Kate Middleton was said to have started smoking as a way to deal with the end of her relationship with Prince William.

After the Prince and Princess of Wales broke up in 2007, the royal is said to have started smoking as a way to cope with the pain.

This was clear when the Duchess of Cambridge was seen out with her sister Pippa Middleton and a pack of cigarettes was sticking out of her bag.

Photos from the outing show Kate sitting in a car with her purse open, showing a blue box of cigarettes.

According to DailyMail, at the time Kate had decided to get rid of her “good girl” image. This was because she was very careful about how she behaved in public because she would eventually become a royal because she was married to Prince William.

When she went out, it had only been a week since the news came out that she and Prince William were no longer together.

When they broke up, she had been with the Prince of Wales for five years.
