William and Kate’s First Meeting
“The Crown” shows William and Kate’s relationship beginning with instant attraction at St. Andrews University. Their actual relationship developed more gradually. They met in 2001 and were friends first before dating. Kate initially dated someone else, and William only became romantically interested in her after seeing her in a charity fashion show months later. The show replaces their gradual romance with a love-at-first-sight cliché that distorts reality.
