Princess Kate, the darling of Britain, once divulged the enchanting tale of her inaugural encounter with the late Queen Elizabeth, and she did so in splendid solitude.

Although Princess Kate has captured the hearts of the nation, her rendezvous with the esteemed matriarch, her future grandmother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth, was far from ordinary. This extraordinary encounter took place without the presence of her beloved Prince William.

The Prince and Princess of Wales were known to share an unbreakable bond with the revered monarch, and they have previously recounted the tale of Kate's maiden meeting with Elizabeth. This momentous occasion unfolded during a grand family celebration.

Kate and William's love story began to unfold in the year 2002, when they crossed paths as students at the prestigious St Andrews University in Scotland. However, it wasn't until 2008, during the nuptials of Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly, that Kate finally had the opportunity to meet her future grandmother-in-law.

In an interview with ITV's Tom Bradby, shortly after their engagement announcement in 2010, Kate unveiled the details of this extraordinary encounter. She shared, "Well, I first met her at Peter and Autumn's wedding." Kate's words echoed with a sense of wonder and delight.#kingcharles #princeharry #princewilliam #meghanmarkle #princessanne #princeandrew #princeedward #sarahferguson #princesseugenie #princessbeatrice #ladylouisewindsor #princegeorge #princesscharlotte
