We never forget his first love. Prince William knows this and that is why the heir to the Crown went, alone, to the wedding of Rose Farquhar, her “first serious girlfriend” according to DailyMail, this Saturday, December 17. But who is she? Remained close after being separated, when they were students at St Andrews University, the eldest of Charles III and the beautiful brunette have known each other since childhood. And for good reason : the 39-year-old bride is the daughter of Captain Ian Farquhar, former squire to the Queen Mother and ex-master of the Beaufort hunt.
But if the name of Rose Farquhar means something to you: it may also be because in 2016, the young woman stood out in participating in the UK version of The Voice. Remained stuck at the stage of blind auditions despite her beautiful interpretation of Anyone Who Had a Heart of Dionne Warwick, she had especially attracted the attention of the press who remembered her brief “innocent and tender romance” with the future King of Englandas Katie Nicholl called it in her book The Making of a Royal Romance in 2011.
