Prince William and Kate Middleton may have one of the most admired marriages in the world today, but their road to the altar wasn’t without its bumps. One quiet promise made by William—far from the royal spotlight—helped rebuild their relationship after a rocky moment.
Back in 2007, the couple had just gone through a brief breakup that left royal watchers stunned. But away from the cameras, William and Kate were working on their relationship. They slipped away on a private vacation to Desroches Island in the Seychelles, using the low-key aliases ‘Martin’ and ‘Rosemary Middleton,’ according to Hello! Magazine.
