Kate Middleton and Prince William are indeed one of the most followed royals in the world. As a matter of fact, they are often making headlines and now latest reports claim about a looming royal divorce after the Duchess of Cambridge was apparently caught having a "flirt fest" with British sailor Ben Ainslie during the America's Cup last month.
Oh no! Is Kate Middleton's fairytale romance with Prince William coming to an end? Well, rumors have it that the 34-year-old Duchess has been "flirting merrily" with 39-year-old competitive sailing Olympian Ben Ainslie even though the Duke of Cambridge was also present at the event.
"Kate is like a giddy schoolgirl around Ben... She totally adores him," an insider told Star magazine (via International Business Times). "[The Duchess of Cambridge] toyed with her hair and batted her eyelashes, while her husband stood by, looking a bit like a third wheel. Kate was all aglow and couldn't wipe the smile off her face."
The tabloid also added that Kate Middleton and Ben Ainslie's romantic tryst didn't start at the America's Cup in Plymouth, England on Jul. 24. In fact, Ainslie first caught Duchess Kate's attention during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London when he won a gold medal.
The rumors, however, was immediately debunked by Gossip Cop. According to the celebrity news site, the latest tabloid report about Kate Middleton and Ben Ainslie was completely fabricated and "rubbish," stressing that there was never a "flirt fest" occurred.
Gossip Cop also added that even though Kate Middleton has a penchant for sailing, the Duchess has a greater love for husband Prince William. Ben Ainslie, on the other hand, has been happily married to wife Georgie Thompson, who recently gave birth to their first child, Bellatrix, The Telegraph reported.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton, Prince William and Prince Harry were reportedly skipping the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. But that didn't stop the British royals to star in a 90-second video released by the Kensington Palace to express their excitement and to wish the British team good luck, Daily Mirror noted.
Unfortunately, the video ignited a new wave of criticisms toward Kate Middleton. The reason? Celeb Dirty Laundry claimed the Duchess of Cambridge has mispronounced the word "British" as "Bret-is."
Aside from Kate Middleton's mispronunciation, Celeb Dirty Laundry also reported that the Duchess was furious with Prince William's cousin, Princess Beatrice. Based on the report, Princess Beatrice was reportedly "maneuvering to upstage" Kate's sister Pippa's upcoming wedding by accepting the marriage proposal of her longtime boyfriend Dave Clark.
