Kate Middleton and Prince William met at university, and the future Duchess of Cambridge took on the role of royal girlfriend years before she finally officially joined the family
When Kate Middleton met the handsome Prince William in her university halls her life changed forever.
Due to a privacy agreement with the media, Wills was able to enjoy an almost normal university life – especially once the excitement of having a royal classmate calmed down.
This meant the early days of his relationship with Kate were mostly out of the spotlight – but as soon as they both donned their graduation caps it was a very different story.
Kate had a lot to learn, and she needed to do it quickly as she took on the role of royal girlfriend.
Even though she wouldn’t put that sapphire engagement ring on her finger for years, the world was still fascinated by the woman who could one day be our Queen.
