As a future King, Prince William reportedly had no shortage of attention from girls during his university days.
But there was one who most definitely stole his heart, wife Kate - with the couple having known each other for more than 20 years and been married for 12.
Upon her marriage to William, Kate was granted the royal title of Duchess of Cambridge and following the sad death of the late Queen last year, is now known as the Princess of Wales.
She will also get another title upgrade when her husband eventually ascends the throne - and will be known as Queen Catherine.
So naturally, when William decided to settle down with Kate, many thought she was one very lucky lady.
But when one of the now-Princesses' friends put this point to her, she reportedly had a brilliant response.
During their university days at St Andrews, a friend told Kate how lucky she was to be going out with William.
And according to Claudia Joseph, author of Kate Middleton: Princess in Waiting, Smiling, Kate simply replied: "He's lucky to have me."
In a rare admission earlier this month, Kate spoke out about her love for William and how it led to her becoming a member of the Royal Family.
Kate made the rare comment when she joined a Dame Kelly Holmes Trust event in Bath and took on the double Olympic champion at a game of bean-bag noughts and crosses – but came out second best.
Asked if she wanted to be a "royal" by a pupil, the Princess replied it was something she had not expected but she "fell in love" with Prince William.
She also candidly admitted that there is one party of royal life she's "still working out" and confessed it was not her "natural thing".
When the Princess sat down for a private chat with a group of schoolgirls supported by the charity at St Katherine's School in Bristol, she opened up the floor to questions about herself after listening to their experiences about home and school life.
Afterwards, double Olympic champion Dame Kelly said when the schoolgirls quizzed Kate about being a "royal", the Princess said it was something "she had to learn".
Speaking for herself, Dame Kelly said: "A struggle to kind of know that you can be accepted and fit in, and still learning every day."
The double Olympic champion said public speaking was not a "natural thing" to many people and, commenting on Kate, added: "She said she's still working that out".
