“When they returned together, it was new, it was like a double batch,” said Harold. “Both of them were making more effort … [They had] This romantic dinner for the Valentine’s Day, which they asked me to do, which they did not do before. They did nothing like that before. Suddenly, they wanted to do so. I felt it [William] He used to say, “Look, I’m serious. This will rise. This is what I felt.”

“Of course, a few years later, continued,” Harold participated. “It was like a restoration button, but this was dangerous. The first time, her boyfriend was a friend of her,” Oh, let’s eat here, let’s calm down here, let’s do that. “Suddenly, it was a little more,” I am serious, and I ask you that I am serious. “This is the way I appeared, which was amazing.”

William and Kate went for the first time with their relationship in 2004. Over the years, Harold suggested to William and Kate that they had an official dinner where he could serve them. “The couple laughed,” Harold told them that they did not want a lot of noise. But before Valentine’s Day 2008, William suddenly approached Harold one day and said: “Well, let’s do dinner, if you are happy with that.”
