Call them the ones before The One! From first crushes to surprise sibling setups, the Royal Family have some of the most epic love stories in recent history.

Of course, not all of these romances culminate in marriages and happily-ever-afters, but in true royal form, many have remained amicable with their exes.

The Prince and Princess of Wales famously invited some of their past loves to their 2011 nuptials, while Prince Harry included his childhood sweetheart, Chelsy Davy – now a mom of two! – among the guests at his 2018 wedding to Meghan Markle.
