Kate Middleton, Prince William: Royal expert reacts to rumours of rift in couple's marriage

A royal expert has apparently rejected rumours of rift in Kate Middleton and Prince William’s relationship amid claims the royal couple plan to spend a "quiet Christmas together" in a bid to "heal" their marriage.

The Radar Online, citing royal insiders, had claimed,"This Christmas is going to be a much-needed time for them to heal their marriage. They just want a quiet time together and a drama-free 2025, and they’re praying the family get healthier."

Previously, the publication had also revealed that the couple’s marriage had been rocked once again by cheating rumors.

The rumours of William and Rose Hanbury alleged affair first started spreading in 2019 – and came back with a vengeance earlier this year when Kate's mysterious absence from the public eye led to wild speculation about their relationship.

Now, amid these claims royal expert Roya Nikkhah told Fox News Digital that the future king and queen are "still very into each other" after weathering a turbulent year.

The royal expert continued, "When you see them on engagements, they’re obviously still very into each other.

"One’s always looking out for the other. Recently, when they were in Southport together, you could see that… she was a bit more vulnerable. I think they’ve got each other’s backs."
