Prince Harry also revealed how media often played a role in the downfall of his past relationships. In this article, let’s take a look at who Prince Harry dated before falling head over heels for the American actress.
Natalie Pinkham (2003)
Prince Harry first met Natalie Pinkham at the 1999 Rugby World Cup. In 2003, it was reported that Prince Harry started dating the TV sports presenter. Despite separating, the two have remained friends. Pinkham is now married with two kids.
Cassie Sumner-Fonte (2003)
In the same year, Prince Harry had a one-time thing with Cassie Sumner. The two met at a nightclub where they cuddled with each other. Sumner also dated Russell Brand. She is now married to Portugal national team midfielder Jose Fonte.
Chelsy Davy (2004-2011)
Chelsy Davy was Prince Harry’s first serious girlfriend. Although they were serious about each other, the two had an on-again/off-again relationship. Davy met the Queen and was even Harry’s date to his brother’s wedding to Kate Middleton. Unfortunately, the attention was too much for the Zimbabwean businesswoman. She is now a lawyer with her own jewelry line. She remains good friends with Prince Harry.
Astrid Harbord (2009)
During one of the times that Prince Harry and Davy split, he briefly dated Kate Middleton’s friend, Astrid Harbord. The two were reportedly seen at a club before they went back to Clarence House at 3am.
Caroline Flack (2009)
Prince Harry also briefly dated English TV presenter, Caroline Flack. Even though they were fond of each other, Flack felt pressure from the media’s constant attention. She even wrote about the experience in her autobiography entitled Storm in a C Cup: “Once the story got out, that was it. We had to stop seeing each other. I was no longer Caroline Flack, TV presenter, I was Caroline Flack, Prince Harry’s bit of rough.”
Mollie King (2010)
In 2010, Prince Harry met English singer/songwriter/model Mollie Kin at the Asprey World Class Cup. The Royal family member reportedly broke it off with King since “she was too open about their relationship.”
Camilla Romestrand (2010)
Another musician that Prince Harry was linked to was Norweigan rock star, Camilla Romestrand. In 2010, Romestrand told her friends that she spent the night with the Prince at Clarence Hotel and he even served her breakfast in bed. Harry has not confirmed this report and the two did not go on other dates.
Florence Brudenell-Bruce (2011)
After breaking up with Davy, Prince Harry dated Florence Brudenell-Bruce in 2011. She was reportedly the one to end the relationship since she felt that he had “a wandering eye all the time.” She is now married to a banker, Henry St George.
Cressida Bonas (2012-2014)
Prince Harry got into another serious relationship in 2012 when he dated Cressida Bonas. The two were introduced by Harry’s cousins, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice. Bonas is an actress and model. When she heard about Harry’s engagement to Markle, she posted a cryptic message on Instagram: “No matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you believe you are, how you treat people ultimately tells it all.”
Ellie Goulding (2015)
Before Meghan Markle, there were reports that Prince Harry was dating pop star Ellie Goulding. The pop star sang at Prince William and Middleton’s wedding reception in 2011. The two were spotted “canoodling” under a blanket during a polo match in 2015. There are no reports why they parted ways.
Prince Harry is now married to Meghan Markle, an actress he met on a blind date.
