Prince William and Princess Kate announced their engagement on November 16, 2010. The same day, they posed for photos at St. James's Palace in London, and conducted a televised interview with journalist Tom Bradby. At the time, Kate Middleton wasn't entirely comfortable, and according to royal experts, Prince William needed to swoop in and "rescue" his fiancée in a "moment of panic."
According to Katie Nicholl's book, Kate: The Future Queen, the Princess of Wales had been "dreading" the engagement interview, via the Daily Mail. The royal author explained, "Afterward Mr. Brady remembered her leaning back and sighing with relief, exclaiming, 'I'm no good at this!'"
