This Video Of A 13-Year-Old Kate Middleton Being Told She’ll Marry A Man Named William Has Me Shook

In one of the most bizarre (but sweetest!) stories to come from the royal family, it seems that Kate Middleton was foretold that she would one day marry a man named William!

A video unearthed by People shows the now Duchess of Cambridge way back in the day as a 13-year-old at St. Andrew’s Preparatory School acting in a play where she’s in conversation with a fortune teller.

The fortune teller explains that she will soon find a handsome, rich man who will fall in love with her and take her away all the way to London, and then he will marry her. Later on, when her character meets this foretold suitor and he asks her to marry him, she screams, “Yes! Yes, dear William!” 

*insert heart eyes*

It’s funny how the things some people do as children come full circle whether intentionally or not. Kate was foretold in a play that she would marry a handsome, rich man named William. She later met Prince William at university and the two went on to marry in 2011 and are now expecting their third child together. Meghan Markle said she wanted to be a princess when she grew up (though it had nothing to do with the royal family at the time), and now we wait with baited breath for May 19th when she and Prince Harry will walk down the aisle at Windsor Castle making her a princess. 

Talk about dreams coming true!
