 | | Prince William & Kate Middleton Break Up | | |  | Prince William has split from his girlfriend Kate Middleton.
The breakup was "amicable," a friend of the couple tells PEOPLE magazine.
The prince, 24, and Middleton, 25, have been dating for nearly five years, after meeting at St. Andrews University in Scotland.
British newspapers devoted page after page on Sunday to speculation over why Prince William's romance with Kate Middleton ended, with one saying Queen Elizabeth had told him "we don't want another Diana".
A spokesman at the prince's office at Clarence House says they will not be commenting. "We don't comment on Prince William's private life," the rep says. Britain's The Sun newspaper first reported Saturday that the pair had reached an "amicable agreement" to separate.
Friends of William, who first met Middleton in 2001 while at university in Scotland and began dating her in 2003, rubbished suggestions there had been any family summit or that his grandparents had told him to end the romance.
Middleton, the eldest child of middle-class entrepreneurs who had won plaudits for her dress sense and poise, was widely tipped to be Britain's next Queen.

I wonder if the Queen really had anything to do with thier break-up? He'll be the most eligible bachelor since JFK Jr., he's such a cutie. It'll be very interesting to see who he hooks up with, "if" he doesn't have someone in mind already-
