The early days of Prince William and Kate's blossoming relationship at university have attracted much speculation over the years, from their initial friendship to their days of courtship.
The Prince and Princess of Wales met at the University of St Andrews in 2001, where Kate studied art history, and William earned a degree in geography. They officially went public with the relationship during a ski trip to Switzerland in 2004.
The couple became engaged in October 2010 during a private holiday to Kenya and married the following year, following years of rumours. During this time, Kate had been cruelly nicknamed "waity Katie" by the press, who accused her of waiting for William to propose for years.
However, in the new episode of HELLO!'s A Right Royal Podcast featuring The Mirror's royal editor Russell Myers, a new perspective is shed on their budding romance.
Russell, who has recently published his new book, Catherine and William: The Inside Story, said people have often described Kate as a "bit of a wallflower" or "Waity Katie", criticising the fact she "didn't have a job".

He added: "It wasn't necessarily love at first sight. It was a meeting of minds and William was very attracted to the fact that she wasn't overawed by him. I was surprised by how their relationship grew and how it was formulated in those early days of having a deep respect and willingness to let the relationship go its own path."
