It was a night that Prince William will never forget. As the world awaited his royal wedding to Kate Middleton, the young prince found himself wide awake. In the documentary Elizabeth: Queen, Wife, Mother, William shares the unforgettable experience: “The crowds were singing and cheering all night long. With the excitement, my own nervousness, and everyone singing, I managed to sleep for about half an hour,” he revealed. Sticking to royal tradition, William and Kate spent their final night as an unwed couple in separate accommodations.
At just 28 years old, Prince William was brimming with excitement on the eve of his wedding. Staying at Clarence House with his brother, Prince Harry, father, Prince Charles, and stepmother, Duchess Camilla, the future king couldn’t help but share his joy with the world. Just before his sleepless night, William surprised fans with an impromptu meet-and-greet. Shaking hands with hundreds of well-wishers camped outside Buckingham Palace, the prince charmingly told the crowd, “All I’ve got to do is get the lines right.” It was a heartfelt moment that showcased his genuine connection with the people.
