Kate Middleton and Prince William tied the knot back in 2011, but even now, many people still refer to her by her maiden name.
And according to one expert, there’s a reason behind that.
The royal couple first crossed paths while attending the prestigious University of St Andrews.
However, their romance didn’t happen right away. During their engagement, Kate admitted that when they first met, she turned “bright red” — and William quickly “scuttled off.”
The pair became “close friends” during their time at university in Scotland and even shared a home with their group of friends. Their bond reportedly turned romantic after William saw Kate in the now-iconic sheer dress at a charity fashion show.
Although they briefly split five years into the relationship to get “just a bit of space,” they eventually got back together.
The Prince and Princess of Wales married in 2011 and later welcomed three children: Prince George in 2013, Princess Charlotte in 2015, and Prince Louis in 2018.
