According to the Daily Mail , he said in , "I had such an amazing experience, where I got to see [Ian] darting an elephant for research purposes, and I must have been 16, 17, something like that.

There was plenty of socialising [between pupils at both schools] back then, and they were known to each other", said a senior source close to the Middletons. "I understand he invited her on a few things." In an interview to mark their engagement in , the couple was asked about the moment they met.
Kate was able to recall the moment straight away, but William struggled to remember and said he'd have to "wrack his brains".
