Prince William and Kate Middleton have a history that dates all the way back to their college years.

The Prince and Princess of Wales began dating when they were just about 20 years old, and they kept things quiet for a while before making their debut as a couple in 2004.

William has always loved and respected Kate’s family, and when he first met her uncle, he reportedly asked a sweet, hospitable question — presumably to make Kate’s family feel welcome.

Prince William had a sweet question for Kate’s uncle, Gary Goldsmith

William gets along well with Kate’s family. Although Will and Kate went through some trials and tribulations while dating, they always came back to each other, and they have proven that they can tackle anything together over their 20+ years as a couple. At one point, though, William had to meet members of the princess’ family, and he asked a sweet question upon meeting her uncle, Gary Goldsmith.
Goldsmith, who is on Celebrity Big Brother, revealed the first question William asked upon their introduction. “Do you want a cup of tea?” the prince kindly said, according to Express. Goldsmith also said that the first time he and William interacted was one night when Kate was cooking dinner, which might explain why the prince offered him a cup of tea.

Goldsmith has spoken out in favor of William and Kate amid their royal feud with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. He seemingly has a good relationship with his niece and her husband.
