Prince William and Kate Middleton\u2019s love story began at St Andrews University, where they started as friends before falling in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But according to their former friend Laura Warshauer, Kate once pretended to be William\u2019s girlfriend \u2014 even though they weren\u2019t dating yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At a birthday party, a girl was chatting with William, and he seemed unsure how to escape the awkward conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then Kate stepped in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe just walks across the room and puts her arms around him,\u201d Laura recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
William immediately told the girl, \u201cOh, I\u2019m sorry, I have a girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then he turned to Kate and said, \u201cThank you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two had only recently met and were still friends, but their chemistry was already obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their relationship later blossomed, and in 2002, they moved into an apartment together with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
William had reportedly spent around \u00a3200 on a front-row seat at a charity fashion show where Kate wore the famous see-through dress. That moment has often been remembered as a turning point in their romance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it wasn\u2019t always smooth sailing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When their relationship became public in 2004, William was reportedly furious after paparazzi photographed them together during a skiing holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He had wanted to protect Kate from the intense media attention that came with being his girlfriend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The couple briefly split in 2007, but they found their way back to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2010, William proposed to Kate during a trip to Kenya, using his late mother Princess Diana\u2019s engagement ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following year, they married at Westminster Abbey in a wedding watched by millions around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, they have three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What started with friendship, a little humor, and one unexpected rescue at a party became one of the most famous love stories in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it all began long before Kate officially became the future queen. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
