Royal expert and biographer Katie Nicholl said that while William was deliberating on how to proceed, he consulted with both his father and grandmother.
As for Queen Elizabeth herself, while she was said to be disappointed by the end of her grandson’s relationship with Kate, both she and Charles had reportedly urged him to not rush into anything. While it wasn’t her decision to make, the Queen didn’t want him rushing into a commitment he wasn’t absolutely sure he wanted to make, a palace insider added.
