THE WOMAN WILLIAM COULD HAVE MARRIED
A SECRET LIST OF POTENTIAL GIRLFRIENDS HAS BEEN FOUND
Years before William crossed paths with Kate, Victoria Aitken was said to be one of a number of potential matches for the future king in a secret list drawn up by his family. But the politician’s daughter turned fixture on the London party scene, lives a very different life these days.
According to her Instagram account, Victoria, who attended the Cartier Polo at Windsor in 1999 with Prince William, is a singer-songwriter.
Royals biographer Robert Jobson reveals that Buckingham Palace courtiers kept a secret list of possible girlfriends for William in the late ’90s and early 2000s.
“While he may’ve looked forward to sowing a few wild oats, the Queen and Prince Philip and courtiers at the palace had long since kept files on the right kind of girls that might one day make a suitable bride for the future king,” he claimed in his book, William’s Princess.
Victoria was one potential match but her relationship with William didn’t develop, perhaps because in 1999 her family was engulfed in scandal when her father Jonathan – now an ordained minister who appears on her Instagram – was imprisoned for perjury.
“What happened to my father changed me forever, for the better,” Victoria told another publication.
“We were rich and ended up with nothing.”
In fact, one of her songs features the lyrics: “Living off daddy’s plastic was so fantastic, just got a J.O.B. whata misery, I just wanna break free.”
Meghan Markle is set for a showdown with Kim Kardashian – over politics!
Sources tell New Idea the ambitious ex-royal, 38, is seeing green now the reality superstar’s husband, rapper Kanye West, has thrown his hat in the ring to replace Donald Trump as America’s next president.
“Meghan is eyeing a run in 2024, and the last thing she wants is to be up against someone like Kanye and Kim, who would steal her thunder in the glamour stakes,” dishes an insider.
It’s claimed Kim, 39, is priming herself for a key role in Kanye’s campaign, with the pair’s combined $4.5 billion fortune giving them an unlikely shot at the White House.
Meanwhile, Meghan is said to be biding her time before launching her own audacious attempt – and she’s ready to lock horns with Kanye, 43, and his reality star wife.
“She’s watching the political scene like a hawk and figuring out her strategy,” added the source. “The worst scenario for her is going head-to-head with a celebrity, and she sees Kim as a genuine rival because of her wealth and popularity.
“They’re two fiery, competitive characters so expect some major fireworks.”
