Kate Middleton’s fashion show has long been credited as the moment that she finally hooked the attention of William, Prince of Wales. However, “The Crown” took things a little further. For example, real-life Prince William is said to have been enamored by Kate’s beauty and figure. According to Vanity Fair, William reportedly shared his attraction for Kate with his friend Fergus. “Wow, Fergus, Kate’s hot!” William said. One of Kate’s fellow models also supported this story with the outlet. “Kate was great on the catwalk,” they shared. “She and everyone, including William, knew it.” Later, the future couple socialized at a party where Kate eventually skirted William’s advance. She was, after all, in a relationship at the time.
In “The Crown,” however, their post-fashion show interaction resulted in much more. The fictional William showered Kate with compliments at the party. “That was quite the outfit earlier,” he said. Kate responded by saying, “Did you like it?” He replied, “Like? You looked incredible.” Kate also admitted to William that she’d worn the risqué number to grab his attention. “I just felt like doing something drastic to know if you were interested,” she said. After William made a lofty declaration admitting that he was “bordering on obsessed” with her, they shared a film-worthy kiss. Another major detail that “The Crown” got wrong, or rather plainly ignored, is the fact that Queen Elizabeth II’s mother didn’t actually pass away during this outing, but rather a few days after.
