Meeting Prince William and Kate
Friday, May 6, 2011 at 12:10PM 
The quaint town of St Andrews Scotland plays host to more than just golf championships.
Prince William and Catherine Middleton, whose wedding was viewed by nearly 2 billion people (talk about nerve wracking).
They both graduated from the town’s prestigious university and in February of this year, returned to their alma mater as one of the main highlights of the university’s 600th (yeah, you read that right, 600 years) anniversary celebrations.
Prince William gave a speech at the university and following that, he and Kate walked up the street greeting students and locals who had gathered to see their prince return. I was fortunate enough to be living in St Andrews at the time and even more privileged to be able to see and photograph them both and even meet the future Queen! My friend, husband and I waited along the barriers for nearly 2 ½ hours to get a prime spot, and let me tell you, all that waiting really paid off! We got to shake hands with Kate, welcome her back to town and snap a few quick photos. (My husband asked her for a kiss, to which she smiled and gracefully declined.)
Even though it was just a brief meeting, just a handshake, I knew it was a big deal. I wasn’t just meeting another university graduate, nor was I just meeting the fiancée of Prince William, I was meeting the future Queen. Even cooler though, is that Kate is very down to earth, polite and kind. She’s exactly what you would hope she’d be. And, she’s just as gorgeous in person as she is in photos! She’s the epitome of class, and I only wish that I could have photographed her wedding!
