A biography published four years ago states that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met before they attended college. Kate was accepted to the University of Edinburgh but made last minute changes.

Kate's nickname while still at Marlborough was Princess-in-waiting. A nickname she was given before she even considered St Andrew's, where she claimed to have met William for the first time.

According to William and Kate's engagement interview, they had mutual friends at St. Andrews. They eventually got to know each other better and both majored in Art History.

However, Kate's school friends stated that she met William while still at Marlborough. Soon after William was accepted to St. Andrews, Kate made a last minute change and enrolled at St. Andrews as well.

According to Nicholl's biography, their friendship went to the next level when Kate got William's attention at a student fashion show. William took note when she modeled a sheer skirt over a bikini.

Nicholl also learned that Kate had just had her heart broken by her high school sweetheart, Harry Blakelock. Blakelock was considered to be the most popular boy in school.
