It turns out that the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, did not have her first brush with royalty when she met her now-husband Prince William in university, but rather years prior to attending university when she entered into a learning programme set up by Prince Philip.
Prince Philip founded the programme, which was called the Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) award programme, which equipped students of a certain age with confidence, resilience, and the skills they needed to make the most out of life.

After entering into the programme and participating in various volunteering and outdoor activities, Middleton finally received her golden medal award, which was presented to her by Prince Philip himself.
In a statement shared by Kate, she disclosed how helpful she found the programme and also reflected on some of her hardest and most memorable moments she experienced while working towards her DofE award.
