** Nostalgic Snap: Kate Middleton’s College Days Unveiled by Former Roommate**

In a heartwarming throwback, Laura Warshaur, Kate Middleton's former college roommate, recently shared an unseen photograph that captures the spirit of their youthful days at university.

The image, posted on Instagram in July, prompted a wave of nostalgia as Warshaur reflected on the “loveliest college memories” she had with the future queen.

The snapshot takes us back to their time together at St. Salvator's Hall, located within the historic grounds of the University of St. Andrews.

Kate, now 42, attended this esteemed institution from 2001 to 2005, where she not only pursued her studies but also met Prince William, setting the stage for their enduring romance.

This particular photo was snapped during a lively house party at the shared residence of Kate and William on Hope Street, where they roomed together in their second year.

In the image, Kate sports a cozy cream turtleneck and a simple blue scrunchie, her natural curls framing her face as she enjoys some brownie bites alongside Warshaur.

Their smiles radiate joy, echoing the carefree spirit of their college years.

Warshaur's heartfelt caption celebrated Kate's journey, stating, “Sending love to Kate Middleton, the future Queen of England and my university roommate!” She reminisced about their flat party, expressing her affection for the cherished memories they created together.

Describing Kate, Warshaur highlighted her genuine character, calling her the “kindest, most caring, down-to-earth” person.

It's no surprise that she finds it inspiring to witness her friend shine so brightly in the public eye, spreading compassion and courage across the globe.

This nostalgic post comes just months after Princess Kate revealed her battle with cancer, having been diagnosed earlier this year.

Following a significant abdominal surgery in January, she had stepped away from public engagements until resurfacing at important events during the summer, including Trooping the Colour and Wimbledon.

In a promising update, Princess Kate announced in September that she had completed her chemotherapy treatment.

Since then, she has gradually re-entered the public sphere, making appearances with Prince William, including an outing in Southport and an upcoming appearance at Remembrance Sunday.

Reflecting on their university days, Warshaur, who is now a singer-songwriter, recalls how she witnessed the budding romance between Kate and William.

As friends turned roommates at 13A Hope Street, they created lasting memories in their two-story home equipped with security features fit for royalty.

Despite living on separate floors, it was in their modest kitchen where Prince William found opportunities to impress Kate with his culinary skills, often leading to playful moments where Kate would swoop in to save his cooking mishaps.

After both graduated in 2005, Prince William proposed to Kate five years later, solidifying a love story that began in their early college years.

A day before their royal wedding in April 2011, Warshaur fondly recalled the magical essence of their relationship, noting that they had remained unchanged since their dormitory days.

Warshaur vividly remembers the first time she encountered Kate, captivated by her charm.

She observed that when Prince William was around, he was just another guy among friends, free of royal pretense.

Those simpler moments, like raiding the cookie stash, make for delightful anecdotes from their shared experiences.

As the anniversary of William and Kate's wedding approaches, Warshaur reflects on their journey with a song she wrote for them titled “To Will and Kate, Meet Me at Exit 109.” Though she may have lost touch with the couple over the years, the fond memories of their college days remain vivid, filled with innocence and genuine romance.
