Kate Middleton’s college roommate, Laura Warshauer, shared a rare photo from their days at the University of St. Andrews, showing a playful glimpse of the Princess of Wales before her royal life. Warshauer posted the image in July, captioning it with warm words about Middleton, calling her “the kindest, most caring, down-to-earth, genuine person.”
The picture, taken at a Hope Street flat party, features Middleton in a beige turtleneck, holding a brownie and smiling alongside Warshauer. The two shared fond memories from their time at St. Andrews, where Middleton, now 42, met and fell in love with Prince William. After a brief breakup in 2007, William proposed in 2010, and the couple married the following year.
Warshauer posted the photo while Middleton was battling cancer, and in September, Middleton shared the good news on X, announcing she had completed chemotherapy and was cancer-free. Reflecting on her recovery journey, Middleton expressed gratitude and a renewed sense of hope as she looks forward to more public engagements.
