Before Kate and William got married or even engaged, the two dated on-off for nine years. The Crown historian Robert Lacey spoke to ELLE.com in November about the great lengths Kate went to cross paths with William.
“Kate was very strategic,” Lacey says. “She gave up her place at one of Britain’s premier universities, Edinburgh, and opted for another one [St. Andrews] that probably didn’t have the same academic standard. She had already been to Edinburgh to get her flat accommodations sorted out but switched universities and switched her courses to history of art because that was William’s. She delayed her own education by a year and even takes the chance she won’t get into St. Andrews.”
When the two first started dating in college, Kate knew it would take time for William to commit to her. “Kate eventually accepted the idea that she would have to do a long apprenticeship,” Lacey said. “William didn’t want to marry until he was 30. She waited nine years, but, in the end, she got him at 28, so there’s another strategic accomplishment on her part—and she is proving to be an ideal heir to the throne.”
