Before Kate Middleton married Prince William, Queen Elizabeth stepped in with some words of wisdom, according to a new book about the future King and Queen's relationship. Written by the Mirror's royal editor, Russell Myers, William and Catherine shares some behind-the-scenes stories of the couple's relationship, including what happened when the future royal bride met with Queen Elizabeth on her own for the first time.

Prince William's engagement to Middleton was announced in November 2010, and per Myers, she met with the late Queen a month later to discuss wedding preparations. Kate was "understandably nervous" for her first one-on-one meeting with the late monarch, but according to the author, she needn't have worried.
