The royal couple's love story began at St Andrews University, where Prince William was regarded as one of the world's most eligible bachelors. Kate captured William's attention during a charity fashion show at the university, where her striking appearance in a see-through outfit reportedly sealed her royal destiny.
After the event, Kate and William started dating, sparking public interest in their budding romance. According to Claudia Joseph, author of "Kate Middleton: Princess in Waiting," when a friend commented on Kate's luck in dating William, she responded with a confident smile, saying, "He's lucky to have me."
Kate's witty remark reportedly unnerved the individual who underestimated her. The couple, who married in 2011, continues to share a strong bond and lead a happy life together with their three children.
In a rare revelation last year, Kate spoke openly about her love for William. During an interaction with a student who inquired whether she aspired to be a "royal," the Duchess confessed that it was an unexpected journey, but she eventually "fell in love" with Prince William.
