Kate Middleton found herself sharing the same guest list as former boyfriend Rupert Finch at the wedding of Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling in the Cotswolds, England, over the weekend. The Princess of Wales suffered 'everyone's worst nightmare' as she attended the ceremony alongside Prince William and as members of the royal family gathered to celebrate the couple's marriage, bringing an unexpected footnote from her past back into public view.
Middleton and Finch briefly dated in 2001 while both were studying at the University of St. Andrews. Their relationship predated her long and highly scrutinised romance with Prince William, whom she would later marry in 2011 after nearly a decade together. Although their university relationship has occasionally resurfaced in royal coverage over the years, both Middleton and Finch have largely avoided discussing it publicly.
