Prince William Was ‘Relishing Freedom’ After His Breakup with Kate Middleton, Body Language Expert Says

At this point, Prince William and Kate Middleton have been together for more than 20 years. The two first met while attending college at the University of St. Andrews in 2001, and despite that they’re now a happy couple with three young children, the two had their share of ups and downs while dating.

William and Kate dated for nearly 10 years before William finally popped the question, and during that period, they had two known breakups: one in 2004 and another in 2007. The latter reportedly caused William to realize he wanted to spend forever with Kate, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t enjoy his time apart from the now-future queen.
