The pair grew closer after moving into a shared house with two other friends and were said to have started dating in late 2003. They both graduated in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Catherine might be a bit emotional today,&#8221; said CNN royal contributor Mark Saunders. &#8220;She came here (St. Andrews) as just as a normal student and she comes back today as a woman who will one day sit on the throne of England.<\/p>\n<p>  <!--startclickprintexclude--><\/p>\n<p><!--endclickprintexclude--><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This university claims it has the most student marriages of any university in Great Britain.
