I just want to go to university and have fun. I want to go there and be an ordinary student. – Prince Wiliam
Kate Middleton had been crowned the prettiest girl at St. Salvator (Sally’s).
Often Kate would go running before breakfast.
Within weeks Wiliam was bold enough to invite her to join him.
If William had a scheduling conflict, Kate would take notes for him.

It was the night of the annual Don’t Walk charity fashion show, March 27, 2002, when the moment of realization suddenly hit William. As Kate shimmied down the catwalk at the five-star St. Andrew’s Bay Hotel, William turned to Fergus and whispered, “Wow, Fergus, Kate’s hot!”
At a party after the show William decided to make his move. ..Wiliam and Kate were huddled in a quiet corner, deep in conversation…William leaned to kiss her. It was Kate who pulled away.
William and Kate had fallen in love and were enjoying a conventional university romance. In a bid to keep their relationship below the radar for as long as possible, they would leave the house at different times and arrive at dinner parties separately, and made a pact never to hold hands in public.
The shot of William gazing lovingly at Kate that was published in the Sun newspaper on April 1, 2004, was no April Fool’s joke. William and Kate were definitely more than just friends.
Suddenly the floodgates opened and the world wanted to know everything about this shy, pretty and unassuming girl.
According to one of her friends at St. Andrews, “She never got above her station, and even though she had secured the most sought-after boy at St. Andrews, she never gloated. She was quite insecure about her looks and never considered herself pretty, she was very sweet and very shy.”
