Queen Britney Spears? How singer almost dated Prince William 20 years ago but was STOOD UP
LONDON, ENGLAND: Both Britney Spears and the Royal Family are currently in the headlines but for different reasons. Britney is making headlines for her troubled relationships with her children and on the other hand, the entire world is mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth II. But what connects these two entirely remote parties is the fact that Britney Spears almost got together with Prince William 20 years ago. But she got stood up!
In a 2002 interview, the 40-year-old 'Toxic' singer talked about her affection for the Prince of Wales who had not met Kate Middleton as of then. Britney told talk show host Frank Skinner that she was talking to William via emails and that she had even asked him out for dinner but never got a response. When Britney was touring in the UK to promote her single 'Overprotected', she planned on meeting the Prince but it never happened. The then 19-year-old Prince had swooned the 20-year-old pop star but a few text exchanges did not go a long way. She had told Skinner, "We exchanged e-mails for a little bit and he was supposed to come and see me somewhere but it didn't work out." Skinner asked, "You were blown out by Prince William?" Britney replied, "Yeah."
