Some would say the Princess of Wales is living in a real-life fairytale. After growing up in quiet Berkshire, young Kate Middleton managed to win the heart of Britain's most desirable royal whilst studying at St Andrews University.
Prince William and Princess Kate's romance may be the best royal love story in history, but that doesn't mean there aren't several love interests in the pipeline for royalty's remaining bachelorettes and bachelors.
From Lady Eliza Spencer's long-term love to Princess Olympia of Greece's former beau and Count Nikolai's It-Girl girlfriend, keep reading to discover who royalty is currently dating.

Count Nikolai of Monpezat, formerly known as Prince Nikolai of Denmark before Queen Margrethe II stripped him of his title, is currently dating 23-year-old Benedikte Thoustrup.
The sweethearts recently relocated to Australia together, and Benedikte's Instagram feed is an It Girl's guide to fashion, food and travel. The glamorous Danish entrepreneur also owns hair accessory brand, BénéSoie, for which she designs silk bands and biodegradable hair clips with her mother and grandmother.
Benedikte spent New Year's Eve at the Opera Bar in Sydney, looking effortlessly cool in a sheer printed maxi dress from slow fashion brand Réalisation Par.

Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece, god-daughter to King Charles, dated property developer Peregrine Pearson for three years before they split in November 2023. He is also heir to the fourth Viscount Cowdray.
The 28-year-old Greek royal appeared to confirm her romance with Peregrine in 2020 after sharing a photo with her beau on the Greek island of Spetses. Maria-Olympia's father, Crown Prince Pavlos, later posted a snap of his family enjoying lunch on the island, in which Peregrine could be seen at the table.
During their romance, Maria-Olympia and Peregrine were often spotted at high-profile events, and the future Viscount even accompanied the Princess to the wedding of Philippos of Greece and Nina Flohr on October 23 2021, in Athens.

Prince Abdul Mateen ibni Hassanal Bolkiah, AKA one of Asia's most eligible bachelors, is set to wed his bride-to-be Anisha Isa Kalebic on 7 January 2024.
Despite Prince Abdul Mateen's 2.4 million strong Instagram following, the royal has kept his relationship with Anisha entirely out of the spotlight until he announced their engagement on New Year's Day 2024.
It has been reported that the pair have been dating for years and Anisha is the granddaughter of one of her soon-to-be father-in-law's closest advisers, Pehin Dato Isa.
