The same measures were taken when William proposed to Kate seven years ago. The couple was together for eight years and were the target of many rumors and false claims before the palace made the official announcement on Nov. 16, 2010. Following the announcement, William and Kate posed for photos at St. James’s Palace together and did an interview with Sky News. In the televised interview, William said he had proposed to Kate while on vacation in Kenya in October, one month before the announcement went public.
According to PEOPLE, William and Kate were seen out together in public following the engagement, but Kate didn’t wear the ring out to avoid spilling the secret before the palace made the announcement.
