We hope Kate Middleton's parents call her “princess,” because no one else is going to.

Prince William, 24, has split from Middleton, 25, his girlfriend of almost five years.

Throne watchers had speculated that the two would get engaged soon. What kept the two from living happily ever after?

Speculation is raging all over England about it. Theories range from the boring (the relationship just petered out) to the downright creepy (tension about Middleton’s “middle-class upbringing” led to mafia-style meeting of the royal family in which they determined that Middleton was the “wrong girl” and ordered the prince to dump her).

Others say that the relationship suffered after the prince moved to an army camp in far-away Dorset, leaving Middleton back in London, according to BBC.

Then there were the girls. According to The Mail, Middleton got her knickers in a twist over tabloid photos of a drunken prince partying with army buddies and women in a nightclub.

Prime Minister Tony Blair even added his two cents about the split. During an appearance on Britain's The Politics Show he said, "In respect of Prince William, they're a young couple...They should be left alone now without reams of stuff being written that I can assure you, from my experience of royal stories—most of which will be complete nonsense. So I think now it's been announced they should just be allowed to get on with their lives."

This breakup is likely to leave Prince William with a stunning number of rebound opportunities. We can’t even imagine how many young girls will line up to try on that glass slipper.
