Prince William and Kate Middleton’s love story nearly ended in 2007 when they took a break from their relationship. According to former royal butler Grant Harrold, William made a special romantic move to win Kate back — a Valentine’s Day dinner he had arranged with Harrold’s help.
The couple met at university and were believed to be perfect for each other, but their relationship hit rocky times before their split in 2007. Harrold explains their reunion dinner was a fresh start that marked a deeper commitment, moving beyond casual dates to something serious.
William showed his seriousness with this new effort, signaling a “reset” in their relationship. What began as boyfriend-girlfriend became a commitment that eventually led to their engagement and marriage, proving the power of thoughtful gestures in love.
