset, southwestern England, rather than spending time with her in London, where she works as an accessories buyer.
It probably didn't help when a woozy-looking William, second in line to the British throne, was photographed groping a Brazilian beauty's breast during a recent night of clubbing.
William, 24, and Middleton, 25, met as students at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. News of their breakup emerged Saturday in The Sun, a British tabloid.
Yesterday the Mail on Sunday said William dumped Kate because the relationship wasn't fun anymore. The paper also said William's snooty friends mocked Middleton's middle-class background and would whisper "doors to manual" when she entered a room - a reference to her mother Carole's former career as a flight attendant.
The News of the World reported that William aired his doubts about the relationship at a secret family summit and his grandfather, Prince Philip, declared, "You can't string her along forever."
That was the same fatal piece of advice Philip gave William's dad, Prince Charles, when Charles was dating Lady Diana Spencer. Charles has said he interpreted this as a command to hurry up and get married.
Like the late Princess Diana, Middleton has become a favorite target of paparazzi. Packs of photographers stalked the elegant brunette as speculation rose that William would make her his princess. Queen Elizabeth was said to have approved of her grandson's girlfriend, but reportedly told William not to make a commitment if he wasn't ready.
William was just 11 years old when his own parents decided to separate formally after years of acrimoniously living apart. He also saw the marriages of two of his father's three siblings - Prince Andrew to Sarah Ferguson and Princess Anne to Mark Phillips - end in divorce.

Ladbrookes now have socialite Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe as 6-1 favorite to marry William. Apparently Kate hated her with a passion.

I was just going to say that! If she's heart broken than why is she smiling so much? She LOVES the attention. I wonder what she'll do when it stops....I'm so fed up with her boots! What about cute ballet flats? She's skinny and tall enough to pull that off.eurofashionjunki said:
Thank you eurofashionjunki for answering my question
CNN.com also cited "Snobbery" as one of the reasons for the break up. Mostly having to do with Kate's mom:
LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Snobbery is thriving in Britain -- if you believe the upper-class scorn poured on Kate Middleton's mother after Prince William broke up with his middle-class commoner sweetheart.
"This country is riven by the class system. It is more alive than it has ever been," the Daily Mirror's royal correspondent James Whitaker said after the separation was announced at the weekend. (Watch how the UK's press has reacted to Prince William's breakup
)"The problem was the mother. I don't think it was Kate. When she met the queen, Carole Middleton said 'Pleased to meet you' and asked where the toilet was," Whitaker told Reuters.
The genteel would normally say "How do you do?" and talk about going to the lavatory. But Mrs Middleton was said to have committed the ultimate faux pas when invited last December to attend William's graduation ceremony at the elite Sandhurst military academy.
"Nobody could believe it when she chewed gum throughout," Whitaker said. Britain was long renowned for having one of the world's most rigid class systems, but the age of deference has now passed and politicians vie with each other to promote the merits of a classless society.
William and Kate's split showed the other side of the coin. Britain's royalty-obsessed mass-circulation newspapers are awash with speculation about why they separated, and many have focused on Kate's mother -- a former airline stewardess.
Members of William's entourage were said to have complained that Kate was "too common," and to have quipped "doors to manual," airline pilot-style, whenever she appeared.
Bookmakers quickly joined the great debate. Ladbrokes promptly installed the upper-class socialite Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe as 6-1 favorite to marry William.
"A number of socialites will be dusting off their ball gowns and polishing their Pradas now that William is back on the market," Ladbrokes spokesman Nick Weinberg said.
George Bernard Shaw's fictional Professor Henry Higgins, the master of speech and manners who turned Eliza Doolittle into "My Fair Lady," always said you could tell an Englishman's social standing the moment he opened his mouth.
Over half a century ago, Nancy Mitford caused a sensation with her guide to "U," or upper-class, and "Non-U" by listing dozens of instant class indicators in the way people spoke.
Debrett's, the "toff's bible" that guides High Society through the minefield of etiquette, resolutely refused to be sucked into the debate.
"On this occasion, we prefer not to make any comment," a spokeswoman said.
But Daily Mail columnist A.N. Wilson condemned "the unpleasant mockery of Kate Middleton by William's braying friends."
"An extraordinary snobbery still exists around the royals," he complained, saying that Kate's mother "has got more class than these sneering snobs."
Royal biographer Penny Junor said she did not believe snobbery would have been a reason for William to give up Kate.
"I don't think the royal family themselves are that snobbish. But I think William's friends certainly are. His polo-playing set are pretty snobbish," she told Reuters.

I always said he would never marry her and I also said that there was no way William would marry a girl from a family that wasn't grand or titled. Nice to see I was proven right.
She's quite plain but has a nice athletic figure. She looks best in casual attire like the jeans and top she's wearing in those recent shots.
I don't get why anyone expects William to date a stunner when he is no looker himself.

I guess the British Royal Family are way more uptight about titles and breeding 
The Royal Family from Spain is doing quite fine with a princess that doesn't meet either of those requirements. Maybe they should learn something from them. Breeding or titles don't determine how you'll turn as a person 
They really should stop valueing people based on their names....but I guess "tradition" always comes first.

"I was just going to say that! If she's heart broken than why is she smiling so much? She LOVES the attention."
Umm maybe because she knows the press are all salivating for pics of her looking crap and crying her eyes out? What is the girl supposed to do - sit in the house and cry all day or get on with her life?
People ripped the poor girl apart when she was with Will and now she's not with him they are still doing it.
I can't imagine how horrible it would be to have your family so cruelly mocked and made fun of by your bf's family and friends - says a lot about Will's character.
With Will's luck he'll end up with some over privileged, snotty socialite whose only goal in life is to spend her Daddy's money and marry rich. At least Kate had a job. How many of the girl's in Will's set actually work? I bet most are supported through family trust funds and their parents.
I think Kate is better off out of the royal family - ever increasingly they show themselves to be out of touch with the people they supposedly rule. As someone who was born & raised in the UK I can safely say I would gladly see the monarchy abolished.
