Summary
- Prince William and Kate Middleton met at university and became close friends.
- Their romance began developing after over a year of friendship.
- They married in 2011 and now have three children together.
The enduring love story of the Prince and Princess of Wales started with a friendship at St Andrews University, where they met in 2001. Prince William recalled becoming friends with Catherine (née Middleton) for over a year before their relationship began to develop. They shared a "good giggle" and discovered mutual interests, forming a strong foundation.
Initially, William felt shy upon meeting Kate, but he quickly recognized something special about her, desiring to explore a deeper connection. After a brief separation during their university years, which Kate described as making her a stronger person, they reconciled. This period allowed them both to grow and find themselves.
