With the premiere of the latest season of The Crown, Netflix’s hit series about the British monarchy, more details about the life of the royal family are being revealed, even if some of it is fictionalized.
One of the episodes focuses on Prince William, the eldest son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana.
In this chapter it is mentioned that the prince had several girlfriends before his courtship with Kate Middleton, something that arouses the curiosity of many viewers.
Although the Netflix series refers to the young woman as Lola Airdale-Cavendish-Kincaid, this is not the real name of the woman who was Prince William’s girlfriend.
Who is Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe?
Actually, it is Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe, an English socialite, actress and model who has managed to stay out of the public eye to some extent.
After putting his relationship with Kate Middleton on hold, Prince William was able to enjoy his bachelorhood and date other women.
At the time, the press commented that he was dating Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe.
According to rumors, the young woman had traveled with William to Greece and he was very interested in her.
However, Isabella wanted to be an actress and was not interested in being part of the royal family, which eventually led to the breakup of their relationship.
Isabella is currently married to Sam Branson, son of billionaire Richard Branson. They have two children.
But Isabella is not the only woman who has been linked to Prince William in the past.
Prince William’s Girlfriends
In the case of Prince William, his love history has been a topic of discussion for years, especially before his engagement to Kate Middleton.
During his time as an undergraduate at St. Andrews, Prince William had several affairs, some brief ones that were known years after they ended, and the vast majority of which occurred during this period.
At the time, William was the object of desire for many of his female classmates, who could not resist his charm and attractiveness.
According to Vanity Fair magazine, among the most mentioned were Davina Duckworth-Chad, Rose Farquhar or Jecca Craig.
On the other hand, the expert on the British royal family, Katie Nicholl, in her book William and Harry: Behind the Palace Walls, the prince began dating an English literature and creative writing student named Carley Massy-Birch during his first semester.

However, the young woman who probably stole Prince William’s heart before his relationship with Kate Middleton was Olivia Hunt.
Like the other women on his list, Olivia was a student at St. Andrews University, where she met Prince William.
It is believed that she was the last young woman the prince dated at university before he began a formal relationship with Kate Middleton.
In any case, Prince William is now happily married to Kate Middleton, with whom he has three children.
