Back together

Luckily, the two didn’t remain broken up for very long. In June 2007, it was made public that they were back together and in November 2010 Prince William got onto one knee for his Kate. After eight years of being together (minus the split), the two finally made it official. During the engagement interview, Kate and William looked back at the breakup for a little bit. “I think I at the time wasn’t very happy about it, but, actually, it made me a stronger person. You find out things about yourself maybe you hadn’t realised,” Kate explains. “We did split up for a bit,” says Prince William. “We were both very young, it was at university and we were both finding ourselves and being different characters and stuff. It was very much trying to find our own way and we were growing up. It was just a bit of space. It worked out for the better.”

And that it did because the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been married for seven years now already!
