Prince William & Kate Middleton: A Royal Split

Prince William and girlfriend Kate Middleton have called it quits after nearly five years together.

The couple had reached an “amicable agreement” to separate, UK’s The Sun newspaper reported Saturday.

The split is said to have been caused by Prince William‘s career in the army and pressures by the media (there was much speculation about wedding plans).

Prince William, 24, and Kate, 25, last appeared together on the horse tracks at Cheltenham Festival on March 13.

The weekend before that, the couple hit the slopes in Switzerland for a ski trip together.

So ladies, Prince William is single again!!!!!!
