Wills In Love...

  • March 1, 1999---Besotted Prince William could not hide his feelings for Emma Parker Bowles as he gazed adoringly into her eyes on a secret dinner date. A waiter who served the couple at a posh London restaurant said: "Wills was smitten. He was looking lovingly at Emma and she was hanging on his every word. "She is a beautiful woman and it was obvious that he has an enormous crush on her." The happy couple laughed and chatted intimately, blissfully at ease in each other's company - despite the eight-year age gap. The dinner at the exclusive Foxtrot Oscar restaurant was just one of a string of outings William, 16, and former model Emma have shared. And last night Emma's ex-boyfriend Andre Winterton said: "She is a lovely, bubbly and attractive girl. I can quite understand what William sees in her." But a close friend of the 24-year-old society beauty told the Sunday People that Emma is anxious not to let Wills think they are anything but close friends. Last night the pal said: "William is very grown-up for his age and has blossomed into a truly handsome young man. "He is very keen on att- ractive girls but he is also rather wary of them. Getting close to a girlfriend is a delicate matter for someone in his position. "He thinks Emma is lovely and more importantly she is someone he can trust. "Emma thinks William is very sweet and that he is a very mature young man. There is nothing in any way improper about their relation ship - they are simply becoming very special friends. "Emma likes William very much. But anyone who saw the Prince in her company could tell at a glance he is captivated by her. "Sometimes he gazes at her so adoringly that it becomes a bit embarrassing. He looks every inch a young man who is fall- ing in love." William and Emma partied into the small hours on their latest night out last Wednesday. They were joined by Camilla Parker Bowles' children Tom and Laura who are said to think it is highly amusing that Wills has got a crush on their cousin. The happy group drank around four bottles of wine at Foxtrot Oscar in London's Chelsea before being chauffeured to Soho's trendy K-Bar. Wills then stuck to soft drinks but the others carried on drinking until they left at about 1am. Michael Proudlock, owner of Foxtrot Oscar, said: "I know Emma well as she used to work as a waitress here a few years ago. "She has now become a regular customer and often comes in with Prince William and a group of friends." And an onlooker at the K-Bar said: "Emma and William looked very close. They make a great couple." William has always been attracted to blondes. His first bedroom pin-up posters included Pamela Anderson, Baby Spice Emma Bunton and glamour models the Barbie Twins. And stunning Emma certainly fits the bill. Friends believe the beautiful "It" girl could have had a career as a model but she said she didn't like being treated like a "piece of meat". However she did take on a series of assignments modelling designer Cartier watches. Action-girl Emma's father Richard is the brother of Andrew Parker Bowles, the ex-husband of Prince Charles's lover Camilla. Emma has a reputation as a thrill-seeking lover of outdoor sport. She loves sailing, white-water rafting and once spent three months working in a Romanian orphanage. She came back to take a journalist's job on men's magazine GQ. Emma also worked as a gossip columnist on the London Evening Standard. But she proved she could also be discreet when she turned down an estimated £10,000 for an interview in Hello! Magazine.
