As we reported back in January of this year, the media crush around normal girl about London, Kate Middleton, had reached a crescendo.

William expressed fears that Kate would suffer a mishap with the media dogging her every move.

Then, a few months later, the romance cooled as Wills was snapped with his hand on a girl's breast, and other allegations surfaced that the young royal was playing the field again.

Wills called for a break, and Kate backed off and resumed her normal life.

Now, the rumors are flying in British newspapers that it may be a classic case of "you don't miss your water, 'til your well runs dry."

Wills is said to be missing his Kate.

What I wrote back in January: If you are old enough to remember the "fairytale" that was Charles and Diana, their courtship, and pomp and circumstance filled nuptials that dominated the news in 1981, crowds upward of 600,000 people filled the streets of London to catch a glimpse of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer on their wedding day.

Americans and Canadians stopped all work and were glued to the television, and the British got a holiday to enjoy the festivities.

Charles and Diana were married in beautiful St Paul's Cathedral before an invited congregation of 3,500, and an estimated television audience of 750 million worldwide, making it the most popular program ever broadcast. It was a breathtaking ceremony, and even the most anti-royal types were mesmerized by the spectacle of the British Monarch's steeped in tradition ceremony.  No one does it like the English.

"A picture of Kate pointing at a camera and clearly saying 'sod off' is clearly worth more on world magazine markets than one of her walking sedately down a street," senior Times photographer Chris Harris said, reported the Herald Sun back in January.

Now, with rumors that the two may be reunited as a couple - the spotlight is once again on the girl who caught Wills eye years ago.

Kate Middleton's romance with Prince William broke up back in April, but according to the News of the World, Wills just may want Kate back.

Unnamed source told the News that William has been dining with Kate, again. 

Earlier this month, News reported Kate and Wills "locked lips" at his Army barracks' party, allegedly "retiring" to William's private quarters.

As we said back then, the story is far from over.
