Princess Catherine's college roommate said she has the “loveliest” memories of the future princess from when they were at school together.
“Sending love to the Princess, the future Queen of England, and my university dormmate!” Warshauer captioned the photo. “This was us at a Hope Street flat party. I have the loveliest college memories with Kate.”
“She is the kindest, most caring, down-to-earth, genuine person, and it’s incredible to see her shining so brightly and inspiring the world with her compassion and courage,” Warshauer added.
Meanwhile, Princess Catherine announced in September she had completed her chemotherapy treatment, saying, “The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family.”
At St. Andrews University, where Catherine famously met Prince William, she shared living spaces with close friends who saw a side of her the public never did. According to one of these confidantes, Catherine was not the glamorous figure people imagine today, but instead a down-to-earth young woman who kept her private life shockingly ordinary.
“She was incredibly focused,” the roommate reportedly said. “Catherine wasn’t out chasing the spotlight, and she certainly wasn’t obsessed with snagging a prince. She was disciplined, warm, and had a quiet confidence about her that made people naturally gravitate toward her.”
The revelation contradicts years of tabloid claims suggesting Catherine schemed her way into royal circles. Instead, the roommate paints a picture of a woman who valued loyalty, kindness, and hard work. Apparently, Catherine spent more time studying and cooking simple meals with friends than plotting her royal future.
But perhaps the most striking detail was how protective Catherine was of her privacy. While other students reveled in drama and attention, she carefully maintained dignity and grace—traits that, in hindsight, made her the perfect match for a man destined to be king. “Even then, she carried herself differently,” the roommate reflected. “You could tell she had a strength about her, even if she never flaunted it.”
Insiders believe these insights reveal why William fell so deeply for Catherine. Far from the image of a social climber, she came across as genuine, grounded, and fiercely loyal—qualities Diana herself would have admired.
Now, as Princess of Wales, Catherine embodies the very traits her roommate once described: composure under pressure, empathy for others, and an ability to rise above criticism. For royal fans, the comments serve as proof that Catherine’s grace was not learned at the palace—it was part of her character all along.
The world may see her as the future queen, but to those who knew her at university, Catherine was always destined for greatness.
