- Prince William attended the snowy wedding of his former girlfriend in Gloucestershire on Saturday without Kate Middleton, according to reports.
- The Prince of Wales dated Rose Farquhar in the summer of 2000, after he had graduated from Eton College and before he met Kate Middleton at the University of St. Andrew's.
- In other royal news, Harry and Meghan’s Christmas card is all business as pair keep it lowkey, but this detail could suggest they are sending a subtle message.
Prince William attended the Christmastime wedding of his former girlfriend on Saturday without Kate Middleton, according to reports.
The Prince of Wales was spotted at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Gloucestershire, where he watched Rose Farquhar marry George Gemmell in a winter-themed ceremony.
It's understood that William dated Rose Farquhar in the summer of 2000 after he had graduated from Eton College. The pair, who have known each other since childhood, reportedly broke up shortly before the future King began his studies at the University of St. Andrew's in Scotland.
They remained friends, however, with Rose even attending William and Kate's royal wedding at Westminster Abbey in 2011. The former The Voice contestant was also one of the 600 guests at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials at Windsor Castle in 2018.

Prince William dressed smartly for Rose's wedding, wearing a classic black tuxedo and a matching black bowtie to make his discreet appearance. The ceremony took place in Tetbury, where King Charles III and Queen Camilla's private residence of Highgrove House is located.
Rose kept warm for the big day in a long-sleeved white dress with a fur cape, completing the bridal ensemble with pearl earrings and white heels. Groom George, who is currently studying to be a vet, looked equally snug in a black jacket and green tartan trousers.
Rose’s father, Captain Ian Farquhar, former Master of the Beaufort Hunt, was quick to welcome the matrimony of the happy couple.
“He could not be a more charming son-in-law for the future," he told the Daily Mail. "The Gemmels have been friends of ours for years. We’re absolutely delighted."
It remains unknown where Kate Middleton was during the wedding, but it's likely she was recovering at Adelaide Cottage from her busy week of royal duties.
The Princess of Wales hosted her second Royal Family carol service for ITV at Westminster Abbey on Thursday evening, much to the excitement of her loyal fanbase. The 41-year-old was joined by Prince William and their two older children, Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 8, for the festive gathering. King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince Edward, and Sophie Wessex were also in attendance.
