WILLIAM & KATE ON THE ROCKS!

Talking divorce as Charles fights to save marriage & the monarchy

DESPITE a surprise public appearance shopping with Prince William, ailing Princess Kate is  secretly arranging her exit from royal life — and her marriage, dish well-placed sources.

The mother of three is said to be reeling after her husband was caught in a new cheating scandal while she struggled to recover from grueling abdominal surgery, which had forced her into months of seclusion.

“William and Kate appear to be at a dangerous crossroads in their marriage, and the palace is desperate to keep it under wraps,” a senior courtier tells The National ENQUIRER. “With King Charles battling deadly cancer, the royals can’t handle another major crisis!”

Kate, 42, has long been seen as a key to saving the crumbling monarchy, which has been rocked by illness,  scandal and assaults by renegade royals Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan.

“I’m told the king has ordered William to pull out all the stops to keep Kate by his side,” says the courtier. “Even Queen Camilla, who has no love lost for Kate, is urging her not to make a hasty decision she’ll regret.”

The buzz around the palace is Kate is already planning to hire big shot attorney Anthony Julius, who handled Princess Diana’s divorce from thenPrince Charles 30 years ago! And insiders predict she’ll be seeking a much bigger payout than what Diana got.

“William will have to dig deep and hand over a king’s ransom of around $100 million,” says the courtier.
