According to a close friend of the couple, speaking to The Times, Prince William initially had reservations about Kate publicly sharing their personal struggles. However, he eventually accepted and supported her decision after engaging in discussions on the matter.
According to the buddy, "He joined all the conversations around it and gave her full support and advise when she did it. He wants her to not have to do this on all fronts. He did, however, wholeheartedly support her decision, which was her own."
Kate's decision to make the announcement without Prince William by her side led to speculations about the state of their marriage. However, a royal source claimed that Kate chose to address the nation as a strong woman, and she didn't require someone beside her during the announcement.
