The courtship at St Andrews will be a big plot point in season six, if paparazzi shots are anything to go by
Back in the early Seventies, Nasa decided that its Voyager space telescope would carry with it a gold-plated record full of the sights, sounds and feelings of Earth.
Yes, as we’ve got closer to the present day the whole thing has felt more and more Hallmark in its look and feel. But now that filming for the final season is underway it’s a reminder that this is a chance – indeed,’s final chance – to etch something else in the golden record. Part of that etching will be Prince William and Kate Middleton’s courtship at St Andrews university just after the millennium.
Theirs is, on one level – on nearly every conceivable level, in fact – an insane and strange and completely abnormal kind of a relationship. But on another of those levels, it’s intensely normal. They met in university halls, for one thing. So far, so 2001 couple goals. But the uni experience is a big part of why we are the way we are. Last academic year there were 2.86 million students at higher education establishments in the UK, and 680,000 of them came from around the world to study here. Obviouslyisn’t a documentary, but the very least it could do is show Americans what a real British uni experience is.
