From Will’s Beauties to the Glossy Posse, Prince William is definitely a hot commodity!

For a guy who insists he’s no playboy prince, William spends a lot of time in the company of pretty women.

For a guy who insists he’s no playboy prince, William spends a lot of time in the company of pretty women.

His female soul mates at St. Andrews University in Scotland are called Will’s Beauties.

The blondes who flirt with him at polo matches are nicknamed the Glossy Posse.

When some friends joined him for a family cruise, it was dubbed the Love Boat.

Whenever Britain’s 21-year-old Prince William is pictured with attractive young women, cameras start clicking and there’s a frenzy of speculation about whether a potential queen of England might be in the frame.

There was Emilia d’Erlanger, who joined William on the Love Boat. Then, last year, the spotlight fell on Jecca Craig, whom William visited in Kenya.

Several polo groupies from the Glossy Posse (the first part of the nickname derives from Gloucestershire, the county in southwest England where Prince Charles has a country estate) have been pictured with the prince. And Holly Branson, daughter of Virgin tycoon Richard Branson, has been linked to Will — though it seems they barely know each other.

The British press has been keeping an eye on classmate Kate Middleton, 21, ever since she modeled in a see-through dress for a charity fashion show at St. Andrews, where the prince is studying geography. William paid almost $600 for a front-row seat.

He and Middleton met in an art history class in his first year at St. Andrews. Last year, they rented an off-campus apartment with two other students, and this year they are sharing a country cottage with Fergus Boyd, who, like William, is an alumnus of England’s Eton College.

Now she has joined William, Prince Charles and family friends for a skiing vacation in Klosters, Switzerland - and the way the prince was photographed gazing at her suggested they might be sharing more than a ski lift.

Her father, businessman Michael Middleton, has told reporters that his daughter and Will are “the best of pals,” but added: “We are very amused at the thought of being in-laws to Prince William, but I don’t think it’s going to happen.”

William has insisted he is no Lothario.

“Only the mad girls chase me,” he said last summer in a 21st-birthday interview.

“There’s a lot of speculation about every single girl I’m with,” William added. “These poor girls - who I’ve either just met and get photographed with or they’re friends of mine - suddenly get thrown into the limelight.”
