Princess Kate is regarded by many as a model of modern royals, and although she came from a commoner background, she has been working hard since she married into the royal family for 13 years, maintaining a good public image and becoming one of the most popular royal family members in United Kingdom.
However, everyone should remember that it is not easy for Kate to marry into the royal family, and she broke up with William during the love stage, and almost broke up more than once.
(Kate & William)
Recently, United Kingdom writer Robert ·Jobson published a biography of Princess Kate called Catherine, Princess of Wales – A Biography of the Future Queen.
In this biography, Kate and William's love melon is deeply explored......

"I'm free!"
William shouted as he danced a drunken version of the robot dance.
To celebrate the breakup, he and his best friends drank all night at the bar, and he told them to "drink all the wine on the wine list", which was actually pretty much the same.

In early 2007, William and Kate broke up.
Naturally, Kate also heard about these childish actions of his.
For her, this also seemed to mean that their beautiful love affair on campus ended in humiliation.
After the news of the breakup of the two came out, gossip reporters couldn't bear it, and rumors flew all over the sky for a while.
Some say William was infatuated with another young girl, pretty socialite Isabella · Calthorpe.

William and Isabella met a few years ago while on vacation in Greece.
Isabella also happened to be single when William and Kate broke up, but she didn't seem to be enthusiastic about being a royal girlfriend, which would limit her future as an actress.
And her attitude did not dampen William's enthusiasm.
It is said that William visited her many times in order to pursue her, but even though he had clearly expressed his affection, the woman was still unmoved.

At that time, almost no one imagined that William would eventually return to Kate, or rather, that Kate would still accept him.
Because Kate has no shortage of admirers, she is also a very dazzling presence among her peers......
Kate is intelligent, inquisitive, and more mature than her peers.
This may be due to the fact that her parents have always paid attention to her education.
When Kate was a child, her father worked as a dispatcher at British Airways and the family lived in Amman, Jordan, for three years.
Kate attended an international kindergarten and learned Arabic and English every day, and began reciting poems in Arabic and English every day at the age of 3 or 4.
(Kate as a child)
In 1986, the family moved back to their home in West Berkshire, United Kingdom, and Kate began attending a private kindergarten in United Kingdom.
The teachers spoke highly of her, saying that she was a very serious and hard-working child, and that she was a natural athlete, and that she was a master athlete until now.
Kate's mother opened a company that sold supplies for children's birthday parties, the business was very good, the family's financial conditions were better, and her parents sent Kate to a private school.
When she was 13 years old, Kate went to Tang House Girls' School, which was a good school, but Kate couldn't fit in, because her classmates there all started playing together at the age of 11, and she couldn't play with a transfer student.
(Kate as a child)
After only 2 semesters there, Kate transferred to Marlborough School, a boarding school, a co-educational school, and after only a few weeks of enrollment, Kate's unhappiness was swept away and she began to shine.
Many students in the same class remember that she liked to eat marmite sandwiches, listen to music on her Walkman, and watch "Friends".
She was the "perfect student" in the mouth of her surroundings, and she took a total of 11 subjects in the high school entrance examination, with A's in math and art, and B in English.
At the age of 16, Kate took off her braces and became a slim beautiful girl, and soon topped the "school flower list" spontaneously selected by students.
She also ushered in her first love, her first boyfriend was a male classmate from the same school, and the two broke up when Kate began to take a gap year after the college entrance examination, and Kate is said to be very sad at the time.
When she was in middle school, Kate had a picture of William on the wall of her dorm room, but when asked, she never admitted to having a crush on William.
"No, I have a picture of Levi's advertising male model on my wall, not William."
(Funny Kate)
Few people know that Kate's acquaintance with William actually happened when she was in middle school.
William was studying at Eton College at the time, and there were many exchanges between the two schools, and it was at the events that they met.
According to someone close to them, "I know he invited her to some events. ”
(William in high school)
After graduating from high school, Kate had planned to study art history at the University of Edinburgh, and was even sure to be accepted.
But at the last moment, she hesitated and decided to take a gap year off from school and use her gap year to travel abroad to increase her knowledge and think about her future plans.
After recharging, Kate chose the University of St Andrews, the same school as William.
Rumor has it that it was the scheming Kate who changed her mind in order to get closer to William, and that her mother encouraged her to go to the University of St. Andrews in order to attract the prince's attention.
A person who knows William and Kate well said that this statement was "nonsense", and Kate certainly never admitted it.
Because before William went to university, everyone thought that he would go to Trinity College, Cambridge University, like Charles, but he didn't get enough grades and didn't get in.
In 2001, under the pseudonym "Steve", he quietly went to the University of St Andrews.
So whether the two went to the same university by fate or by intention, no one is clear.
(Kate in college)
Before Kate and William dated, both had boyfriends and girlfriends in college.
Kate dated a fourth-year law school boy, but broke up not long after.
When William first entered college, he had sparks with two girls one after another.
A man named Carly · Massy-Birch from the Devon countryside was very opportunistic with William, often discussing literature together, playing board games together, attending dinner parties with friends and drinking cider at the pub together.
(Carly · Marcy-Birch)
But their relationship only lasted one semester because William had another girl in his heart.
Her name is Arabella Musgrave · the daughter of a polo club manager.
Before going to college in 2001, William and her met at a party, and the summer vacation has been hot.
William was very infatuated with her for a while, but after a while, both of them felt that they should calm down.
When he went to college, William found that he couldn't forget Arabella, and every time he went to Charles's Highgrove estate, he would ask her to meet her on weekends.

William was sandwiched between these two girls, not knowing who to choose, and in the end the two relationships were over.
When he was in college, he was very cautious in making friends, and once said, "If someone wants to take advantage of me and take advantage of me, I will quickly find out and leave theirs immediately, I am not stupid." ”
(William in college)
At this moment, William noticed the beautiful girl he had known since high school, Kate.
The two met by chance because they lived in the same dormitory building, and began to hang out drinking and chatting together, and occasionally played tennis together.
William later recalled: "We were friends at first, and after a year or so we grew closer. ”
"We spent more and more time together, laughed together, had a lot of fun, and we found out that we shared each other's interests and had a really happy time."
William found Kate's smile contagious, and every time she smiled, he would smile with her.
He also felt that this girl was very different and that she was very active in all aspects of her life, which he admired.

Everyone knows what happened next.
In March 2002, Kate walked the runway on a campus charity catwalk.
The dress cost only £30 to make at the time and later sold for £80,000 at auction.
(Kate on the catwalk)
The name of this fashion show is "The Art of Seduction", and Kate is very relevant because she "seduces" William away.
William spent £200 to get a front-row seat to watch the show, and he was immediately hooked by Kate on stage.
From that moment on, he understood that he didn't just want to be ordinary friends with Kate.
In her sophomore year, William and Kate went out to live in a rented house with two close friends.
In student circles, it is already an open secret that "William and Kate are in love".
(William in college)
But the two of them have always paid attention to hiding, often going out at different times, not doing activities together, even if they want to go to the same event, they will stagger the arrival and departure times, and have always maintained the "secret love" that everyone sees through and does not say, and has never been photographed by the media.
On weekends or holidays, William often takes Kate to Highgrove Manor, Sandringham Manor, or Balmeral Manor for appointments.
Sometimes they stay in hotels and use the pseudonyms "Mr. Smith" and "Mrs. Smith", although this does not fool anyone.
In May 2003, their romance came to light, but a month later William publicly said that he did not have a girlfriend, which may be true, as the two briefly broke up that year.
In August of the same year, the two got back together.
They don't want to fall in love with two "light bulbs", so they move to a country cottage where they live together, which is their haven of seclusion.
William would cook for Kate in order to show himself in front of his girlfriend, but often ended up either burning things or setting them on fire.
Kate would sit on the side at this time, and when he overturned, he came out in time to hold the situation.
(Kate in college)
Or maybe they were too happy and relaxed during that time, and the two relaxed their vigilance a little, and when they went skiing in Switzerland in 2004, they were photographed by the media for the first time.
The Sun put their photo on the cover with the headline "Wells got a girlfriend", so angry that Charles almost fell out with the Sun.
(Cover of The Sun)
In 2005, both graduated with second-class honors, and Kate posted a photo of the two at the graduation ceremony, which was considered to be an official disclosure of their relationship.
After the graduation ceremony, the happy college years are over.
During that time, William introduced Kate to the Queen, which marked another step in the relationship between the two.

After graduating, they both returned to London and Kate rented an apartment in Chelsea, London.
As the prince's girlfriend, she can also enjoy VIP treatment when she goes to dance at the hippest club in town.
But at the same time, this identity also brings her a huge sense of disparity, she may still have tea with the queen in Windsor Castle today, but the next day she has to go to work on the bus, followed by countless paparazzi.
At that time, the discussion in the outside world was already very lively, and they all thought that they were about to have a good thing.
However, William did not want to give a promise yet.
When Kate was 24 years old, William underwent a year of military training at Sandhurst, and he went to Kate's parents' house every Friday night to meet her.
In December 2006, Kate took her parents to William's graduation ceremony, and William was the protagonist that day, but the media focused more on Kate.
A few weeks later, the Sunday Times published a lengthy article headlined "The Girl Who Will Be Queen in the Future".
(Kate's family attends William's graduation ceremony)
Everyone thinks that Kate's marriage into the royal family is already a certainty, but the problem is that there has been no news of William's marriage proposal.
Some people began to taunt her, calling her "Waiting Kate".
Some people also criticized her for working at her mother's company instead of going out on her own.
Later, Kate changed jobs and worked as an accessories buyer for the shopping site Jigsaw.
The boss gave her the green light to go on vacation with William on a small island in the South Caribbean, which made the royal family "surprised" so often that Kate's colleagues did not have such holiday benefits, which also made Kate fall into criticism.
Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and William still hasn't proposed.
Kate knew that he was not in a hurry to get married, and she felt that it was not too late to propose when he was ready, after all, it was enough for two people to love each other.
In January 2007, Kate was about to turn 25 years old, and her parents organized a family New Year's party.
Kate sensed that something was wrong, and soon William called her and said that she wanted to break up.
William said they both needed a little space and needed to find their way to the future, and he couldn't give her the promise of marriage right now.
After 30 minutes of chatting, their relationship ended.

After the breakup, Kate had self-doubts and kept wondering if she was worth it in the past few years.
In order to get her out of lovelorn, her mother took her to Dublin to recuperate, so that she could avoid the paparazzi of the prisoners and prevent them from taking pictures of "Heartbroken Kate".
William, meanwhile, went to a bar with his friends for a night after the breakup, which is the scene mentioned at the beginning of the article.
After returning from recuperation, Kate decided not to be depressed anymore.
She went on holiday with her female friends, and when she returned to London, she often went to nightclubs with her sister Pippa, and the media always photographed them.

That summer, Kate didn't have to hold it anymore, she wore taller heels, showed more legs, and was said to be dating a rich second generation of ship.
And William was in the army that summer, so he could only stay in the barracks every day.
(Kate in a short skirt)
The newspaper was full of boldly dressed Kate every day, and it was difficult for William not to see it, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
He began to seriously consider whether to turn back, but thinking about how he had treated her before, he was afraid that Kate would not accept him again.
He knew that this time he had to give Kate a promise for the future.

Fortunately, at this time, a friend came out and held a "naughty ghost" drag theme party, inviting William and Kate to create opportunities for them.
That day, Kate was wearing a nurse's outfit, and when he saw her, William walked straight over. They had a deep chat, then danced and kissed together.
The friends joked and told them to hurry to find a room, and then they slipped away together.
The two have been kept secret since they got back together, and later they attended a charity concert together to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Diana's death, and Kate sat two rows behind William and was noticed by the media.
In March 2008, the two were photographed together after getting back together, skiing together again.
(Skiing was photographed again)
In April of the same year, William obtained his pilot's license and would serve as a search and rescue pilot for the United Kingdom Royal Air Force for the next five years.
He and Kate returned to the state of frequent dating and never proposing, and Kate became "waiting Kate" again, and this time she herself began to be anxious.

Two years later, William was sent to the base on Anglesey, and Kate didn't want a long-distance relationship and found a four-bedroom country cottage near his base and moved in with him.
Kate works remotely for her family's company, often going to the supermarket to buy and cook, with no other staff than one cleaner, and the police at Scotland Yard who live in a converted house next to the farmhouse are responsible for protecting them.
William later described the house as "a very special place for both of us".
Kate was too lonely to stay there, though.
"It's so lonely here, I don't have any family with me, and he has to work the night shift."
Their relationship is stable, and Kate knows it's only a matter of time before the next step comes.

In October 2010, they went on holiday to Kenya and stayed in a small cabin in a nature reserve.
This time, Kate finally waited for William's marriage proposal.
There was no road in that place, so I had to take a helicopter; There was no electricity, only candles and stoves for lighting;
There is also no cell phone signal, only a radio; Surrounded by elephants, lions and buffalo.
They only brought a guide, a waiter, and a cook.
But Kate said that it was very romantic, and although she had already guessed it somewhat, she still agreed to William with a smile on her face.

After 7 years together and ups and downs, they are finally about to get married.
Before the wedding, at a bachelorette party at a friend's house, Kate wore a tight dress and sang "Fight For This Love" in imitation of singer Sheryl · Cole.

William has always liked Kate's warm and cheerful appearance.
In 2012, at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert, William met Sheryl · Cole himself and joked: "Do you know you've met a competitor? ”

Later, William and Kate were interviewed once, and William was asked why it took so many years to propose.
"I'm trying to learn from the past," William said, referring to his mom, Diana.
"I want to give her a chance to see the reality clearly, and if she doesn't want to continue, she can quit so that things don't become irreparable......"
