Prince William and Kate Middleton’s dorm reunion

Prince William and Kate Middleton to visit Australia before royal wedding

It’s the place where they first fell in love, but when Prince William and Kate Middleton returned to the University of St Andrews in Scotland, there was no time to reminisce about their romance.

He revealed the prince didn’t settle into college life straight away because he was “very nervous” when he first arrived.

“What was striking was within two or three weeks he was a changed person — much more relaxed,” he added.

Kate also reminisced with Professor Cassidy about her college years.

“She was telling me she has kept her essays,” Professor Cassidy said. “I said, ‘I kept mine too, to show to my children’.”

Kate seemed to like that idea. “I’ll probably do the same,” she said.

During their visit the pair also spoke to their former cleaning lady 67-year-old Mary Mathers who used to clean for them when they were living at St Salvator’s Hall and when the pair lived in a house on the outskirts of the town.

Kate greeted Mary with “pleased to meet you again,” while Prince William spoke to her about the visits to the local fish and chip shop in her hometown of Anstruther, Scotland, which she had recommended.

“I put him onto it,” Mary told reporters during the visit.

She also said William was a tidy student during his stay at the residence hall.
