<p id=”par-1_42″>Prince William and the Princess of Wales (<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/dont-be-fooled-this-is-what-kate-middleton-was-really-like-in-school.html/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>formerly known as Kate Middleton</a>) will celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary on April 29. The traditional 15th-anniversary gift is crystal, which symbolizes the clarity, elegance, and durability of the marriage spanning a decade and a half. </p>
<p id=”par-2_26″>But what does a future king give his bride to commemorate that day? Well, someone who used to work for the royals has an idea. </p>
<p id=”par-3_71″>Grant Harrold was <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/former-royal-butler-reveals-amazed-king-charles-infamous-pen-incident.html/?swcfpc=1″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>King Charles’ personal butler</a> from 2004 to 2011. During his time working for the now-monarch, Harrold’s duties also included those of valet, housekeeper, house manager, and driver. During his time working for the king, he also looked Prince Harry, Prince William, and Kate whenever they stayed at Highgrove house. Since leaving the royal household, he’s become one of the U.K.’s leading etiquette experts, a best-selling author, and a royal commentator.</p>

<p id=”par-4_33″>Now, Harrold is sharing what William and Kate were like in the early days of their relationship and what the future king will likely give <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/royal-commentator-says-husbands-should-not-prince-william-kate-middleton-public-avoid-tension.html/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>his wife</a> on their 15th wedding anniversary. </p>
<p id=”par-5_56″>Speaking on behalf of <a href=”https://www.heartbingo.co.uk/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Heart Bingo Online</a>, Harrold told Showbiz Cheat Sheet, “I think jewelry is always going to be something that William will probably give Kate in some shape or form. With it being their crystal anniversary, the first gifts that come to mind are a pair of crystal glasses or a crystal vase. </p>
<p id=”par-6_59″>“William is a bit of a traditionalist like his father — so if it’s their crystal anniversary, he will definitely focus on this and give Kate something relating to crystals in some form. If you can buy crystal jewelry – potentially rings – this might be something that Prince William will look into. Jewelry always makes a great gift.”</p>

<p id=”par-7_63″>As for what their relationship was like when he worked for them, Harrold shared, “They were just fun to be around and were like any other couple. They would have a laugh and you could have a joke with them in the early days. They weren’t married at that point, so I was lucky to get to know them when they were dating.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_75″>He recalled, “I remember the day I met Prince William for the first time and shook his hand. He was always really lovely, and I’d like to think we had this close connection. With Kate, she was just fun to be around … I remember when they <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/queen-elizabeth-stepped-during-prince-william-kates-breakup-going-their-separate-ways.html/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>briefly split in 2007</a>, I was horrified because I really liked Kate and got on well with her. When they did get back together, I was really pleased.</p>
<p id=”par-9_73″>“The thing I remember is, she was caring — asking how I was and how my family were. In parts of conversations, we’d be giggling and laughing. I feel lucky that I was allowed to be there and be part of that … Their relationship has developed so beautifully and they’re the best of friends. I compare them to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/queen-elizabeth-ii-dead-british-monarch-dies-96.html/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>the late Queen Elizabeth</a> and Prince Philip. They are a younger version of them.”</p>
