Why Prince William Was Dubbed As A ‘Ladies Man’ Before Dating Kate Middleton

Prince William has been dubbed as a ladies’ man, especially during his time at the University of St. Andrews. The Duke of Cambridge met his wife, Kate Middleton while studying there.

In the book “William And Catherine,” royal author Andrew Morton discussed the early days of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s relationship. He said that there was something about the future king that drew his schoolmates to him other the fact that he’s a member of the royal family.

“William was known for his roving eye, which would cast around a room checking out the female talent, while he appeared to be absorbed in his companion’s conversations,” Morton said. “Everyone thinks Harry is the naughty one. Not true. William is a ladies’ man,” he added.

The second in line to the throne’s then-girlfriend Kate was dubbed as “Beautiful Kate” while studying at the University of St. Andrews. One of the royal couple’s friends, Michael Choong, told Morton that guys would go to the canteen for breakfast just to check out the now mom of three.

“They’d be joking, ‘Who’s going to date Kate?’” Choong said. “Then someone would turn to Will and remark, ‘Obviously, you’ve got the best chance,’” he added.

Prince William and Kate started dating in 2001, but they split twice during their relationship. Their first split happened in 2004, and the second one took place four years later.

The royal couple’s second split in 2007 shocked the entire nation because everyone was convinced that Prince William would already propose to Kate. But their engagement actually happened three years after they got back together.

On April 29, 2011, they finally tied the knot at Westminster Abbey. Two years later, they welcomed their first child, Prince George. Prince William and Kate had two more children in 2015 and 2018.

At present, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are still together. Even though there were rumors that Prince William had an affair with Kate’s friend, Rose Hanbury, they still decided to stay together. In fact, royal experts are convinced that Kate and Prince William will have another child either this year or next year.
