Jack hosted the Royal Variety Performance several times and one of those times, in 2014, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge just happened to be sitting in the royal box. Spying the couple, Jack thought it a good idea to share that he and Kate attended the same private school, Marlborough College. Even though Kate Middleton is six years older than Jack, he claimed that Kate was his, “the first crush.”

Jack told the audience of Kate, “We were actually at school together. This is true. We were at the same school. I was a bit younger than you, but this is the first time I’ve seen you since school, so hello.”
He went on, “I don’t know whether it’s appropriate given the circumstances, but you were probably my first ever crush. Okay, definitely inappropriate. You Highness is giving me a very sharp look.”
How Did William Feel When Another Man Said Kate Was His First Crush?
If Jack thought he was being too cute with his pitchy comments at the prince’s expense, he found out to the contrary afterward when Prince William himself approached the actor.
Jack spilled on The Jonathan Ross Show that after the 2014 show he met up with William who had a few choice words for his love rival.
Jack told the television host, “And then in the line-up William came over and he was very funny.”
“Because he was very nice but very passive-aggressive, ‘Oh so you were flirting with my missus? Oh no, no, that was very, very funny.’”
“That’s him going, ‘I could have you beheaded.’”

Jack finally came clean and admitted that although he insisted Kate was, “the one that got away,” all of his fantasizing was in his head. He acknowledged that he never had a chance with Kate saying, “She was a lot older than me. She was in the sixth form ‒ it was never going to happen, I was in a head brace!”
Jack went on to say that at the same show he found himself next to Demi Lovato and the American singer she did not appear to get his humor!
