William
:
We
were,
obviously...
we
met
at
university,
at
St
Andrews,
and
we
were
friends
for
over
a
year
first.
And
it
just
sort
of
blossomed
from
then
on.
We
just
spent
more
time
with
each
other
and
had
a
good
giggle,
had
lots
of
fun,
and
realised
we
were
sharing
the
same
interests,
and
just,
you
know,
had
a
really
good
time.
She’s
got
a
really
naughty
sense
of
humour
which
kind
of
helps
me
‘cos
I’ve
got
a
very
dry
sense
of
humour.
So...
it
was
good
fun.
We
had
a
really
good
laugh,
and
then
things
happened.
Tom
Bradby
:
And
Kate,
what
did
you
think
of
William?
I
mean,
he’s
clearly
not
quite
the
same
as
meeting
your
average,
you
know,
university....
maybe
it
was!
I
don’t
know,
but...
what
was
your
first
impression?
Kate
:
Actually,
William
wasn’t
there
for
quite
a
bit
of
the
time,
initially.
He
wasn’t
there
for
Fresher's’
week,
and...
erm,
so
it
did
take
a
bit
of
time
for
us
to
get
to
know
each
other.
But
we
did
become,
you
know,
very
close
friends
from
quite
early
on.
