Kate Middleton Saves Prince William From ‘Disaster’ In First Meeting

The Amazon Prime Documentary “Kate Middleton: Working Class to Windsor” claims that Kate Middleton saved Prince William from a “personal disaster” when they first met at the University of St Andrews. The Royal couple met each other in 2001 at the university where Prince William was a student and began dating in 2003.

According to the documentary, Kate, now 36 and the Duchess of Cambridge, helped Prince William, now the Duke of Cambridge, from the disaster by convincing him not to drop out but continue his studies instead. Prince Charles was taken aback at the idea of his son leaving the university. But he was kind and sympathetic enough to come up with a “withdrawal strategy.” Meanwhile, the Royal aides were not too considerate. Some of them even said that William would have been seen as a quitter and it would have definitely been a personal disaster for him.

Sunday Express political editor Camilla Tominey said in an interview that “They were friends at St Andrews before they went on to start going out with each other.”

“Kate, at the time, counselled William with changing his course – she encouraged him not to leave and go back down to London but to stick with it and do something a little bit different,” she added. After much convincing, William took Geography instead of Art History. William then earned a second class honours degree.

Prince William and Kate were able to keep their relationship private in the early years with the help of the royal family. While studying at the Scottish University, the Duke of Cambridge went by the name “Steve” to avoid extra attention from the other students. After several years of courtship, getting to know each other, and developing their relationship, the two were engaged in 2010. They finally tied the knot, Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011. The Royal couple now have three adorable kids—Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
