What Prince William said when he first saw Kate Middleton in a see-through dress, and how she looked that night

Kate Middleton wowed Britain's Prince William when they attended the University of St. Andrews together in 2002. The future princess, then an ordinary student, joined the DONT WALK charity fashion show to mark the six-month anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the Twin Towers in New York.

She wore a see-through dress showing off her black underwear and walked the runway. Prince William, 19, who was sitting in the front row, was so taken by the student's looks that he told his friend Fergus Boyd, "Wow, Kate is hot." This was reported by the Daily Mail with a reference to the book "Battle of the Brothers" by Robert Lacey.

According to the author, William, through a friend, secretly paid £200 ($264) for a front row seat. Therefore, almost no one was aware of the prince's presence.

The source writes that Kate Middleton that night decided to wear a skirt, which was created by textile student Charlotte Todd. But the future princess tried to experiment and make it a mini-dress. Such a style was frank and unusual for a young student. Her usual clothes were white shirts, jeans and sweaters.

It should be noted that in 2011, her dress was auctioned off for £78,000 ($103,000).

That particular night was a landmark night for Kate and William - they met even though they were both in relationships with other people. However, this did not prevent the prince at the after-party to make the first step and propose dating. The girl then refused the 19-year-old young man, but agreed to maintain friendly contact.

It did not last long, because after a few weeks they became a couple. About the relationship became known in 2005, when the newspapers appeared in common photos of vacation at a ski resort. And in 2007, the lovers parted, but for a short period of time.

Three years later, the world learned that the British royal family will take Kate Middleton under its wing. The couple announced their engagement in November 2010, and married in a grand ceremony at Westminster Abbey in April of the following year.
