It has been announced that Prince William and his girlfriend Kate Middleton have parted ways.

The couple decided "mutually" to split, and separated amicably with no one else involved, an unnamed source said to the Sun Online.

William and Kate have been together for several years.

The Sun newspaper reports: "As far as Kate is concerned, William simply hasn't been paying her enough attention.

"She is stuck in London while he is living in an officer's mess in Dorset. Kate feels hugely frustrated that their relationship just seems to be going backwards at a rate of knots."

William became an Army officer last December and started his commander training in Camp Bovington, Dorset, on March 16.

Kate filed a complaint of harassment to the Press Complaints Commission over an image that appeared of her in the Daily Mirror. She settled the legal matter after an apology.

A spokesman for the Prince said: "We don't comment on Prince William's private life."

The Prince is now considered the world's most eligible bachelor.
