According to sources, the future King of England allegedly made Kate “audition” for her future role as a senior royal.
A royal expert Robert Lacey, while speaking on the new ITV special, The Day Will and Kate Got Married, claimed it was necessary for Wills to test Kate as part of his role as future king.
“It’s been said that William was auditioning Catherine for her future role,” Robert claimed, before adding that he believes the rumor to be true.
“William is the future King of Britain and the Commonwealth and, like it or not, part of his job was to choose a consort who would do the job well,” he added.
William and Kate had reportedly met as students in the St Andrews University, but the pair reportedly had a rocky relationship in their early years together. After a split in 2007, the royal couple managed to patch things up and later getting married in 2011.
