Britain’s future King and the Queen consort first met as casual friends at St. Andrews University. Back in 2001, young and graceful Kate Middleton bewitched our Prince with her confidence and charm. But what worked as a checkmate for Middleton’s fashion ensemble called “the art of seduction.” Although the now-princess managed to win the hearts of the Royal Prince, did you know Kate had pulled away her first kiss with William? So who made the final swing? 

Kate Middleton rebuffed the first kiss with Prince William

There was no doubt that Prince William was totally smitten by his future wife’s charming beauty. Thus, making no further delay, moments after he first saw her in a see-through mesh dress, he reportedly leaned on her for a kiss. However, shocked at his coldness throughout the entire event, Kate Middleton, then 19, pulled away from the Prince.

“In a room full of strangers…she did not want to make it too easy for the Prince,” an excerpt from the book quotes. The entire build-up of the royal fairytale is mentioned in detail in a book by Nicholl, When Kate Met William: A Tale of Two Lives.

Middleton did not feel free to give in to her desire for the Prince. Nevertheless, the Prince continued wooing his dream woman by saying she was a total knockout that evening. Although the smart and confident Kate Middleton did not pay any heed to William’s advances, she knew she was falling for her future husband. The author even mentions that the scenario of the entire evening was totally calculated on Middleton’s part. Katie Nicholl, the well-established Royal author, says Kate Middleton could not help but blush at the Prince’s flattering comments. 

All of it quickly escalated till they both ended up marrying each other at Westminster Abbey in London. The two tied the knot on April 29th, 2011 and have continued to live happily together forever since. They also share three beautiful children with rumors of baby number 4 already on its way.
