Prince William has been married for almost a decade now. In 2011, he tied the knot with Kate Middleton, whom she met during their university years.

But, prior to the now-Duchess of Cambridge, there were a few women who were romantically linked to the royal-born Prince. One of them is Britney Spears.

It was both shocking and interesting when the Toxic singer revealed her link to the future King of the United Kingdom. As reported, she discussed the matter in an on-air interview.

According to Cheat Sheet, Britney Spears sat down in an interview for a British talk show in 2002. Speaking to the comedian, Frank Skinner, the artist shared what happened between her and Prince William.

As per her assertions, she said that they "exchanged emails" for quite some time. The singer then deemed the whole thing "all blown out of proportion."

Following the background, Britney continued to reveal that they were set to meet for a date. She explained that he was supposed to "come and see" her. But, before the interviewer could ask a follow-up question, the singer immediately said that "it did not work out."

Frank Skinner then reportedly responded with a question. He asked whether she was "blown out" by Prince William. Britney Spears admitted and reportedly said yes to the question.

The singer further went on to assert that she did not know the reason why the royal-born Prince stood her up. Nevertheless, she reportedly "brushed it off" and told that the royal is a "busy guy."

Although things did not work out between the two famous personalities, reports pointed out that Britney Spears started to date Justin Timberlake afterward. So, it seemingly appeared that things did work well for the singer, as per claims.

The unearthed interview from 2002 recently went viral on social media. As per The Blast, several fans and supporters of both Britney Spears and Prince William shared their thoughts and opinions about the matter.

Several individuals reportedly found the whole narrative very "interesting." Considering that the singer has remained to be an icon, and the Duke of Cambridge a highly-praised royal, it was reportedly a unique fact that any fan would love to dwell on.

Other netizens also reportedly chimed in and said that they are happy that things did not work out between the two. As shared, many individuals pointed out that Britney would have left her career if they pursued a relationship. This reportedly means that the fans would have not enjoyed all her tracks. So, in the end, they are reportedly glad things turned out the way they are.
