Not according to any solid evidence that anyone's ever offered.
In any case, he dated his wife for 8 years. I don't think he was seeing someone else during that period, which is what you're implying. If he had been and had been so serious about her as to want to marry her, the media would definitely have gotten wind of it. If it was someone he saw before he dated her, he would have been so young as to be unlikely to have wanted to get married.
A lot of people didn't want to believe that Catherine Middleton was "the one". She engendered a lot of resentment and envy, and there were actually many claims that William didn't really love her, that he was actually in love with someone else, that he was somehow being forced to marry her, etc. etc. etc. I think the claim that he asked someone else to marry him fits into that collection of wishful-thinking myths, none of which was ever supported by any proof.

I know nothing to suggest this is true. Fact is he met Catherine while at Uni in Scotland. He was 'with her' for about 8 years much as at one point they did separate as she didn't really want to marry him (the Royal Family!). Eventually he persuaded her ............................ !

It was reported in Vanity Fair, and many other non-tabloid publications, that he asked Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe to marry him after he and Kathrine broke up in 2007.
Those obsessed with romance novels and royalty will make lame excuses, of course. Poor sad things...

Yes, he asked Jo Brand but she's an avowed Republican so it was a no can do situation although she did give him a cracking nosh by all accounts.

No, there was lots of tabloid speculation but no proof.
