Although they form one of the most admired couples, not everyone agreed with their love relationship. Find out below the embarrassing nickname Kate Middleton received from Prince William’s friends after they found out about their feelings for each other.
The embarrassing nickname received by Kate Middleton
Kate Middleton and Prince William form one of the most notable couples in the British Royal House. The two met during their student days, when they were enrolled at the University of St. Andrews, of Scotland. At first they were friends, after which they decided to give free rein to their feelings.
Concrete details about how Kate Middleton and Prince William went from being friends to being lovers are not known in the public domain. What is certain is that they were both students and met for the first time in a relatively private setting. Some voices claim that the partners met around 2001 or 2002.
At the time, both figures in the British Royal House lived in the same residence, St Saviour’s Hall, attached to the university where they studied art history. They had many mutual friends with whom they socialized and spent their free time. 2003 would have been the year Kate Middleton and Prince William decided to become a couple.
However, the love story between Kate Middleton and Prince William was not accepted by everyone. The romance was confirmed in 2004 by the British Royal Family after the couple were photographed in Switzerland while on holiday. The relationship of the two brought the princess many nicknames, one of which was really embarrassing.
What does the nickname given to the princess mean
Not everyone looked favorably on the love relationship between Kate Middleton and Prince William. Some of the latter’s friends are said to have been genuinely disturbed by the couple’s romance, so much so that they assigned the princess a mean nickname. Some friends of the son of King Charles called Kate Middleton “doors to manual”.
The phrase “doors to manual” refers to the fact that Kate Middleton’s mother worked for a time as a flight attendant for British Airways. The sequence is used by the pilot-in-command when the aircraft lands after a flight and the doors are unlocked by the crew members. Attendants must check that the doors are in the correct position.
