en.edatv.news, Europa Press Prince William Discovers Kate Middleton's Connection to Her Ex-Boyfriend
An Unexpected Revelation Surprises the Prince and Revives Conversations About the Princess's Past
Since her university days and since she began her relationship with Prince William, Kate Middleton's life has been in the public eye. However, beyond her relationship with William, there are details of her past that, until now, hadn't been fully known.
Kate, before falling in love with Princess Diana's son, had an important romance. It happened during her years at the University of St. Andrews and, although it ended, it remains relevant to the duchess's life.
A University Romance That Marked the Beginning of a Story
Rupert Finch, who is now a lawyer, was Kate's first significant boyfriend during her studies. Although their relationship didn't last, the connection with Finch has remained through Kate's relationship with his wife. The ex-boyfriend is the husband of Natalia Rufus Isaacs, one of Kate's favorite designers.
Beulah London, the fashion brand founded by Natalia, has dressed the duchess on several occasions, reinforcing the ties between both parties. Finch, who played cricket and studied law in his final year of university, was with Kate for at least a year. This chapter was part of the story that led Kate to meet William, with whom she eventually formed a family.
The Impact of Kate's Relationship with Her Former Love on Royalty
Although Kate's relationship with Finch ended before she met Prince William, that stage in her life isn't easily forgotten. William, despite Kate's relationship with Finch, didn't give up and fought for Kate to see him as more than a friend. In a 2010 interview, William recalled, "When I met her, I immediately knew there was something very special about her," a feeling that ultimately united her with him.
Kate, coming from a well-off family, entered St. Andrews thanks to her parents' good connections. Studying at St. Andrews led her to her encounter with William and to live one of the most talked-about love stories in royalty. After her graduation and, despite a brief separation, Kate and William continued their path to marriage.
Today, Kate holds a central place within the royal family, becoming a central figure for the British monarchy. With the trust of Queen Elizabeth II and her growing role in official events, Kate has earned the respect of both her political family and the British people.
