Their Royal Romance"},"content":{"rendered":"
Pretty sure the story of how Kate Middleton and Prince William met and fell in love could be the basis of any given Lifetime rom-com (wait, sorry, that movie literally exists). You know how it goes: a handsome prince who hasn’t started balding yet goes to a school with \u201cregular people,\u201d falls in love with a \u201cnormal girl,\u201d and ends up marrying her in a fairy tale royal wedding. And that’s…pretty much what happened with Wills and Kate! But while most people know the general story, the details of their meeting are actually pretty under the radar. We did some digging, so gather round.<\/p>\n
Everyone assumes that William and Kate laid eyes on each other at the University of Saint Andrews, but this isn’t actually true. At least not according to royal biographer Katie Nicholl, who told Katie Couric that Wills and Kate met way before university. <\/p>\n
\u201cI was speaking to some of her friends at Marlborough School, which is where she went before St. Andrews,\u201d Nicholl revealed. \u201cAnd they said, ‘Uh-uh, she didn’t meet him at St. Andrews, she met him before<\/em> she got there, while she was at school during her sixth form, through some of her friends. They knew Prince William and Prince Harry, so there wasn’t any meeting.’ And that, for me, it changed everything.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nicholl expands on the story in her book Kate: The Future Queen <\/em>(via Little Things<\/em>), <\/em>writing, \u201c<\/em>although [Kate] wasn’t especially interested in boys, the arrival of one particular young man had caught her attention. Nearby Ludgrove Prep school would often play matches against St. Andrew’s Prep, and there was much excitement when Prince William, a left back on Ludgrove’s Colts team, came to St. Andrew’s to play a hockey match when he was 9 years old. William, like Kate, loved sports and was one of the best hockey and rugby players in his year. Of course, the arrival of the prince generated a flurry of excitement. It was the first time Kate had set her eyes on the young prince but certainly not the last.\u201d<\/p>\n
