We do not necessarily remember it, but after five years of relationship, from their meeting at the University of Saint Andrews to their first steps as an overexposed couple in London, Kate Middleton and Prince William separate.
The breakup lasted 10 weeks and, if we don't know much about it, we know - all the same - that it gave birth to a whole new couple, more serious, more statutory, on the rails of what we already planning as the wedding of the century.
The one we nicknamed "Waity Katie" becomes "Perfect Kate", and the princely couple, the new addiction of the English.
In this mini-series devoted to Kate and William, Pascaline Potdevin, head of department at Madame Figaro, looks back on the love story of this sensational and revolutionary couple.
How did they go through the ordeals of engagement and marriage, thirty years after the failure of Charles and Diana?
What was Kate Middleton's secret to blending in so well with the Windsors?
What were behind the scenes of the wedding seen by 2 billion viewers on April 29, 2011?
