If anything, back when these two announced their engagement, fans couldn\u2019t have been more fascinated about Kate Middleton\u2019s becoming royalty through her relationship with Prince William.<\/p>\n<p>As Middleton lives everyone\u2019s dream as a princess and the couple truly share an incredibly loving bond, there have been quite a few viral rumors about how the two must have found and fallen in love with each other. When asked to address one of the same, the Princess didn\u2019t hesitate to debunk the rumor, but proceeded to apologize to the Prince as well.<\/p>\n<p>The time Kate Middleton debunked a viral rumor about her and Prince William<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"low\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-345-1024x680.png\" alt=\"Prince William and Kate Middleton in a still from the interview with ITV News.\" class=\"wp-image-1291976\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" title=\"Kate Middleton Said Sorry to Prince William After Debunking a Viral Rumor About Their Love Story 1\"   loading=\"lazy\"\/>Prince William and Kate Middleton in a still from the interview with ITV News. | Credits: @ITV News \/ YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Back when the pair originally announced their engagement in November 2010 after being together for almost a decade, there was more than just excited buzz surrounding the Prince and Princess of Wales. Amidst people eagerly perking up to know more, there were also quite <a href=\"https:\/\/fandomwire.com\/prince-charles-is-not-prince-harrys-real-father-1-myth-about-princess-dianas-love-life-is-still-pretty-famous\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a few rumors<\/a> about how the pair met and their mysterious royal love story.<\/p>\n<p>One of these very rumors was a pretty viral story about Kate Middleton having a picture of William on her wall as a child. In an interview with ITV News soon after their engagement, she was asked about the same, to which she said, laughing (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2hPi38x90ks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>),<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>He wishes. No, I had the Levi\u2019s guy on my room wall, not a picture of William.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But while she initially said that, Middleton also proceeded to apologize to her then-fiance and now-husband, saying a meek \u2018Sorry!\u2018 to him, laughing. In response, <a href=\"https:\/\/fandomwire.com\/tag\/prince-william\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince William<\/a> jokingly added, \u201cIt was me and Levi\u2019s, honestly,\u201d laughing himself. Guess even members of the Royal Household can\u2019t stop themselves from a fun banter on the cameras, at times!<\/p>\n<p>Kate Middleton \u201cscuttled off feeling very shy\u201d while first meeting Prince William!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"707\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-346.png\" alt=\"Prince William and Kate Middleton \" class=\"wp-image-1292111\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" title=\"Kate Middleton Said Sorry to Prince William After Debunking a Viral Rumor About Their Love Story 3\"   loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"low\"\/>The Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince William and Kate Middleton. | Credits: @princeandprincessofwales \/ IG.<\/p>\n<p>While the rumor about the Princess of Wales being in a relationship with the Prince for a long time before even meeting him was debunked by her, <a href=\"https:\/\/fandomwire.com\/tag\/kate-middleton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kate Middleton<\/a> also admitted just how shy she was to meet her now-husband for the very first time. This was because Prince William hadn\u2019t been there with them right from the beginning of their university years.<\/p>\n<p>During the same interview with ITV News, the princess confessed to turning \u201cbright red\u201d in her first meeting with William, and even \u201cscuttled off\u201d simply because she was too \u201cshy\u201d about meeting him. More than two decades later, and now <a href=\"https:\/\/fandomwire.com\/kate-middleton-is-cool-but-she-will-never-be-as-cool-as-princess-diana-breaking-royal-protocols-to-run-barefoot-in-a-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">she is not only one of the royals but also<\/a> shares three children with the prince.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s exactly what she said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I think I actually went bright red when I met you and sort of scuttled off feeling very shy about meeting you. And, actually, William wasn\u2019t there for quite a bit of the time initially, he wasn\u2019t there for the Fresher\u2019s week, and so, it did take a bit of time for us to get to know each other. But we did become very close friends from quite early on.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, that is an interesting tidbit about the love life of this royal pair, who have come a long way since first meeting at St Andrew\u2019s University back in 2001 and starting to date in 2003 before getting engaged in 2010 and tying the knot a few months later. And for a love affair as ostensibly genuine and wholesome as theirs, we hope it lasts for all eternity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The British royal family is pretty much always the talk of the town, and even more interesting is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":189325,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[5105,7710,519,448],"class_list":{"0":"post-189324","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-royal","9":"tag-royal-families","10":"tag-royal-family","11":"tag-royals"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114693797810507196","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189324\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
