Britney Spears celebrated her 40th birthday on December 2, 2021,
and she has been making headlines fairly frequently over the past several months.
For the first time in 13 years, after a long battle, the "Piece of Me" singer is
living a life free of a conservatorship. Judge Brenda Penny made the ruling on November 12th.
"This is a monumental day for Britney Spears."
Back in her heyday, Britney was one of the most talked about pop stars in the world. Even beyond
that, the entertainer was unsurprisingly in the dreams of many boys, including one royal heir.
Britney and Prince William are around the same age, and evidently connected way back when the
future king was just a teenager. Britney and William had been talking, which is something
that Britney admitted herself. Spears said during an interview on the Frank Skinner Show:
"Yeah, it was just like, all blown out of proportion — we exchanged emails for
a little bit and he was supposed to come and see me somewhere but it didn't work out."
The pop star claims that William actually stood her up — and the two never got the
chance to meet in person. But did they actually have an online relationship? In the new book,
Brothers and Wives: Inside the Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry and Meghan,
author Christopher Andersen claims that Britney Spears and Prince William actually had a bit of
a thing despite never actually meeting face to face. Anderson told Us Weekly:
"[Britney Spears and Prince William] tried to get together back when they were young,
and he also had a kind of similar cyber relationship with Lauren Bush."
Interestingly, Spears denied having any kind of cyber relationship with William
during her interview on the Frank Skinner Show.
While Spears never actually dated a Brit, she did find a few guys from across the pond
quite attractive. One in particular? Soccer star David Beckham. Spears told The Associated Press:
"I think he's cute. I'm hoping he'll help me with the soccer moves for the commercial."
In another interview, she said that Beckham was her favorite soccer player,
and once called him a "cutie," according to Digital Spy.
As the story goes, Prince William actually had quite the crush on Britney Spears when
he was younger. According to Perez Hilton, younger William was, quote,
"infatuated" with the pop star — and she thought it was "hilarious." Despite Britney's claim that
William essentially ghosted her back in the day, she didn't seem to have any hard feelings toward
him in the years that followed. In fact, back in 2011, she was hoping to see William and his wife,
Kate Middleton, at her Femme Fatale concert during its UK leg. Spears told Glamour magazine:
"That would be crazy and cool. I think they're a beautiful couple.
Unfortunately I didn't get to watch the wedding, but I heard it was beautiful."
During another interview, Britney recognized that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were
extremely busy, and probably wouldn't be able to attend her show. Spears said on Daybreak:
"I'm sure they're very, very busy, but if they could squeeze it in that would be very cool."
Not only did Britney Spears want to see the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at her concert,
but she also talked about getting Kate Middleton to wear a pair of
undergarments from a collaboration that she did with ASOS in 2014. According to Closer,
the pop princess actually sent some of her undies to Kate in hopes that she'd wear them.
When asked how she would feel if Kate sported a pair of the panties, Spears said,
"I would love to see Kate in my underwear designs.
I'm going to send her one of every piece. So she'll have plenty to choose from."
For the record, Brit's favorite color from the Intimate Britney Spears collection
was red. No word on whether or not Britney actually sent any panties to Kate
or if the duchess actually wore any of the undergarments from Britney's collection.
Of course, things with Prince William — or David Beckham, for that matter — didn't work out for
Britney, but she went on to date Justin Timberlake before marrying back-up dancer Kevin Federline,
and having two children with him. That relationship didn't pan out, either,
but Spears may have finally found her happily ever after.
As of December 2021, the pop singer is engaged to model and actor Sam Asghari.
