We all know that the Prince William And Kate Middleton they met at university: they both attended St. Andrew’s, Scotland, and everyone had talked to the prince about a certain “beautiful Kate”, prompting the young William to meet this girl, who also lived in the apartment below. at his. What not everyone knows, however, is that the heir to the throne is the Duchess of Cambridge they had already met when they were just nine years old.
This is what he says Katie Nichollwriter and real expert for Vanity Fair Ukwho, crossing the information in his possession, discovered that the two children met at one hockey game where William’s school team, Ludgrove Prep School, played against Kate’s school team, St. Andrew’s Prep.
“Kate wasn’t interested in boys at the time, of course,” writes Nicholl in his Kate: The Future Queen. “But the arrival of that special little boy had caught his attention“.
After that meeting, William and Kate they “touched” once againbefore getting to know each other and falling in love: during theirs gap year before university. Kate had spent it studying in Italy, a Florence (where he learned our language), and William had left in the wake of the Welsh Guards for the Belize. But they both had also spent two and a half months in Chile for a volunteer experience with the local population, and both had relied on the same organization, the Raleigh International, to participate in the program. “They just chose different weeks,” said Malcolm Sutherland, who led both expeditions. “It’s an absolutely crazy coincidence.” Or it was simply fate.
