The royal love story between Princess Kate and Prince William began long before the world had any idea. Both Kate and William attended the University of St Andrews, where their initial encounter was far from the polished, public-facing relationship we see today. In fact, Kate's first reaction to meeting the future king speaks volumes about her nature.
In their 2010 engagement interview, Kate reminisced about their very first meeting, admitting she was incredibly shy when she met William. Tom Bradby asked the pair: "When did you first set eyes on each other and what did you think?" William replied: "It's a long time ago now, Tom, I'm trying to wrack my brain. We obviously met at university - at St Andrews we were friends for over a year first and it just sort of blossomed from then on.
We just spent more time with each other, had a good giggle, had lots of fun and realised we shared the same interests and had a really good time. "She's got a really naughty sense of humour, which kind of helps me because I've got a really dry sense of humour, so it was good fun, we had a really good laugh and things happened." Tom then asked Kate, "What did you think of William? It's clearly not quite the same as meeting your average university student, or maybe it was, what was your first impression?" The future Princess confessed: "Well I actually think I went bright red when I met you and sort of scuttled off, feeling very shy about meeting you.
Actually William wasn't there for quite a bit .
