Kate Middleton book launch called off amid mystery

London, May 17 (ANI): The launch of an unauthorised biography of Prince William's famous girlfriend Kate Middleton has been called off amid much speculation.

Claudia Joseph, the author of Kate Middleton: Princess in Waiting, was set to release the book at Raffles, a Chelsea nightclub but the event was abandoned without a clear explanation.

"I received a call from Raffles on the morning of the party to tell me that there had been a burst water pipe," The Telegraph quoted Claudia as saying.

"They said it would have to take place at JuJu, a bar across the road. I was very disappointed as I have been a member of Raffles for many years and have held other events there.

"I have my suspicions as to why it was cancelled," she added.

It was said that the writer had received several letters from the 27-year-old's legal team while working on the book, and Kate's friends were also allegedly asked to stay mum. (ANI)
