‘They have an unwavering mutual respect for each other’
Kate and William met as students at the University of St Andrews in 2001 and Katie says their careful consideration of each other is what makes their bond so strong.
She says, “The dynamics that make Kate and William’s relationship work is friendship and partnership. They have an unwavering respect for each other.
What’s always struck me is what a partnership they are. You really see teamwork put into practice. Also, there is an understanding between them. Kate’s never tried to upstage William, William has always made a point of supporting Kate and her solo projects. You get the impression he’s very proud of her now that we see her coming into her own more, particularly with the launch of her Early Years programme in the last two years.”
