Prince William and Kate Middleton: A Love Story Filled with Awkward Moments
The relationship between Prince William and Kate Middleton has captivated fans of the royal family for years.
From their days as students to their current status as parents of three children, their journey has been anything but ordinary.
Recently, former royal butler Grant Harold shed some light on a particularly awkward situation that occurred during their early years together.
In 2008, Prince Charles celebrated his jubilee and organized a lavish reception at his private residence, Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.
Naturally, Kate, who had been dating William for five years by then, was invited to the event.
However, upon her arrival, she found herself in an uncomfortable predicament – no one was there to greet her.
Surrounded by a sea of unfamiliar faces, most of whom were much older than her, Kate stood alone, feeling like an outcast.
Thankfully, the butler came to her rescue.
Grant Harold approached Kate, who was standing awkwardly in the middle of the room, and struck up a conversation with her.
They chatted amicably until William finally made his appearance.
Unfortunately, his tardiness only added to Kate's humiliation, as he was supposed to meet her at the entrance and properly introduce her to the guests.
It was a moment Prince Charles would surely rather forget, as it did not align with aristocratic standards of etiquette.
Despite this embarrassing incident, Harold revealed that William and Kate's relationship was, at its core, just like any other couple in love.
They experienced their fair share of ups and downs, but what stood out to the butler was Kate's unwavering politeness and friendliness towards him and the other royal staff.
She always treated them with respect, never resorting to rudeness or arrogance.
Harold admitted that he was genuinely saddened when William initially broke up with Kate but rejoiced when news of their reconciliation broke.
He also shared fond memories of serving the Windsors during significant milestones, such as Charles' marriage to Camilla and William and Harry's university years.
