Is this real life? Prince William and Princess Kate!

Now let me tell you, when I first heard the news that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were coming to Cambridge for the first time since their marriage, I literally squealed out loud. I mean, who wouldn’t? This is Prince William and Kate that we are talking about! Yes, I was one of those girls who sighed as I watched the Royal Kiss and hoped to have a prince for myself one day. (But I mean, let’s be real…I’m pretty serious!)

The entire Cambridge community was also excited to hear this news and it was on the newspaper for days. Finally it was revealed where they were going to be and what they would be doing. We had classes this day, but thankfully after working things out we were able to make it out to the city centre where William and Kate were going to be waving to the crowd.
On the morning of November 28th, I woke up extra early for classes. I couldn’t contain my excitement. I brought everything I needed to my classes so that I can peace out as soon as class ended; which is exactly what I did.
All of C-90 walked as fast as we could to the market square, and there were already so many people there. After waiting patiently for about 30 minutes, they finally came out!
I couldn’t believe that I was seeing a real life prince and princess with my bare eyes!

The entire crowd cheered with excitement and many were yelling out their names. This was probably the most spirited I have seen of the people here!

Duchess Kate is known for her great sense of fashion and I’ve heard that the girls here love it and it was so true! There was a group of girls near me and I heard them mentioning many times how cute her ankle boots were and that they wanted it. They also couldn’t get enough of her coat. And I do have to say, her outfit was very classy and I loved it too!
A couple other girls and I tried moving towards an area that we thought they might walk past. This was the closest I got to Prince William!

He was quite a handsome man! One of the girls in C-90 were able to shake hands with him and I couldn’t have been more jealous! She definitely was a lucky one.
One of the great things besides actually being able to see William and Kate was to see how many people were there and how excited everyone was. It was so nice seeing an entire town come together and celebrate this historical moment. It was such a memorable experience for me as well and I was thrilled to be a part of this Cambridge history. This was definitely a once in a lifetime experience and although I was jealous of my friend for being able to shake Prince William’s hand, I knew that I was also very lucky to be able to have this experience. Who else can say that they have studied abroad and was able to see the country’s prince? I do hope though, that they will be coming back more often after this time, and the future Cambridge groups will also have opportunities to see them as well!

 

Cheers until next time!

 

On a side note, it was released a couple days after this visit that Kate is pregnant with her first baby. So this means that we were able to see William, Kate, AND the future heir to the throne! haha. Definitely a cool experience.
