At the same time as I understand why there are yawns to this thread, I can also understand why it's major news. If you boil it down you're looking at a boy dumping a girl which happens thousands of times a day. But he's not just a boy, he's the future king, and anyone who he's seeing could be the future queen. It's bound to generate interest.
For what it's worth I wish they'd just leave him alone a bt. Imagine having that kind of pressure for a relationship to succeed at such a young age!!
