Rumors are flying that Kate Middleton, who is once again the current girlfriend of Prince William, has quit her job as an accessories buyer for the fashion chain, Jigsaw, because the couple may announce a royal engagement, while others say that Kate recently told close friends that she quit her job at the fashion chain because she simply wants to have some time to herself. 

Insiders speculate that Middleton may have been offered a position selling yachts from an office next to Clarence House, which is where Prince William’s London base is located, while others say the staff at Jigsaw headquarters have been told her job is being kept open for her – should she wish to return. 

Sources reveal that some have expressed displeasure that Kate appears to be so obviously preparing herself to become a princess. Her decision to walk out on the role specially created for her by Jigsaw’s owners, seems to have raised eyebrows among some, given that she was required to work only four days a week to accommodate the royal schedule of her Prince. Jigsaw owners John and Belle Robinson had created the position within the company specifically for Middleton less than a year ago. 

Middleton and Prince William separated in April, but the couple quietly rekindled their romance and were pictured together last month for the first time since their split.
