“It will get easier as time goes on,” the royal continued.

“Everyone will get bored of me, which they do.”

Like many first-year students, William was a little apprehensive about making friends.

It’s about their character and who they are and whether we get on,” he explained.

“I just hope I can meet people I can get on with.

I don’t care about their backgrounds.”

Middleton revealed that William was quite the cook, too.

“I would have to wander in and save something that was [cooking].”

They remained friends which William believes is essential to any relationship.

“When I first met Kate, I knew there was something very special about her.

“We ended up being friends for a while, and that just sort of was a good foundation …

I generally believe now that being friends with one another is a massive advantage.

And it just went from there.”

However, they encountered a slight hiccup post-graduation when they decided to part ways.

As William noted, they were very young at the time.

While Middleton wasn’t too happy about the situation, she took a positive experience from it as well.

William and Kate got married April 29, 2011and have been happily together ever since.
