Kate Middleton is reportedly on the verge of breaking apart as she struggles to live the royal life due to a personal crisis. Latest reports claim the Duchess of Cambridge's family is falling apart, citing her feud with sister Pippa and dealing with her mother Carole's alleged drinking problem.
According to the reports, Kate and Pippa Middleton have hit a rough patch when the royals meddled in her failed relationship with Swiss banker Nico Jackson. Pippa is also disappointed at her sister as she struggles to reach her desired status.
"Pippa's has been struggling to find her niche," a source said, as per Inquisitr. "Her party planning book, 'Celebrate,' flopped, and she has been unable to sell a follow-up exercise and diet book to a publisher. She attempted to land a position as a correspondent on NBC's 'Today' show, but she reportedly failed to impress during the audition."
Due to Pippa's failed attempts, the Middletons are allegedly blaming Kate for not taking an active role in assisting her sister to launch her career. The report also claimed that the 33-year-old Duchess failed to promote Pippa thus, her sister's endeavors did not flourish.
Moreover, Kate Middleton's sister is also struggling to find love while living in England. Men are reportedly "turned off" by British media firestorm caused by her affiliation with the royals. So, Pippa is considering to move to the United States in order for her to launch a successful career out of the royals' shadows and the constant media circus.
"At 32 [Pippa] finds herself without an established career and without a property of her own," an insider said. "Worst of all she constantly wonders if she'll ever escape the shadow of her elder sister, whose young family is never out of the news."
Kate Middleton, however, is not happy with her sister's decision to move to the U.S., citing that Prince William's wife has actually showed remorse at the struggles of her sister regarding her career and love life. An insider even relayed that Kate admitted that her sister can't have a proper relationship because of her.
Aside from a family crisis, Kate Middleton is also in the middle of a power struggle with Camilla Parker-Bowles. According to Celeb Dirty Laundry, Kate fears that the Duchess of Cornwall is trying to secure an ally through manipulating Prince Harry's love life.
As rumors about Queen Elizabeth II's retirement kept on surfacing, speculations about her desire to hand the throne to Prince William also persist. And though royal insiders insist that the 89-year-old Queen won't skip Prince Charles in favor of William, Camilla Parker-Bowles is taking measures to secure her position and power no matter what happens.
Since Kate Middleton has the people's favor, the Duchess of Cornwall is trying to find an ally with Prince Harry and his choice in a bride.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton's pregnancy rumors have resurfaced again. As per the latest claims, the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William are expecting their third child. International Business Times even noted that the royal couple are expecting twins.
"To say she was shocked would be an understatement. She's suffering more from exhaustion than anything else," a source, as Hollywood Life quoted. "She hasn't had much of an appetite or diet, so she's hardly gained any weight. Kate is very good at putting on a brace face, but everyone just wants to make sure she's taking care of herself."
In other news, the royal couple will be meeting with Facebook and Twitter bosses to discuss cyberbullying, Vanity Fair revealed.
With everything that Kate Middleton is going through, it seems that she's really paying a high price for living a royal life.
