Kate Middleton and Prince William's love story is like no other. And since their spectacular wedding in 2011, they've garnered fans from all over the world.
But before Kate, Prince William is believed to have had another serious relationship. Back when he was a teen he dated Jessica or Jecca Craig, and he even spent time on her family's estate in Kenya when on his gap year.
She was his alleged first love, and the Mail Online even reported that the two had a "pretend engagement" whilst there. In fact, Jecca apparently caused a scene at Will's 21st birthday bash - which she'd gone to the UK to attend. Will and Kate were secretly seeing each other, but he'd fibbed in an interview and said he was single.

He invited The Duchess as a friend, but spent no time with her there. He instead honed in on Jecca, say sources. His ex was given one of the best seats in the house for the celebrations while Kate was positioned far from the action.
In her book Kate: Our Future Queen, expert Katie Nicholl writes: "Kate didn't know whether they had been romantically involved or not, but she noted that Jecca had been seated at the head table next to William, whereas Kate had to raise her glass to toast the prince from afar."
But things all worked out in the end, and Becca attended Kate and William's wedding at Westminster Abbey in 2011. Wills flew to Kenya five years later to watch his ex marry Zoological Society expert Professor Jonathan Baillie.
