A source close to Middleton said that she fears she cannot live up to the standards of the royal family.
"She and Wills love each other dearly but Kate has just woken up to what the next few years could have in store," News of the World quoted the source, as saying.
"She is suddenly realizing the enormity of what could lie ahead if she walks down the aisle with William.
"It's one thing having an on-off relationship with Wills, it's quite another thing becoming Queen."
Another source said that the 25-year-old has seen how the royal family turned its back on Princess Diana, though the latter came from an aristocratic background.
"Kate is concerned that those before her who have married into the royal family have come from an aristocratic background and are from old money," the source said.
"She has seen how the royal family washed their hands with Diana-and the princess had a privileged background and came from the right breeding. "
"Even Sarah Ferguson's dad was an army man through and through and was part of the polo set. Kate is just from a very normal middle-class family who have done exceptionally well for themselves. They don't live on a huge estate or have titles before their names."
In the middle of 2007, Prince William and Middleton rekindled their romance, just six weeks after they called it quits in April.
However, they are still keeping a discreet distance from each other.
"They were keeping a discreet distance from each other. By no means were they walking round hand in hand," the source said.
The pair don't want their lives turning into a circus and the less they are seen out together, the less pressure is put on them," the source added.
Recently, the two took headed for Seychelles in different flights.
Since their holiday, the prince has resumed his duties with the army, while Middleton has continued her work as a fashion buyer at Jigsaw.
