Princess Kate<\/a> once had the perfect response after being told she was lucky to have Prince William<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The royal, 43, has been married to the Prince of Wales since 2011.<\/p>\n

Claudia claimed that when a friend told Kate she was lucky to have William, she immediately replied: “He’s lucky to have me.”<\/p>\n

The quote was first shared in Kate Middleton: Princess in Waiting.<\/p>\n

It was meant to reflect Kate’s quiet confidence and strong sense of self, even in the early days of her relationship.<\/p>\n

A relationship built on respect

Kate and William met at the University of St Andrews in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n

They began dating after forming a close friendship during their time in halls.<\/p>\n

Their relationship attracted attention early on, but both chose to keep things private while studying.<\/p>\n

They announced their engagement in 2010 and married in April 2011.<\/p>\n

The ceremony took place at Westminster Abbey and was watched by millions around the world.<\/p>\n

Over the years, William, 42, has spoken openly about how proud he is of Kate.<\/p>\n

Most recently, he marked her birthday in January with a rare personal message.<\/p>\n

The post read: “To the most incredible wife and mother. The strength you’ve shown over the last year has been remarkable.<\/p>\n

“George, Charlotte, Louis and I are so proud of you. Happy Birthday, Catherine. We love you. W.”<\/p>\n

The message was shared shortly after Kate revealed she was in remission following her cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n

It showed the couple’s continued support for one another during a difficult year.<\/p>\n

A sweet Valentine’s Day moment
