Kate Middleton gave Prince William these strict orders following her fall out with best friend

Kate Middleton will be keeping her distance from Rose Hanbury moving forward.

The long-term best friend of the royal seems to be no longer in Kate's inner circle after reports that the pair had a "massive falling out". Rose and her husband, David Rocksavage, were often photographed on double dates with Kate and William throughout the years. But the Marchioness of Cholmondeley and the Duchess of Cambridge won't be rocking up to any soirees side by side in the coming months. Speaking to The Sun, a royal insider said:

“It is well known that Kate and Rose have had a terrible falling out. They used to be close but that is not the case any more. “William wants to play peacemaker so the two couples can remain friends, given they live so close to each other and share many mutual friends."

But the insider revealed that Kate isn't here to make amends and gave William strict orders to "phase" the couple out of their lives.

“But Kate has been clear that she doesn’t want to see them anymore and wants William to phase them out, despite their social status.”

Ouch. Both couple's kids are also known to have had many playdates given the fact they're close in age. David and Rose even attended the royal's wedding eight years ago with Rose dubbed the best-dressed guest - showing the duration of their friendship. Only time will tell what'll happen between these two, I guess.
