A Look at Kate Middleton’s Previous Relationships Before Meeting Prince William

Before her marriage to Prince William catapulted her into royal fame, Kate Middleton had a few notable relationships. Interestingly, she dated three guys before crossing paths with the future king at St. Andrews University. One of them even looked like a younger version of Prince William. Is that destiny or personal preference?

Either way, their love story kicks off back in their uni days at St. Andrews, where the couple started out as good friends who loved hanging out and cracking jokes before realizing they clicked on more levels than one. Middleton even admitted that she went all shy and red-faced the first time she met Prince William. Classic!

As they spent more time together, they got closer, sharing dorms, cooking meals, and basically being inseparable. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though. They had their ups and downs, like that time they hit pause on their relationship because of all the media frenzy around them. But guess what? They bounced back stronger than ever.

Friendship turned into romance, and before you know it, Prince William’s standing on one knee, popping the question in the middle of Kenya with a ring that once belonged to his mom, Princess Diana. That’s the kind of proposal every girl dreams about.
