Before becoming husband and wife, Prince William and Kate Middleton reportedly used code names for each other. According to excerpts from the book 'Catherine, The Princess of Wales,' the couple would often escape to various locations such as Highgrove, Sandringham, or a cottage on the Balmoral estate during their time as students at the University of St. Andrews in the early 2000s.
They would occasionally check into hotels using the names Mr. and Mrs. Smith, a reference to the action-comedy film 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Another alias used by William was 'Steve' when he first started college to blend in and be more inconspicuous.
During a vacation in the Seychelles, they disguised themselves as 'Martin and Rose Middleton.' The couple also confirmed a brief breakup during their university years, with William mentioning that it was a period of self-discovery and growth.
In 2010, Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement, reflecting on how their past challenges had made them stronger individuals. Despite the ups and downs, their relationship ultimately blossomed into a lasting marriage that captured the world's attention.
