Yes, Prince Charles dated Lady Sarah for some time, and it is during this time he was introduced to a teenage Lady Diana Spencer.kinneret5764 said:Didn't P. Charles at one time have a relationship with Lady Sarah Spencer, now Lady Sarah McCorquodale, prior to approaching Diana?

EmpressRouge said:I'm not too sure on the subject either, but according to Hello magazine, at the time of the engagement, the palace had to deny that Philippe and Mathilde's marriage was arranged because Philippe had never been seriouly linked to anyone.
I can see why people would think it was arranged. Mathilde seemed like a very ideal candidate: young, pretty, noble, no past indiscretions, *Belgian* and has both Wallon (French speaking) and Flemish (Dutch speaking) hertitage, although in other forums people have noted that her Dutch is very bad (I've never heard her speak, so I don't know).Mette2 said:Thanks EmpressRouge. I have read several places including Philippe and Mathilde's profiles on HELLO magazine's website that they denied the marriage was arranged, but I hadn't read that it's because Philippe had never been seriously linked to anyone. In an issue of HELLO magazine from last year there was a piece on Philippe and Mathilde, and new pictures of them and their children. It also said how people thought the marriage was arranged and how Philippe denied those rumors by saying:
"It was love at first sight. I couldn't take my eyes off her when I saw her among the crowd in a room at the royal palace. From that moment I knew she was already my future wife."
Just thought I'd add that because I think it's so sweet and romantic.![]()
