The final batch of episodes of The Crown shifts focus to the next generation of royals – namely the future heir to the throne, Prince William.
Following the tragic death of Princess Diana in part one, the second part spends two episodes on the prince’s time at university in Scotland, and the beginnings of his romance with his future wife, Kate Middleton.

These episodes take on a sort of romcom narrative as, despite fancying each other very much, Kate and Wills can’t get their timing quite right and, whenever one is ready to make a move, the other is dating someone else.
In The Crown, Prince William (Ed McVey) is shown to initially have some trouble getting to know girls at university. It’s only after his younger brother Harry’s (Luther Ford) encouragement that he makes a move on a girl at a house party and they begin dating.
On the show, the fictional character Lola Airedale-Cavendish-Kinkade (Honor Swinton Byrne) and William’s romance quickly fizzled out when she realised that William was “bracing and outdoorsy”.
But what was Wills’ love life like IRL?
Prince William reportedly had several girlfriends before Kate Middleton
