‘They are co-parenting!’: Viral video of Prince William with George and Charlotte sparks separation rumours

Prince William and Kate Middleton have long been the 'IT' couple of the British royal family. Ever since King Charles' remarriage and Harry and Megan's exit, the two have held the royal household together with their almost devoted performance of royal duties. However, it seems there is some trouble in the royal paradise. A video going viral on X has the internet convinced that William and Kate actually live in separate households and have been co-parenting their three children and two pets all along. A video posted by an X account, @ZandiSussex shows Prince George and Princess Charlotte exiting from a helicopter with small overnight bags, while William also nears it, takes one bag and then accompanies his children to the car. The family's two dogs can be seen playing around in the snow all along. "At least the coparenting appears to be going well.🤔Here are Charlotte & George captured arriving by helicopter at Kensington Palace with their overnight bags. It’s been obvious for a while that Willy & Kate are separated & the kids shuttle between their parents’ homes," said the caption of the video that has amassed a whopping 2.4M views on the social media platform.The viral video has netizens convinced that the royal couple has been living separate lives while holding the appearances of all is well in front of the media and at royal events and functions. People couldn't help but believe the long-held rumours that William and Kate are actually separated. "With pets n all!! Looks like they have nailed the routine down," wrote one X user. "Damn! The kids really look like they’re going to “daddy’s house.” And again, no one would give a shit about this had the Toxic British Press not project separation onto Harry & Meg. What’s on the cards now, asparagus lady?" questioned one. "Now, there is zero doubt in my mind why they moved into a super secluded home with a massive security perimeter. They are separated. Wow. It’s their own fans that outed them. lol," added another. "It appears that they are moving the kids back and forth between residences and parents. And no, William is "not supposed" to be living at Kensington still, but I doubt that is true. I suspect his London residence is Kensington still, along with his working office, and his weekend home is Adelaide, while Kate has been farmed out to Forest Lodge. Clearly, Louis is having none of it.... (always likes that kid... he reminds me of Harry in a way)," one wrote.While the video does feature the royals, its actual context remains unclear. Earlier this year, a Kensington Palace spokesperson confirmed that Kate Middleton, Prince William and their three children would be moving to Forest Lodge. While they might have moved houses, the speculations have remained. In April 2025, William hired his late mother Princess Diana's divorce lawyers. Another January 2025 article by The News, reported that the two would be going on different ways. Now, the netizens are speculating if such royal news will be arriving soon in 2026.
