Before Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle were in the royal rotation, there were the likes of Ellie Goulding and Mollie King. However, it isn’t just the young princes who had love affairs. Let’s take a look back at who the young members of the royal family had dated before they had met their “one”.
Kate Middleton & Rupert Finch
As it turns out, Kate Middelton dated a couple of men while attending university. Rupert Finch was studying for his final year of law at St. Andrew’s when he met Kate. Finch also happens to have ties with William. His parents’ Norfolk farm is owned by Earl Spencer, William’s uncle. While they dated for less than a year, Kate and Rupert parted ways on amicable terms before they moved onto other relationships.

It turns out that the way Rupert and Kate separated was, in fact, so amicable that they invited each other to their respective weddings. When Kate was just about to get married to Prince William, she felt compelled to invite Finch, who had been dating Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs at the time. They obliged without a second thought. Just two years later, Rupert and Natasha were engaged and returned the favor by inviting Kate and William to the wedding.
