    I live and work in the area and can confirm there were no paparazzi around. If any had shown up they would've been marched out of town by the locals who were all very protective of him and of the reputation of the town. Everyone has a story of bumping into him in a store or bar but nobody stared. They just got on with their own things. Scots don't tend to put people on pedestals, they treat everyone the same regardless of station or title. St Andrews was the perfect place for William to attend uni and it speaks volumes that his cousin is there now. And yes, I've bumped into her too

      Universities are usually their own fiefdoms. They tolerate strangers as they often have visitors, exchange student scholarships but in moderation and there are unwritten rules. If people step out of line, the campus police might swoop in swiftly and not only for Royals and celebrities. Or security ... Whatever it is called. Strangers stand out easily.
      Obnoxious strangers like paparazzi even more so.

      People who have never visited such places or lived there can´t understand. I´ve never experienced locals protecting the privacy of royals, celebrities or VIP, only places like Dubrovnik where famous people can visit without being bothered, because nobody gives a shit. It´s a different motivation, but has almost the same effect. I am glad for William that the motivation in St. Andrews was different and even extended to actual protection. This means a lot for every young person in the public eye studying at St. Andrews.

      Agree 10000000%…. Never in the all the years and nonsense Ive ready about Katherine’s family was there any mention of her mother being Kris Kardashian ish…. She seems like a lovely caring woman who has had a wonderful marriage and great children…. That a Prince fell in love with her daughter is a testament of, of course to her beauty, as well as the kindness and class that Katherine has.. Netflicks sucks when they embellish any story they want for ratings….shame on them but after the Sussex debacle they only care about $$$$$$$

    I am from central Scotland and was in st Andrews alot in that time period as i was dating a local girl and did bump into him and his mates we had no clue who Catherine was at the time and probably was there. What i witnessed was people treating him as normal as we could i do remember nearly all Scottish people wanted him to be able to enjoy life be safe and above all take a good memory of his time up north like his father and grandmother before him. It is important to the Scottish people on how certain people see us and we wanted to protect him and he was extremely safe i saw that for myself. I bumped into him early in the morning a few times on his own or with a classmate and would nod say morning on the passing it just seemed totally normal.

If you take into account all of the people W & C would meet during school, social circles, family circles, travels, social/ royal engagements, etc either one could have found a partner. Just b/c the were friends/flatmates, it doesn't mean it would go any further.

      Yes, you get a train to Edinburgh, then a train to St Andrews then it's a very long walk from the station. It's remoteness and it's academuc excellence made it uniquely perfect for Prince William. The Scottish people are different than the English ( I'm British) in that they don't have that hideous class system and aren't into doffing caps or having an old boy's network like the toffs in England. Being English I can vouch for the fact that after that press conference on the first day we never saw him on any media

Not one person in there phoned the press, posted on social media, took a photo….. he left and we all chatted and thought wow that was surreal and went on with life. His private life was private.

    In general, young people are innocent and uncorrupted, they are interested in their own lives, they are not calculating or nosy and they are not small minded. Any healthy young college kids would have acted exactly as your guest described, i.e. her description is far more realistic and believable than the story told in The Crown. As for the smear of Carol Middleton, it's nonsense and reflects on the poor sense of values and characters of the show's writers rather than on those of Carol Middleton.

      We'll never know how much the order the two sons were born has affected them. Is it a coincidence that Elizabeth and Margaret displayed similar personalities? One's personality is not all down to that of course. But, it's well known that a child who gets all the attention often does very well. The child who knows she'll always be second best and gets much less to no attention does tend to act out and be dramatic.

      I think false eyelashes look ridiculous on everyone who wears them. They scream fake, fake, fake. I suppose they might have their place for a theatre stage performance when the audience is far away. But for TV or movie work, with close ups, forget the fake lashes and just do a good swipe of mascara and call it a day.

      I like this comment because it is PLAUSIBLE ago me that Carole had some role in helping her daughter be placed at the right place at the right time. It’s also possible that Catherine herself Wanted to make that calculation. No guarantees that it would work. You can see by the continued closeness of the Middleton family of that children Trust their parents. The way Carole is portrayed in The Crown is bizarre because The Crown’s Catherine still trusts her mother even though she is somewhat emotionally abused and manipulated by her.

It would have been enough u spend 10 minutes about what she confirmed as a summary. This was a low point of ur guest. Next time just share to your audience a summary if what's true or not via someone who attended St Andrew's. Not necessary to bring her in if she's soooo paranoid that she'll be identified.

    The same happens around Balmoral, in the local towns and villages, when the royal family are there. The Scottish people respect others, whether the royal family or celebrities like Billy Connolly who was often spotted out and about when I lived in Aberdeenshire, I am not Scottish.
    This respect was shown perfectly when we saw the Scots on their turned out horses, in their spotless tractors and those on foot lining the route to quietly show this. Like the Princess Royal I was deeply moved watching this.

    Reading comments from others who were at St Andrew when William was there and comments from Brits about how the RF's privacy is respected by the general public together with agreements with the Press whilst royal children are in education etc (which, incidentally is strictly adhered to) it makes a complete nonsense of Meghan's claims her children would be constantly under the scrutiny of the Press and papped at every turn had they remained in the U.K.
    The irony being Harry knows this to be the truth but willingly went along with the deception. Yet again an example of Meghan feeding false information to her fellow Americans.
    Generally speaking the British public respect the right of the royals to a private life and especially so when it comes to the royal children and young adults. We know they are not celebrities. People will happily allow them to go about their business unmolested and would never approach them or speak to them unless invited to do so and that is how it should be.

    Today with his children he has a similar type of deal with the press that Willam had in college. He did an interview and then was left alone. That deal still stands for his children when they go to school. If you notice when taking their children to school on the first day. They allow a few cameras, and thats it. If the press violates that, they will not be invited to future events.

    There was an agreement with the media to leave him alone at school and uni - the press were respectful because the RF make themselves available at specific times. If you try to stay too private as a public figure, you will get the opposite. He and Harry took a diving course as young adults/teens near where I lived at the time, and they were eating Macdonalds sitting on a kerb in the car park - no one bothered them. We were also aware they always had security!!

They truly fell in deep love with each other and knew that if they didn’t decide to stay together and weather all that came at them then they would always have that emptiness in their hearts as they were always meant for each other.

Great podcast and thank you to your friend on spilling what actually happened instead of some of that ott nonsense The Crown likes to use in their creative license.

    As someone in one of the realms, I think most people in the UK, the realms, and the Commonwealth knew/know that there was an agreement that the media would leave the children alone until they had finished their schooling (including University). The public felt they should be left alone too, and still do to a large extent. I think the Crown worked on the assumption that American viewers are ignorant about the Monarchy and the British way of life and think the US audience is gullible enough to accept the fantasises they make up.

      I did not watch the Crown after the first couple of seasons which were great. But they re-dramatize rumors from back in the day and amplify them from thing is nobody has any way of knowing, except for the one or two people that were in the room. I didn’t want to watch as it got closer to current day as it was interesting to learn about some of the historical actual facts of the time around Queen Elizabeth’s early reign and before even. But that’s how I wanted to remember it. As it went on, it just got more trashy.
      Also, I was very fond of the first round of actors and absolutely adored Claire Foy. I didn’t love that whole change every year or two. I’m not sure if I watched 2 full years or 3 full years but I don’t think I made it to the fourth unless maybe one episode or something.
      Plus, I have not turned in the Netflix app on since HNM mockumentary.

    I was Will and Kate’s neighbor at St Andrew’s and I agree, I never saw any paparazzi and if a student asked for an autograph that would be looked down upon by all the other students. He seriously could walk around alone and no one bothered him. We were protective, he was one of us. He was just Wills, not Prince William. We did know he was with Kate when the rest of the world thought he dating blondes who the media said looked like his mother. I never even noticed his police except for their cars here and there.
    St A’s is a magical place, those of us who went there are so lucky.
    The thing that was funny was that the library and the union have been completely renovated since we were there. You could tell those scenes were shot in the university but they looked different and that threw me. Also, don’t feel bad for Will he had a close group of friends he was with a lot.

  • @rutholdfield3679

    Great interview!! Your mystery guest is absolutely right, gentle if self-conscious avoidance is definitely the British way - we tea-drinkers are taught from birth that it's rude to stare! I went to a similar UK University (Durham), where minor lords and "Honourables", the children of prominent politicians, young sports stars and even a few former juvenile TV actors were known, given space and ABSOLUTELY NEVER approached. Fan-girling would've been uncool, embarrassing and UTTERLY UTTERLY common!!! We lesser mortals usually recognised the celebs but "went out of our way treat them normally", which is a bit of a contradiction; I totally understand that thing about joining the longer queue so as not to crowd PW or look like you were sucking up to him! Those who were genuine "rock stars" never even mentioned what was special about them (I was friends with one girl for a year before finding out she was an aristocrat!) I'm just so glad William was officially "ignored" at St Andrews and allowed to get on with his life. How typical that The Crown got it so wrong ...

    Perhaps St.Andrews should leave a dignified comment, about how they value the privacy of all pupils there, within the building and in the surrounding grounds. To scotch this rubbish portrayal. And yes, poor Carol Middleton. But like the RF, theyre also dignified and would probably not touch any defamation accusations.

Why people stop to believe in love and in everything see complot and strategi? Do Carol as well is queen Leticia, mom who made plans how to marry king Philip of Spain and she was journalist, divorced, commoner and Untyroyalist?

Also, after Princess Diana died, rules were put in place with media to avoid the paparazzi effect, so much so that, at least in England, the paparazzi were almost non existent. Which is why Harry and Meghan had a hard time getting footage of being chased by them, ie. A guy on a bike. LOL

I'm a 1st generation American and my parents are British. My father grew up at Kinloss on the military base in Scotland and I have family that live in Edinburgh and Aberdeen so growing up I visited often - including St. Andrews! The people there are amazing and truly respect each other and it does not surprise me that William and Catherine were left alone and treated normally. I'm also not surprised it was a bit awkward where people didn't want to make William feel uncomfortable; it's definitely part of the culture there.
