Kate Middleton was left in "floods of tears" following a tense phone call with Prince William, according to reports. The couple, who were not yet married at the time, had to spend some holidays apart due to royal tradition.On one occasion, William cancelled their plans at the last minute, leaving Kate distraught and fearing for their relationship.
