What Did Prince William Think the First Time He Met Kate Middleton?
Most women can only dream about catching the eye of a young, handsome prince like Prince William. For Kate Middleton, this dream actually came true.
It was when they were both students at the University of Saint Andrews that they began dating, and it is difficult to imagine a time when they weren’t a couple. Despite some rough times, including a high-profile breakup, Prince William finally asked Middleton to be his wife. The two officially became the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in a spectacular royal ceremony that took place at Westminster Abbey and was broadcast live around the world.
While Prince William and Duchess Kae have been together for so long that not many people think about their college years and their first meeting, surely, the couple themselves remember it well. As it turns out, Middleton was not immediately swept off of her feet the second she laid eyes on the future king. In fact, she was dating someone else at the time, and not entirely sure she was interested in Prince William. But what did Prince William think of Middleton?

Just about everyone knows the story of how Middleton was walking down the runway in a charity fashion show, wearing a sheer black see-through dress with lingerie underneath.
