Luckily, the lovebirds got back together in the end
Prince William and Kate Middleton look like the perfect couple. In 2011, the two got married and together they had three beautiful children. Although they have a very stable marriage now, that’s definitely been different in the past.
William and Kate met each other in 2002.
Relationship
Before her life as a royal, Kate Middleton was a student like many others. She studied at St. Andrews University in Scotland, which is the same school Prince William also went to. In late 2002, the two became housemates and that was the start of something very beautiful. The following year, they began their relationship. However, after a relationship of four years, it was made public in 2007 that the two had broken up. Both Kate and William remained silent on the reason behind the split. British media speculated that the royal duties, long-distance relationship, paparazzi, and the huge pressure from the media were the reasons behind the breakup.
Broken heart
Kate’s heart was broken. To cheer herself up after the split, she decided to travel. According to The Express, Kate travelled to Ireland with her mother, Carole Middleton, and a few of her best friends. During her visit to Dublin, she met artist Gemma Billington, who would later also be present at the royal wedding in 2011.
