Kate Middleton Fans Say She's Barely Changed After Seeing Recently Unearthed College Photo

Royal fans say the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, hasn't "changed much" after stumbling across an old photo of the public figure from her college days.

A slightly grainy snapshot, posted on Instagram by the royal's university roommate, Laura Warshauer, several months ago—though it's only recently begun to pick up traction online—shows the now-mother of three and her roomie enjoying themselves at a party.

Middleton wore a soft knit cream-colored sweater with a folded turtleneck and her long hair was styled in tight barrel curls. While her face was directed toward the camera in the snap, her gaze was directed over her shoulder, past the field of view, with the flash causing red eyes for her and Warshauer, with each of the young women holding a small piece of a chocolate brownie.

"Sending love to Kate Middleton, the future Queen of England and my university dormmate!" the musician wrote on the social media platform. "This was us at a Hope Street flat party. I have the loveliest college memories with Kate. She is the kindest, most caring, down-to-earth, genuine person, and it’s incredible to see her shining so brightly and inspiring the world with her compassion and courage."

Fans were delighted by the rare glimpse at the princess' past, with commenters gushing, "Love this!!!" and "So sweet 😍."

"Neither of you have changed much, so gorgeous!!!! So happy to see her out and about again with that big smile!" another person wrote at the time it was posted, which came shortly after Middleton's standing ovation at Wimbledon over the summer.

But just this week, someone admitted, "Im curious as to what kind of brownies those are," with another joking, "😂I was asking myself the same question. Space cakes. 🤣🛸🌌."

Following her cancer treatment, Middleton has remained mostly out of the public eye, though she has delighted fans with a few surprise appearances, both in person and online, such as this throwback pic.
