The women that made Kate Middleton jealous
The love of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge began in his student days, but before William fell for Kate, he had a great romance behind him
The love of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge began in his student days, after many years of friendship, but before William fell for Kate Middleton, he had a great romance behind him that he did not give up so easily.
Prince William and Kate Middleton began their relationship in 2003, while both were students at the University of St. Andrews. It is well known that they first hung out for a long time, moved in the same circles and that the second in line for the British throne noticed Kate in a different light when he saw her walking the runway at a charity fashion show.
At one time they broke up for a short period, and in those days the media connected William with many famous beauties, including one of his ex-girlfriends. This is Jessica Craig, better known to the English public as Jecca, who is today a prominent environmental fighter and doctoral student at London’s famous University. Prince William and Jecca reportedly met in 2000, when he was staying at the Craig family ranch in Kenya.
They spent a lot of time together there. The couple got along great and enjoyed discovering the charms of Africa together, but their paths diverged when he returned to his studies. William met Kate Middleton after a while, but that didn't mean that every kind of his relationship with Jack came to an end. The local media wrote that William and his ex-girlfriend went to weddings together and that the prince went to Kenya and spent time with Jecca even while he was in a relationship with Kate!
Not only that, but at a time when William was hiding his relationship with Kate from the media, he completely neglected his girlfriend at the celebration of his 21st birthday and chatted all the time with Jecca, who arrived from Kenya only on this occasion. Allegedly, Kate Middleton was constantly angry with her beloved and "felt threatened and humiliated", as the royal biographer Christopher Andersen wrote in the book "Brothers and Wives: Inside the Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry, and Megan". The years passed, and the prince continued to see his ex-girlfriend, which is why, this biographer writes, the future duchess gave him an ultimatum, which he did not take seriously: either Jecca or her.
In those days, Prince William was not ready to give up adventure, travel, and entertainment at such a young age, and he was not like the peaceful family man we know today. It is well known that Kate has been waiting for her engagement ring for years and that many in Britain have laughed at her because she has been waiting for William for years. He did not want to settle down next to Kate, so Prince Harry, Andersen writes, "warned his stubborn brother that he must pay attention to how Kate feels". It's no secret that Kate Middleton and Prince Harry have always had a close relationship, so it's no wonder that Harry tried to get William to change his behavior.
Just like Prince Charles and Camille during his entire marriage to Princess Diana, William did not want to give up Jackie. According to this book, even Charles, William's father, intervened, because he himself experienced life in a love triangle, but he did not think so much about Kate Middleton. “You can't expose her to this, William. That is not fair to Jecca” - Charles allegedly told his son.
It was rumored that Jecca was the reason for Kate and William's breakup in 2007, but in the end, he still chose Kate. The rest is history: the couple got married in 2011 at a romantic ceremony that was followed by the whole world, and today they have three children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Jecca has been married to Canadian professor Jonathan Baillie since 2016, with whom he has two children.
