Prince William and ex-girlfriend Kate Middleton have reportedly met up twice this week in an effort to stay friends following their split last month.

According to the People newspaper, the pair met at a friend’s house in London then for a meal at a pub near Prince Charles’ home in Highgrove, Gloucestershire.

A source told the newspaper: “It is too early to talk of a reconciliation. But William is determined not to simply abandon Kate. And she acknowledges they have a history that would be a shame to cast aside.”

“[They] agreed over a bottle of wine that they remained very important in each other’s lives. They are still enormously fond of each other.”
