Kate Middleton was troubled by the amount of media attention she was receiving in the early days of her romance with Prince William.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, who eventually tied the knot in 2011, felt that excessive media involvement would jeopardize their relationship.
Writing in his book, William & Catherine: The Monarchy’s New Era: The Inside Story, royal expert Russell Myers shared: “Having grown up in the glare of the media his entire life, William clearly knew what was going to be on the horizon. For Catherine, however, this was entirely new territory.”
Myers added: “William had done his best to explain to her how the media operated, but now that she was the subject of his investigation, things felt incredibly different.”
Myers continued: “She was terrified by the attention.” He added, “No matter how much you’re told about what can happen, you can’t have any idea about it until you’re on the other side, and now she was just on the other side.”
“William and Catherine found themselves at the center of a media storm,” Myers reported.
