Complete story — includes the ending
During Christmas in 1996, a teenage Kate Middleton and her mother Carole Middleton have a brief encounter with William and Diana. Noticing that Kate has a crush on William, Carole reminds her daughter that her husband's grandmother was friendly with the Queen's aunt and that his father was an RAF pilot who'd flown with Prince Philip. Three years later, William graduates from Eton, and after taking a gap year, enrols at the University of St Andrews to study art history. He notices Kate, a popular student, doing the same course, and becomes attracted to her. He strikes up a conversation with her, which initially goes well, but then accidentally offends her, causing her to storm off. He later apologises, but is disappointed to find she has a boyfriend. Kate takes her boyfriend to meet her family for Christmas, but notices her mother's reaction. Kate accuses her mother of trying to set her up with William, by suggesting she change universities to St Andrews and participating in the same gap year activities as William. Carole tells Kate that William is contemplating leaving university. Kate sends a text message to William asking him not to leave.
