The Prince and Princess of Wales have been married for over ten years, but their relationship could have ended in its early years after their split. Find out how their love story began and metamorphosed into a strong union.

Prince William and his beautiful wife, Kate Middleton, are one of the world’s most famous couples. The Prince and Princess of Wales have the most fascinating love story with some twists and turns.

They survived a breakup in the early years of their relationship and have maintained a solid union ever since. Find out everything to know about their unique relationship.

William and Kate’s romance began at St. Andrew’s University in Scotland, where they were students. At the time, the whole world knew who William was, and his admission to the University was greeted with fanfare. However, no one knew about Kate.

However, William eventually knew who she was. He often ran into her in the halls or on the way to class and found out she was also studying art history.

That semester, they gradually built a friendship. They ate breakfast together with their friends in the dining hall and bonded over their shared love for skiing. Also, Kate shared notes with William whenever he missed classes.

While there was nothing romantic between the pair in the first semester, sparks flew in their second semester. After walking down the runway of a charity fashion show in a see-through dress, Kate caught everyone’s attention, showing off her stunning figure.

Later, it was revealed that the duchess’s sheer dress was actually meant to be a skirt, but she yanked it up and wore it as a dress, revealing her lingerie and figure.

Kate also caught William’s attention in her ensemble. While watching her walk down the runway, William whispered to their mutual friend, Fergus Boyd, “Wow, Fergus, Kate’s hot!”

The following year, William, Kate, and two of their friends moved into an apartment off-campus. Initially, they were just friends, as William failed to impress Kate.

He tried cooking her fancy dinners but only messed things up, with Kate eventually stepping in to take charge. In the months that followed, a romance blossomed between them.

In no time, the whole of St. Andrews knew about the relationship, and rumors spread to the entire world, with reporters doing all they could to learn more about Kate and her family.

As a result of her romance, Kate was brought into the spotlight. However, their relationship hit the rocks by 2007 as they spent less time with each other. Contributing factors included William joining the Household Calvary in Windsor while Kate got busy with work.

William’s military service and Kate’s work schedule made them spend less time with each other, which led to cracks in their relationship; rumors were that he was not faithful enough. For instance, multiple tabloids showed pictures of him partying and having a good time with different women several times.

One of these girls was Isabella Anstruther-Goughcalthorpe, whom he was rumored to have a crush on. Anstruther-Goughcalthorpe was later speculated to be the reason behind William and Kate’s eventual brief split.

William was also involved with Kenyan Jecca Craig, with rumors saying the prince might have proposed to her. There was also Arabella Musgrave, whom William dated before University, and Zara Simmonds, whom he reportedly dated before Kate.

Other women said to have been involved with William include Holly Branson, Alexandra Knatchbull, Davina Duckworth-Chad, Lady Rosanagh Innes-Ker (who was tipped as his potential bride), Rosie Ruck Keene, and Tess Shepherd.

William was caught dancing with Shepherd at a nightclub, after which they shared a kiss. It was also reported that he met Lisa Agar and Ana Ferreira at a boozy night out and was pictured having a good time with them.

The women said William acted like he was single the whole time and claimed nothing happened between them. Agar also expressed surprise when she heard about William and Kate’s breakup, as he did not seem like someone at the end of a relationship.

With the whole world now aware of William and Kate’s relationship, many expected to hear news about their engagement. Instead, they found out about their split.

In a report, a British tabloid disclosed details of the couple’s breakup in 2004. It was reported that William and Kate initially had a heart-to-heart discussion during the Easter weekend, where they admitted that their relationship was on the rocks.

William reportedly told Kate he was frustrated about not concentrating fully on his new life as a young officer and not feeling free to enjoy himself.

Knowing he faced increasing commitments due to his more senior role in the Royal Family, William believed his two years in the Army could be his last chance to have fun.

Kate also told him she felt abandoned because of his long hours in the Army and did not want him to treat her like a doormat. She also asked William to assure her about their future following his activities with Shepherd, Agar, and Ferreira, on those series of night outs.

Kate left the meeting hoping for a reconciliation but was disappointed days after when she received a phone call while in her office.

A colleague of hers at work, who saw her when she answered the call, said it was clear it was William who called. The colleague narrated how Kate paced nervously around a car park as she and William decided their relationship was over.

The colleague said Kate came to work, got the phone call, and went out of the office to answer it so no one would hear her, which was an unusual action for her. Also, she looked disappointed while talking and seemed to have a tantrum with her boyfriend.

Later, William and Kate confirmed that they really split when they were at University. In an interview with Sky News, William said they were both very young and trying to find themselves when they broke up. Kate added:

“At the time, I wasn’t very happy about it, but actually, it made me a stronger person. You find out things about yourself that maybe you hadn’t realized.”

William and Kate’s split lasted for only about ten weeks. William reportedly found it difficult to date other women, as several of them turned him down.

Eventually, he and Kate found their way back to each other and reconciled. They were often seen together on different occasions afterward, including sharing a kiss at an Army party in Dorset.

Not long after their many public appearances, it was confirmed that the couple was back on. Due to their commitments, they were regularly apart but were increasingly embedded in each other’s lives.

The couple eventually started living together, and William proposed to Kate with his late mom, Princess Diana’s ring at the foothills of Mount Kenya in October 2010. They announced their engagement to the world on November 16, 2010.

The couple tied the knot in a beautiful royal wedding on April 29, 2011, in what was a magical affair anticipated by millions worldwide. During the event, Kate stunned in a Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress.

Burton, Alexander McQueen’s creative director, created an ivory satin and lace wedding dress for Kate and had to go above and beyond to keep her role in the nuptials a secret. Her creation was a white v-neck long-sleeved gown that complemented Kate’s figure well while emphasizing her grace and elegance.

“It has been the experience of a lifetime to work with Catherine Middleton to create her wedding dress, and I have enjoyed every moment of it,” Burton said.

The embroiderers who hand-made Kate’s down echoed the same sentiments and enjoyed the process and outcome of the gown. “It makes it worth all the years of training as an embroiderer,” Jenny Adin-Christie revealed.

Burton designed a second wedding dress for Kate’s wedding, which the royal wore during her reception. The silk gown had a free-flowing skirt and a silver belt-like design that made it look simple yet elegant. Kate completed the outfit with a fluffy bolero jacket covering her shoulders and arms.

William and Kate Middleton later became parents to three beautiful children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Not long after becoming parents of two, William praised his wife for being a wonderful mother.

Theirs has been a beautiful love story that has played out before the world. Together, they have made and will undoubtedly continue to make beautiful memories.
