Prince William Fumes as Kate Dragged into Royal Family Feud
The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, is reportedly furious over how his wife, Kate Middleton, has been dragged into the ongoing feud within the royal family.
The couple recently joined other members of the monarchy to mark Remembrance Sunday.
They attended the Festival of Remembrance, a yearly musical tribute to Britain's fallen soldiers, at London's Royal Albert Hall.
Other members of the inner circle of the firm, including Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, were also in attendance.
The following day, William and Kate were present at the Senatuff in Whitehall to honor the UK's war dead.
Kate appeared on a balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, standing in the Queen's Place after the monarch was unable to attend due to a sprained back.

However, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who currently reside in California, were not in attendance.
It remains unclear when or if the pair might return home, with Harry's last meeting with his family in July of this year.
The couple's decision to relinquish their royal duties and move to North America last year in what was dubbed Megxit caused a momentous fallout from the royal family.
While royal commentators have struggled to pinpoint a single event which forced the pair's hands, many have claimed that a series of episodes snowballed and led to the departure.
One of these was the supposed feud between Meghan and Kate, which was later rubbished.
During Channel 5's documentary, William and Harry, Princes at War?, earlier this year, royal author Katie Nicholl claimed that William was infuriated that Kate's name had been involved in the reports.
She stated that William was quoted saying, “Really, for Kate to be dragged into the story at that stage, infuriated William.
He was very, very cross that Kate, who had up until then been very much peripheral in this fraternal rift, had been pulled in.
There is never smoke without fire.
How true these stories are, possibly you take some of them with a big pinch of salt.
I certainly had been told by very reliable sources that the girls weren't the best of friends, weren't as close as perhaps they might have been.
But actually the real issue wasn't between Meghan and Kate, it was between William and Harry.”
The rift between the two brothers has been widely reported, with their frosty relationship reportedly sparked by William's concerns over Harry's fast-developing relationship with Meghan Markle ahead of their royal wedding in 2018.
The tense row quickly boiled over, with Harry claiming his brother was trapped within the royal system during a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey after quitting as a senior royal.
Several months on, royal biographer Robert Lacey, who penned the book Battle of Brothers, William, Harry and the inside story of a family in tumult, says their current relationship is poor, definitely poor.
Last month, William hosted a party to thank those who helped in erecting a statue of Princess Diana, which was unveiled at Kensington Palace in the summer, but Harry did not attend.
Lacey told Page Six, “I've spoken to two people from that party and it was quite clear from things he said that his anger towards Harry remains.
He remains unhappy about what his brother has done.
There is no immediate possibility of any reconciliation.
I mean, it's not wanted on either side.
Too many bitter things have been said.”
In Harry and William, What Went Wrong?, a new documentary presented by The Passionate Eye, we get an insider look at the building tension between the two brothers who were once the best of friends, and the breakdown in their relationship that led Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, to leave the royal family.
When they were younger, the two princes were hailed as the future of the royal family.
But in Harry and Meghan's recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, it became clear that their bond had broken, and a rift between the princes seems to have been growing for years.
Now, that rift has become a chasm between them.
In conclusion, the ongoing feud within the royal family has taken a new turn, with Prince William reportedly furious over how Kate Middleton has been dragged into the fray.
The supposed feud between Meghan and Kate was later rubbished, with the real issue being between William and Harry.
