Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, the pal said: “All Catherine ever wanted was a husband, a house in the country, loads of kids, a dog and a kitchen with an Aga.
“Becoming a member of the Royal Family, thrust into the limelight, is the last thing she would have wanted. But she fell in love with William, who just happened to be heir to the throne.
“She married William despite his position, not because of it.”
Both William and Kate, who are celebrating their 10-year wedding anniversary this week, had taken gap years before finding themselves in the same halls of residence and studying Art History at St Andrews University in 2001 - although William later switched to a Geography degree.
