The respect and love Prince William and Princess Catherine have for each other are admirable. 🌺

Prince William first met Kate Middleton in 2001, when they were both first-year students at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Three years later, a five-page spread of the young couple on Swiss ski slopes revealed their relationship to the world.

triumphantly returned to the spotlight during the Trooping the Colour ceremony. After months of speculation regarding her health, and the announcement of her cancer diagnosis, a regal Catherine took to the balcony of Buckingham Palace with her husband, Prince William and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. As the crowd cheered, Catherine gave a grinning William a radiant smile, and a photo of the tender moment was published around the world.

The mature, glamorous couple that stood on the balcony was miles away from the casual, carefree college students who were first snapped on the Swiss ski slopes of Klosters 20 years ago, but the ease, love, and mutual respect in evidence has remained the same.
