The Duke and Duchess started dating in 2003 while both attending the Scottish university, though it's reported that they met in 2001 through mutual friends before they started school. They married in 2011, and now have three children: Prince George, 4, Princess Charlotte, 2, and a son born just a few hours ago (whose name has yet to be revealed).
