Prince William and Kate Middleton met as first-year students at the University of St. Andrews in the fall of 2001—25 years ago—and became friends.
Legend has it that Kate's appearance in a see-through tunic in a March 2002 fashion show is what caused William to become romantically attracted to her.
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward counters that, though, revealing that the two had already been on a date months prior.
In the lore of Prince William and Kate Middleton's love story, legend has it that the future king was first romantically attracted to his friend Kate after seeing her walk in a 2002 charity fashion show. Sitting in the front row, William reportedly turned to a friend after seeing Kate hit the catwalk—in a see-through tunic made of gold and black fabric with blue-ribbon trim and a black bandeau bra and bikini bottoms underneath—and said, "She's hot!"
But according to longtime royal biographer Ingrid Seward, while Kate's modeling experience might have cemented William's interest in her, it wasn't the first spark. Writing for The Daily Mail, Seward said, "What no one knew back then—but I can exclusively reveal now—is that the couple had already been on a date."
