Prince William used 'fake identity' at University of St Andrew's to avoid media attention

Prince William reportedly used a fake name whilst studying at the University of St Andrews University, where he first met wife Kate Middleton, in a bid to avoid the media attention on him from distracting from his studies.

The Prince and Princess of Wales were both students at the Fife establishment, where an agreement was put in place that allowed the heir to the throne to give his full focus on studying for his master of arts degree in Geography.

Future wife-to-be Kate Middleton was in Scotland at the same institution back in 2001, studying for her degree in art history, when the senior royal couple first met.
