"We had a little private time away together with some friends and I just decided that it was the right time really. We had been talking about marriage for a while so it wasn't a massively big surprise. I took her up somewhere nice in Kenya and I proposed."

William also spoke about the first time he laid eyes on his future wife. "It's a long time ago now, Tom, I'm trying to wrack my brain about it all," he confessed. "We obviously met at university - at St Andrews - we were friends for over a year first and it just sort of blossomed from then on.

The Prince continued: "She's got a really naughty sense of humour, which kind of helps me because I've got a really dry sense of humour, so it was good fun, we had a really good laugh and then things happened."

Asked what her first impression of William was, Kate admitted: "Well I actually think I went bright red when I met you and sort of scuttled off, feeling very shy about meeting you.
"Actually William wasn't there for quite a bit of the time initially, he wasn't there for Freshers Week, so it did take a bit of time for us to get to know each other but we did become very close friends from quite early on."
