Prince William and Kate Middleton had special ‘connection’ from day one, says friend

Singer-songwriter Laura Warshauer, who met the couple at St Andrew’s University, said there were clear signs that Prince William and Kate Middleton were smitten with one another

Prince William and Kate Middleton enjoyed a special connection from the very first time they met at university, a friend revealed.

Singer-songwriter Laura Warshauer, who met the couple at St Andrew’s University in 2021, said she witnessed the intimate moments that showed the couple were smitten from day one. She said there were often “small moments” between the couple that proved they would go the distance.

Laura, from New Jersey, said Prince William was “always paying attention” to Kate whenever she was in the room. She struck up a friendship with the prince, who she called “Will Wales.”

She previously told People : “Whenever Kate was in the room, Will was obviously paying attention to her. When we’d be sitting at lunch in the dining hall and the two of them would be talking, it was amazing to see how natural it was, how they had so much to say to each other. Looking back, there were all these small moments—certainly moments where I was like, ‘Wow, this could really be something’.”

Laura would go on to write a song for the couple’s wedding on April 29, 2011. She has previously spoken about her student life, adding William regularly paid her visits to ask for biscuits and Kate liked to sit on her bed and play guitar.

She also previously recalled when William paid £200 for Kate during a ‘slave’ charity auction, saying: “No one else was winning Kate that night. They already had that connection.”

In their engagement interview in 2010, Kate said she blushed when she met Prince William and “scuttled off, feeling very shy.” “It did take a bit of time for us to get to know each other but we did become very close friends from quite early,” she added.

The couple has gone from strength to strength since their university days and have welcomed three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. They are now considered among the most popular members of the Royal Family.
