He grew up scrutinized under the golds of Buckingham Palace;
her, free in the Berkshire countryside.
He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and it had no blue blood.
Prince William and Kate Middleton are the most watched royal couple on the planet, but also the most unexpected.
They might never have met: William would have married a Welsh baroness, and Kate, an investment banker.
But the commoner's path crossed that of the prince, and they turned it into a highway, heading for the throne of England.
In this mini-series devoted to Kate and William, Pascaline Potdevin, head of service at Madame Figaro, looks back on the love story of this sensational and revolutionary couple.
How Kate Middleton, at 15, was able to integrate the close circle of the future king of England?
How did they find themselves roommates in Scotland, in the shadow of the media radars?
And in what context did they separate, after 5 years of relationship?
