"William was on one team with a male friend and Kate was on the other team with a male friend and there was lots of banter and a lot of laughing but both sides fought every point.

"They looked good at it and did not come across as beginners."

Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement in 2010.The couple dated for 11 years before their wedding with an on-and-off love dynamic.

Speaking about their split before wedding, Kate admitted her feelings in a 2007 interview.
