In his new royal biography, ‘Catherine, the Princess of Wales,’ Rob Jobson unveils several startling revelations about the Royal Family, offering insights into the personal lives and challenges faced by some of its most prominent members. Among the revelations is the disclosure that Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has dealt with significant health issues. The book reveals that, as a teenager, Kate underwent emergency surgery to remove a lump from her head. Jobson writes, “As a teenager at Marlborough College, Kate discovered a lump on the left side of her head, just under her hairline,” adding, “The school notified her parents immediately, and her mother, Carole, took her to the hospital where doctors performed surgery to remove the lump.”
The book also details a tense altercation between Prince William and Meghan Markle. According to Jobson, the confrontation escalated to the point where Meghan Markle told Prince William, “Keep your finger out of my face.” The conflict, as reported by OK Magazine, stemmed from a disagreement between Meghan Markle and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, during Catherine’s pregnancy with Prince Louis. Markle attributed Catherine’s behavior to “baby brain,” leading to Catherine’s response that they were not close enough for Meghan to comment on “her hormones.”
Jobson’s book further reveals that Catherine initially hesitated to accept the title of Princess of Wales following her marriage to Prince William. She was concerned about facing “stressful” comparisons with her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, who had also held the title. Jobson writes, “She knew she’d inevitably be compared with Diana, whose untimely death had provoked such a tsunami of anger and grief. And she was right,” as reported by the Daily Mail.
The biography also reveals a pivotal moment in the relationship between Prince William and Kate Middleton. In January 2007, just before Kate turned 25, William, who was in military service at the time, ended their relationship over the phone. This breakup occurred during a difficult period for their romance, amidst the media’s anticipation of a royal engagement.
In an excerpt published by the Daily Mail, Jobson details the phone call in which William proposed a breakup. Jobson writes that William suggested they needed “a bit of space” to “find our own way” and could not promise marriage. During their emotionally charged 30-minute conversation, both acknowledged they were on “different pages.”
