Kate Middleton, during her latest royal outing, has brought an old romance back into the spotlight. The Princess of Wales attended a family wedding with Prince William, but she was not the only familiar face there.
One of Kate’s former boyfriends, Rupert Finch, was also among the guests. While that might sound awkward at first, the reality appears to be very different. Scroll down for more information!
Kate Middleton Ran Into An Old Boyfriend At A Royal Wedding
Kate and William recently attended the wedding of William’s cousin, Peter Phillips, and Harriet Sperling. According to details obtained by Page Six, Rupert Finch was also at the event.
Whenever exes end up at the same party, people naturally wonder if things might be uncomfortable. That is exactly why Finch’s appearance at the royal wedding got so much attention.
However, there is no sign that the meeting was awkward. Instead, it seems the former couple simply happened to be attending the same family celebration. The sighting has also reminded many royal fans about Kate’s life before she met William and became a member of the Royal Family.
Why The Reunion Was Not Awkward
Finch attended the wedding with his wife, Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs. The couple have known Kate and William for years, which helps explain why there was likely no tension between anyone. In fact, Finch and Lady Natasha were guests at Kate and William’s wedding in 2011. Kate also attended Finch and Lady Natasha’s wedding in 2013.
That history suggests there has never been any bad blood between them. Rather than an uncomfortable reunion, it was simply a gathering of people who have remained friendly over the years. Even so, seeing Kate and Finch at the same event has sparked fresh interest in their past relationship.
Kate and Finch dated in 2001 when they were both students at St. Andrews University. Kate was in her first year, while Finch was in his fourth and final year studying law. Their relationship lasted less than a year. Although it was brief, people still talk about it because it happened before Kate began her famous romance with Prince William.
