Rumours that they were together again after a 12-week separation began during the 'Concert For Diana', where Middleton sat just two rows behind her former lover with her sister and parents in the royal box.

Later that night, photos were taken of the pair hitting the dance floor. The source tells British newspaper The Sun: 'Only when they took a step back did they have space to examine how they really felt about each other. They have now talked through their problems and are closer than ever.'

William's spokesperson has declined to confirm the report, saying, 'It is not something we are going to comment on at all, I am afraid.'
