Prince William and Kate Middleton had a dramatic relationship before they decided to settle down in 2011.

In 2001, the couple met at the University of St. Andrews and immediately hit it off. After completing their respective courses in 2005, Prince William and Middleton graduated at the same time. They posed for an adorable photo wearing similar white long-sleeved tops.

Two years earlier, the Duchess of Cambridge tried her luck with modeling. She walked on the runway at a charity auction wearing two-piece lingerie and cover-up. According to E! News, Prince William was elated to see Middleton on stage.

In 2004, Prince William and Middleton went on a ski trip together. They were photographed wearing matching ski gears. Two years later, Prince William took Middleton to his polo match, and the couple seemed to have kissed each other in public at one point.

In the same year, Prince William was photographed riding his horse. Middleton, who is wearing a halter tank top couldn’t take her eyes off of him. Months later, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had a falling out after Prince William decided to cancel his Christmas plans with Middleton and her family.

But the couple still tried to make it work. Two months after Christmas, Middleton joined Prince William and Prince Harry to a sports game. But in the spring of 2007, the couple’s break up was announced. Years later, the couple revealed that they both felt that they were too young at that time.

In the spring of 2007, Middleton was photographed partying excessively with her friends. She went to Ireland to recover from the split and was photographed during one of her late-night rendezvous.

Prince William continued with his royal engagements after his split from Middleton. He was asked about their separation, but he avoided the question. In July 2007, rumors that Prince William and Middleton have gotten back together swirled after the mom of three attended a special tribute for Princess Diana. However, Middleton didn’t sit with Prince William.

In March 2008, they officially got back together. Prince William and Middleton went on another memorable ski trip.
