Kate met Prince William during their university days at St Andrews and the pair had a blossoming relationship, but it wouldn't be until years later that she met the Queen.
The Princess of Wales had a close relationship with the Queen before she died aged 96 on the 8 September.
First meeting William and Kate first started dating while both attending St Andrews University in Scotland between 2001 and 2005. Royal expert Katie Nicholl claims Her Majesty always liked Kate but was worried she didn't have an identity of her own before she married into the Royal Family. "The Queen once remarked Kate doesn't do very much so I think she had a fairly long entrance to the Royal family."
According to author and royal commentator Katie, the Queen allowed Kate to take photos while at Balmoral, knowing how much she loved photography. It may not sound like a big deal to the average person, but as Katie explains this simply wasn't the done thing usually. But it's not just the tiara that Kate has borrowed from the Queen's personal collection over the years. She's also worn her Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara, her Lotus Flower tiara, a pair of sapphire earrings and one of her pearl chokers.Kate has also given Her Majesty sweet gifts - including a touching homemade present for Christmas. The Duchess revealed how she had been in a pickle over what to get the Queen.
