Addressing their split in their engagement interview, William said: "We were both very young. It was at university, we were sort of both finding ourselves as such and being different characters and stuff, it was very much trying to find our own way and we were growing up."
Kate added: "At the time, I wasn't very happy about it but actually it made me a stronger person."
