A GLIMPSE INTO A ROYAL ROMANCE’S EARLY DAYS

1 min read

A resurfaced video from 2008 is offering a charming look at the early relationship between the Prince and Princess of Wales. The clip, taken at the prince’s Royal Air Force graduation ceremony, captures several unguarded moments between the couple.

In the footage, the princess is seen discreetly entering the ceremony and taking her seat. Her gaze subtly sweeps the room, presumably searching for the then-prince. The scene then shifts to him noticing her arrival, with a prolonged look exchanged between them before she shyly turns away.

Later, while on stage receiving his commission from his father, his attention appears drawn away from the formal proceedings, focusing instead on his future wife, who watches from the audience with a proud smile. The video concludes with the couple departing the event together, arm in arm.

The couple first met as university students in 2001. Their relationship experienced a well-documented temporary separation in 2007, which the princess later reflected upon as a formative period that contributed to her personal growth. They reconciled the following year and became engaged in November 2010.
