Years before the prince began sneaking Kate off on secret dates, he had a massive female fan following. This Prince William ‘mania’ was perfectly depicted in Netflix’s The Crown’s final episodes. The episode Willsmania shows just how much the ladies loved Princess Diana‘s firstborn in his teenage years and his 20s. A video on TikTok also captures Willsmania of the 90s and 2000s. Its comments section is filled with the ladies still showing a lot of love to the future King of England.

William’s romances before Kate came along
His dashing looks, royal status, charming personality, and massive fan following meant William had no shortage of beautiful girls who wanted to date him.
The Prince reportedly dated a wealthy girl named Jecca Craig in 1998. They broke up in 1999 but remained friends. He even traveled to her family’s wildlife conservancy near Mount Kenya in 2001. The two went separate ways before William entered St Andrew’s where met his future wife Kate.
The Daily Mail notes, that the Prince laid his eyes on Davina Duckworth-Chad in the summer of 1999 when he boarded a yacht filled with beauties and sailed to the Aegean Sea. Davina’s family was closely connected to the crown.
Not much is known about the Prince’s relationship with Rose Farquhar but it is said that she was his “first love.”
However, the Prince found both his wife and his future queen in none other than his St Andrews classmate Kate.
