How to Meet a Prince - Badoo Coverage

How To Meet A Prince

What We Did

When Kate Middleton found her prince and married William we conducted the first ever scientific study designed to establish how other women interested in meeting their own prince should go about it.

Our study of 107 royal romances since WWII concluded that women should forget kissing frogs (no evidence for it) and instead use seven proven strategies, which included: playing tennis, working in the media or showbiz, attending a top university (Cambridge best of all) and the right parties, and targeting European princes

“Social network site Badoo (www.badoo.com) has come up with the ‘Seven Golden Rules’ on how to find a prince, after conducting a study of 107 royal romances since World War II.”

Reuters report on our study

“What Think Inc’s Peter Freedman does is unique. He is a master at creating online buzz, which spreads globally. He has shown so repeatedly for big brands, like craigslist and Badoo”
