Kate and William got engaged on safari in Kenya in 2010. Official pictures of the couple were also taken and shown to the public for the occasion. Kate is seen in a royal blue wrap dress with a large engagement ring and William in a dark suit with a purple tie. The ring is a very special one: It is Princess Diana's sapphire engagement ring.

Now Kate, who is now Princess of Wales, was asked about exactly these pictures. In a clip that can be seen on TikTok, she also tells how her three children George, Charlotte and Louis reacted. When they saw the pictures, they said: "Mom, you look so young". But Kate and William also have to laugh when they look at the photos, according to US Weekly magazine.

The two are currently on their first royal engagements following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in the Welsh towns of Anglesey and Swansea. A large number of well-wishers had gathered there and Kate was in the mood for a little chat with those present.

There are numerous comments under the clip on TikTok. "How wonderful she is" or "I would have loved to have been there too". Some even compare her to Princess Diana.

Kate and William met while studying at the University of St. Andrews. At that time, William was voted the "most coveted single in the country", as reported by "Spiegel", among others. Because of William, even the apartment prices in St. Andrews had skyrocketed at the time: young female students in particular wanted to live near him. Kate lived in his flat and persuaded him to continue studying in the small Scottish town.

At first nothing was suspected of the later love story: "Nothing romantic happens between Kate and William, because she has a boyfriend," quoted "Spiegel Online" the British media at the time.
