Britney Spears and Prince William had a 'cyber relationship' before he met Kate Middleton

Britney Spears and Prince William reportedly shared a "cyber relationship" where they communicated via email in the early 2000s. The pair never took their relationship offline.

Janelle Ash is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.

"We exchanged e-mails for a little bit and he was supposed to come and see me somewhere but it didn't work out," she said at the time, per the Daily Mail. "You were blown out by Prince William?" Skinner asked, and Spears replied, "Yeah."

The Daily Mail reported that Buckingham Palace denied rumors in the early 2000s about the "Princess of Pop’s" relationship with William.
