Here are five enduring royal love stories sure to make your heart skip a beat.
Royal Love Stories Are Spectacular
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton are now the UK’s golden couple. They met in 2001 while studying at the University of St. Andrews.
There meetup shows that even royals get butterflies on first dates! Kate is reported to have curtsied to William when they first met, and William responded by spilling a drink on himself. Speaking about their first interaction, the future King said, “When I first met Kate, I knew there was something very special about her, and I knew there was something I wanted to explore there.”
In 2010 Kate said, “We moved in together as friends, because we were living together, we lived with a couple of others as well and it sort of blossomed from there really, we just saw more of each other and hung out a bit more and it went from there really.”

Their contemporaries Zara And Mike Tindall Are Also Beloved By The Brits.
Zara met her future husband in 2003 at the Manly Wharf bar in Sydney. Mike told The Daily Mail in 2011, “She was on her gap year and in Australia with friends, Clive (Woodward, the coach) had just told me I was dropped for the semi-final, so I went out for a beer with two others who weren’t playing, Martin Corry and Austin Healey. Zara was in the same bar; we got introduced but didn’t speak that much. Later on, Austin gave me her number and said, ‘She wants you to text her, to say where you’re all going out after the final so she can come along.'”
Their relationship moved along nicely from there and they married in July 2011 at a private wedding at Edinburgh’s Canongate Kirk.
