It’s the location that launched their love story. So, for Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, their recent visit to Scotland was more than a series of official engagements – it was a trip down memory lane and the chance to relive a key time in their lives.
The pair first crossed paths as students at St Andrews University 20 years ago and love blossomed while they were housemates. William mentioned how important the university town – which is also renowned as the home of golf – is to him in a speech at the beginning of the six-day visit to Scotland. “Needless to say, the town where you meet your future wife holds a very special place in your heart.”
The Cambridges, who have just celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary, were able to indulge in a spot of nostalgia when their busy schedule took them to St Andrews. They went back to their old stomping ground, spending time on campus meeting students involved in a project to help undergraduates cope with university life.
William, who studied geography, and Kate, whose degree was in art history, chatted with students doing the same courses.
St Andrews Principal and Vice-Chancellor Professor Sally Mapstone says the couple connected extremely well with students, not only because the place meant so much to them personally, but because they had great empathy for what young people had been through in the past year due to the pandemic. She added that it was instantly obvious that Kate, 39, and William, 38, have a “brilliant relationship”.
