Prince William and the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) are college sweethearts as they began seeing each other when they attended St. Andrews University in Scotland. The pair ended up dating privately for some time and reports swirled in 2002 that they were moving out of their dorms and renting a flat together with a couple of college friends. By 2004, their relationship became public knowledge when they were photographed together on a ski trip. 

In 2010, Buckingham Palace announced that they had gotten engaged and William proposed to Kate with the sapphire engagement ring that once belonged to his late mother, Princess Diana.

The two tied the knot on April 29, 2011. Their royal wedding took place at London’s Westminster Abbey in front of 1,900 guests and was watched by another 23 million people who tuned in from around the world to see the affair. But even with so many eyes on the bride and groom that day, many didn’t catch the look William gave Kate which is included in a new video that was recently shared on TikTok.
