The Prince and Princess of Wales famously met in their first year at the University of St Andrew's in Scotland - but they were almost banned from living together in their second year for an odd reason
Very few of us need reminding that the Prince and Princess of Wales' love story began at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. The couple met during their first year when they were both living at St Salvator's Halls of Residence and would go on to move in together.
However, the pair almost didn't get to live together at all in their second year due to a problem that their landlord had with previous male tenants. After hearing that there may be a problem, Kate stepped in to secure the house for herself, William and two of their closest friends. The future Prince and Princess of Wales decided to live at 13A Hope Street near the university with two friends, Fergus Boyd and Olivia Bleasdale. When Kate went for the viewings she soon heard that there may be an obstacle blocking her from living with William.
"I said to this young lady we’d really rather not have more boys and she said, "What if I were to tell you that it was Prince William?" After some consideration, Smith and her husband relented and allowed William and Fergus to move in. She later described the prince as "very friendly, very charming...thoroughly nice man."
