Kate Middleton and Prince William's Early Romance Exposed by Former Royal Staff Member
Kate Middleton and Prince William's relationship has been called “just like any other boyfriend and girlfriend.”
The Prince and Princess of Wales, who dated for a couple of years before getting married in 2011, loved to play pranks on each other.
Former royal butler Grant Harrold says: “What I liked was that Kate, being a bride and obviously not a member of the family, would be with me and the rest of the staff and she was very polite, friendly, funny and cracked jokes.
“I remember there were days I had off when I ran an errand or dropped something off at Highgrove. [House] and they were close, so you just caught up to them.”
The former butler added: “It was always fun and nice that I got on so well with them because then they would ask me to travel the country with them.
He continued: “When my phone rang and it was William, all my friends said that was cool, but to me it was normal. That was the relationship I had with them. I think it was really special and it's not uncommon, actually, because “In a private home you are expected to get along with the family. As for the younger members of the family, you are not their employee, but you end up having a relationship with them as well.”
