Reunion of Prince William and Kate Middleton after their 2007 breakup

Following their 2007 breakup, William and Kate reunited at a fancy dress party, rekindling their romance.

Following their brief breakup in 2007, Prince William and Kate Middleton's journey to reconciliation was marked by significant moments. 

After the split, William celebrated his newfound freedom, but soon found himself missing Kate. Meanwhile, Kate took time to recover in Dublin before returning to the London social scene. Their reunion began at a mutual friend's fancy dress party, where they reconnected and rekindled their romance. 

According to Robert Jobson, "The chemistry between William and Catherine did the rest." They initially kept their reconciliation a secret but were later seen together at public events, such as the Concert for Diana and the wedding of Peter Phillips. This period solidified their relationship, with Kate moving into William's Clarence House flat. 

Three years after their brief split, their engagement was announced, with William giving Kate the late Princess Diana's engagement ring. This reunion paved the way for their marriage in 2011 and their eventual role as the Prince and Princess of Wales.
