The two met in 2001 while attending University of St. Andrews. Their romance began generating media attention around Chrismas 2003. They were first photographed together on a ski trip shortly before they graduated in 2005. Unfortunately, Kate did not enjoy the media attention and complained of being followed daily.
In February 2006, Kate received her own 24-hour security detail supplied by the Royalty and Diplomatic Protection Department. This is a huge privilege and fueled debates about an upcoming engagement, which still has yet to happen.
On December 16, 2006, Kate attended her first event as a royal guest at the Prince William's passing out parade at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
Even though everyone feels it is just a matter of when, Prince William has repeatedly announced he will not get married until he is 28 years old. Woolworths, the retail chain, already commissioned Will and Kate's engagement memorabilia, just to be prepared when it happens.

They met in January 2005 at a gala dinner in Los Angeles honoring noted Australians and began dating that summer. The couple said “I do” on June 25, 2006 at an all candlelight ceremony in Australia.
