Although they’re now preparing to become the future King and Queen, there was a time when Prince William and Princess Kate went their separate ways. It's well known that the couple—who met at the University of St. Andrews in 2001—briefly split in 2007, but a new royal biography reveals they might not have reunited if it hadn’t been for Queen Elizabeth stepping in.
William and Catherine, The Monarchy’s New Era: The Inside Story—written by the Mirror's royal editor, Russell Myers—releases on March 10. On February 18, the author told People that the late Queen was a "catalyst for William changing course" on Kate after she met with him privately on the matter.
