The Prince and Princess of Wales also reflected on their 2007 split during their candid 2010 engagement conversation.
A resurfaced interview from 2010 shows Catherine, Princess of Wales jokingly brushing aside a long-running rumour about having a teenage crush on Prince William.
During the couple’s engagement interview with Tom Bradby for ITV News, filmed at St James's Palace, Catherine was asked whether she had once kept a photo of William on her bedroom wall as a teenager.
Before she could answer, William quickly jumped in with a playful remark, suggesting it was more than just one picture.
“There wasn’t just one,” he joked. “There was like 10 or 20.”
Catherine laughed off the claim and responded with a teasing reply of her own.
“He wishes,” she said, explaining that the poster on her wall was actually of a famous Levi’s model rather than William.
“He wishes. No, I had the Levi’s guy on my wall, not a picture of William, sorry,” she added, prompting William to quip that it might as well have been him. “It was me in Levis, honestly,” he joked.
The couple first met while studying at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. They were friends for more than a year before beginning their relationship in 2003.
Their engagement was announced in 2010 after William proposed during a private trip to Kenya. For the proposal, he presented Catherine with the sapphire and diamond ring that had belonged to his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.
William explained that choosing the ring felt meaningful because it allowed his mother to be part of the milestone in spirit.
During the same interview, the pair also spoke candidly about their brief separation in 2007. Both said the time apart helped them grow individually and ultimately strengthened their relationship.
The couple married at Westminster Abbey in 2011 and now share three children.
