The Duchess of Cambridge
Today's Royal Buzz is about exactly when Kate met Prince William. It's always been thought that it was when they were both at St. Andrews University in Scotland. But in her new book, Kate: The Future Queen, Katie Nicholl claims that they met before they went to St. Andrews. Apparently Kate was first introduced to William when she was a student at the tony Marlborough College (not a college in the American sense, more like a prep school). Some of her friends introduced her to both Prince William and Prince Harry. So she would have been one of the few people William would have known when he first arrived at St. Andrews. St. Andrews was a very unexpected choice for school as it is not typically where Eton graduates choose to go. Kate had originally planned to go to Edinburgh University and some people have always claimed that once Kate found out that William was going to St. Andrews, she changed her plans. This would have been a risky strategy as she would have had to withdraw from Edinburgh and take a gap year and reapply to St, Andrews and get accepted. This is precisely what happened, although we will probably never know why she choose to change schools.
