Here Are All Of The Women Prince Harry Has Been Linked With

1.  Lauren Pope From TOWIE Dated Prince Harry!

Image source: ItvBeLauren was one of the original cast members of TOWIE and we regularly watched the ups and downs of her relationships over the years.  Unfortunately, it often ended in tears for Miss Pope.  We assumed she must have been unlucky in love but was she hiding something from us viewers?  Well, yes, it appears she may well have been.  There was a time in 2004 when a certain someone put a big smile on her face.  You guessed it: it was her very own Prince Charming, namely Prince Harry.

They Were Introduced In An Essex Club

Image source thesun.co.ukThe two got together after being introduced at the club China-whites.  Harry had been drinking shots with his close circle of trusted friends and Lauren was on a night out with her cousin and her agent.  One of Harry's crowd invited the girls over to join them and it wasn't long before Harry and Lauren's sizzling chemistry was noticed by partygoers, as the pair smooched in a corner in the VIP area.

She Kept It A Secret From The Cast Of The Reality Show

Image source thesun.co.ukThe two of them apparently met up a few times, her cast mates at TOWIE

totally unaware of what was going on.  Whereas her whole life was usually played out for all us avid viewers of the show to watch, Lauren knew she had to keep this secret close to her chest.  If any of her friends tried to question her, she kept the Royal Protocol by saying nothing and remaining coy.

How Long Did It Last?

Image source ItvBeHang on.  What happened there then?  It turned out to be a case of lust rather than love that put the brakes on their liaison.  Lauren had been in this boat before and not long after she moved on, this time with another TOWIE member, Kirk Norcross.  Kirk fell for Lauren hook, line and sinker and had been quoted as saying that she was the love of his life and he would have married her.  Lauren didn't feel the same way but she did get eventually get her fairy tale ending with Tony Keterman, a millionaire businessman who she met some years later.  They are now expecting their second child later this year.

2. Catherine Ommanney, Divorcee, Linked With Harry!

Image source BuzzFeedRemember the movie 'The Graduate', where the woman seduces a much younger man?  The film may not have been exactly on a parallel with Catherine and Prince Harry's trysts, but at 21, he was 13 years younger than his lover.  As if that wasn't shocking enough, she was also a mother of 2 young children and had just gone through a messy divorce after a short lived marriage - not the type of news Harry's father, Prince Charles, would have been thrilled about!

Where Did They Get Together?

Image source Daily MailCatherine, a London socialite, met Harry at a private party.  According to bystanders, the two of them spent the evening flirting with each other and by the end of the night were seen snogging, totally unbothered by the crowd around them.  Why shouldn't they have fun?  I mean, they were both single and unattached - or was that not the case?

Was Prince Harry Cheating On Catherine?

Image source The MirrorCatherine's nanny told reporters that Prince Harry would send a car round to the house to pick up Catherine and would drive her back to 'his place' or to an exclusive restaurant.  This happened a number of times and their relationship was kept mainly under the radar. Unfortunately, the so called radar didn't apply to Harry's on/off girlfriend Chelsy Davey who was far from amused when she found out.

The Prince Had To Choose

Bravo TVPrince Harry is known for being hot headed and doing exactly as he pleases.  He craved the freedom his late mother, Princess Diana, was robbed of. As it turned out, the decision was not one he had to make as Catherine Ommanney decided to move to the States.  She became a TV presenter and then, as you will probably recognise, became a star on Real Housewives of D C.

3. Natalie Imbruglia Was On Harry's Radar

Image source PinterestDuring one of the many 'breaks'  Prince Harry and Chelsy Davey went through, Natalie Imbruglia, the beautiful Australian singer/songwriter (originally in 'Neighbours' ) invited Harry to her birthday bash.  As she was residing in the UK at the time and shared a couple of mutual friends with Harry, he readily accepted.  He was single and ready to mingle - and mingle he did!

Would Natalie Be Enough For Harry?

Image source CrazyFrankenstein.comNatalie and Harry certainly got on well.  They shared similar tastes in music and were even spotted at a 'Killers' concert, where they went unnoticed, purely part of the huge crowd.  They enjoyed a few bowling dates and did ordinary, fun things that you and I might enjoy.  Prince Harry's love of Australia went down particularly well with Natalie.

Would It Work Or Would It Be 'Torn'?

Image source PopCrushAfter Natalie's massive worldwide hit 'Torn', she was incredibly busy and the lovebirds couldn't see each other much.  Prince Harry also had many overseas 'Family' commitments and they were more often than not, in different countries at different times.  Of course, this was not ideal, but if it's meant to be, love will conquer all!

Long Distance Relationships Can Work

If a couple are meant to be together, they somehow cope with the distance between them so could that apply to Natalie and Harry?  Maybe so, but there was a twist in the tale.  When Natalie arrived back in the UK she was spotted in Annabel's nightclub with Jamiroquai lead singer Jay Kay and they looked more than friends.  Then Harry went back to Chelsy - again.

4. When Harry Met Mollie (King)

Image source IMDbPart of the successful girl band 'The Saturdays', Mollie King was used to mixing in celebrity circles. However, it wasn't her music career that got her noticed by Prince Harry.  It was on the ski slopes that they first met. Mollie was an accomplished skier in her own right, being part of the British Alpine Squad, before 'The Saturdays' formed.

Grabbing Quality Time Together

Image source The SunMollie and the group were starting a world tour and Prince Harry's commitments stretched far and wide so seeing each other became a balancing act.  Surprisingly, it was Mollie who wanted to ensure no one found out about them as her management company preferred all the girls to have squeaky clean images.

Was Their Secret About To Be Exposed?

Image source The SunTheir dates were very low key, usually hanging out at each other's pads.  Mollie was used to the paparazzi snapping her as a pop star wherever she went and it made her very guarded about leaving her home to see Prince Harry in case she was followed.  If the 'paps' knew about her secret visits, it would make headline news.  Could she dodge the Press?

Secret's Out!

Image source Daily MailThat is exactly what DID happen. A long lens camera snapped Mollie getting into a chauffeur driven car and she found herself being followed in the vehicle.  After that, she made up her mind that dating a Royal was too stressful for her and she finished the relationship soon after.  At least she could get a cuddle from her beloved pooch!

5. Caroline Flack Made Her Own 'Love Island' With Harry

Caroline Flack was a popular tv presenter and met Prince Harry when he was 25 and still serving in the Armed Forces.  They were introduced by their mutual friend, Natalie Pinkham and, reportedly, hit it off straight away.  Flirty and fun loving, Harry fell for the long legged beauty.

The Press Were Hungry For Details Of Their Relationship

The pair were spotted at a concert at Maida Vale and at a VIP drinks party with some of Harry's mates.  The 'paps' wanted more as tabloids and magazines were desperate to run stories.  They knew what the public wanted so would go to any lengths to get photos.  Unfortunately, they went too far.

What Was The Turning Point?

Image source Daily MailReporters and snappers started camping outside her mother's home and then outside her sister's house.  What was supposed to be a nice, fun relationship was turning sour.  The intrusion was too much for Caroline and she reluctantly ended it with Harry.  She was tagged 'Harry's bit of rough'.

6. Camilla Romestrand Made Sweet Music With Harry

Image source StyleBistroDuring yet another split between Harry and Chelsy, a new future girlfriend was organised through, you guessed it, a mutual friend!  Another Camilla, this time Norwegian Camilla Romestrand who fronts a British band named Eddie The Gun.  Prince Harry found Camilla fascinating and quirky and she was pretty taken with him as well.Image source Independent i.e.Camilla oozed confidence and wasn't in awe of being wooed by the Royal.  In fact, she played 'hard to get' to start with in case he was on the rebound from Chelsy (which he was).  Camilla agreed to go on a date with him and went back to the Palace, supposedly as a guest of another female friend of Harry.

Prince Harry Made Camilla Breakfast In Bed!

Image source WireImage

The same so called friend told a reporter that Harry made Camilla breakfast in bed.  To be honest, I'm impressed that he knew how to cook (unless she had Coco Pops!).  Camilla was seen leaving the Palace the following day, along with 2 'friends' and getting into a chauffeur driven black Mercedes.

Did Camilla Become Jealous Of Chelsy Davy?

Image source The SunDespite wanting to take things slowly and preferring to keep it casual, Camilla fell for Harry's charms and the relationship hotted up.  They were seen at 'Raffles' night club together and she accompanied him to a polo match.  Chelsy was never fully out of the picture and Camilla felt she was playing second fiddle to her so she dumped Harry.

7. Ellie Goulding Won Prince Harry At A Polo Match!

Image source ImbDEllie Goulding was a talented singer, enjoying fame around the world and collecting a huge number of pop hits along the way.  She had been unlucky in love and had broken up very recently with her latest boyfriend.  Most of her relationships had been with guys in the music business but none had worked out.  Maybe time to change tactics?

Ellie Was Already Friends With Harry's Cousin

Image source People

Ellie had been a close friend of Princess Eugenie and the two often met up.  Eugenie introduced Ellie to Prince Harry at a polo event and they obviously hit it off because they were seen canoodling under a blanket after the game. Ellie had to head off on tour the following month but the two kept in touch until the next opportunity to meet up.

They Were Spotted Together At The Invictus Games

Image source ForbesThat next time was at 'The Invictus Games' where they were happy to be photographed together.  Ellie was doing a short set at the Games so it looked entirely innocent why she would be there.  Harry would invite her to the Palace when they were both available and they enjoyed each other's company.

Ellie Was Used To High Profile Boyfriends

Image source MTVCracks started to appear when Harry had to cancel dates due to commitments.  Ellie has made no secret that she struggles with her mental health and she didn't think a long term partnership with the Prince was what she wanted.  They have remained friends to this day.

8. Florence Brudenell-Bruce Hooked Harry

Image source ImbDFlorence Brudenell-Bruce was approached by Prince Harry at a friend's wedding.  Both were singe at the time, although Harry was still off and on with Chelsy Davy.  This week it was off!  Florence intrigued Harry, especially when he found out she was a lingerie model with legs as long as a ladder!

Florence Had Royal Connections

Image source Tatler

Born into an aristocratic family and used to mixing in 'all the right places', she was unphased by the Prince and they reportedly 'clicked within minutes'.  They shared mutual friends, shared a bottle of bubbly and then shared a lift home (not to save on the taxi fare!)

Florence Ticked All The Boxes For Harry

Image source AchetronFlorence and her legs were in great demand and her modelling work took her all over the world, leaving little time for romance. Harry travelled to catch up with her and was spotted at the Milan Fashion Show where Florence was displaying her assets.  Chelsy was out of his life at this stage so there was nothing to stop this relationship flourishing.

This Could Go The Distance

Image source MetroEverything was rosy and Harry was in love again.  As things got serious, scandal started dripping into the Palace, in the form of gossip surrounding Florence's family.  There were unsavoury goings on involving her brother and other close relatives.  Without much warning, Florence and Harry were no more.

9. Cressida Bonas Was The Number One Choice

Image source GlamourCressida Bonas and Princess Eugenie were close friends and when Harry was single, yet again, his cousin decided to do a bit of matchmaking.  Cressida was from 'good stock'; her father was a descendant of King Charles II and there was no scandal within her family.  The meeting was set up with surprising results.Image source The IndependentThe instant chemistry and amount of shared hobbies and interests meant this coupling could be a match made in heaven.  As Eugenie was the one to set them up and Harry was (and still is) extremely close to her, lots of double dating ensued and a fairy story was unravelling and spilling into the public domain.

Cressida And Harry Were Inseparable

Image source The SunCressida moved into a flat closer to the Prince's residence and APPEARED to be dealing well with the increased publicity surrounding her.  That wasn't the case.  She couldn't leave her front door without the flash of a camera picking up on her every move and it all became too much.  She called time on her relationship for her own sanity.

10. Camilla Thurlow, 'Love Island' Beauty, Is An Instant Hit With Harry

Image source Love Island WikiCamilla and Prince Harry locked eyes after meeting each other in a club.  Harry was with his usual crowd and one of the boys asked Camilla and her 3 friends to join them for champagne.  Harry made a beeline for Camilla and chatted to her for the rest of the evening.  She was more than just a pretty face.

Camilla Had Brains As Well As Beauty

Image source The Famous PeopleThe former Miss Edinburgh, Camilla worked in Explosive Ordnance Disposal and was involved in 'The Halo Trust' charity, the charity Harry's mother, Princess Diana, had visited in 1997.  Harry was attracted to Camilla's depth of character and he fell for her right away, even suggesting something wild the same evening.

Were Feelings Mutual?

Image source The Famous PeopleHarry asked Camilla to go on holiday with him!  They had known each other about 6 hours.  She agreed to accompany him to St. Tropez, along with a group of friends and they got to know each other properly.  Harry doted on her but, even though she was totally flattered, the feelings were one sided.

The Happiest of Endings That Wasn't Expected

Image source The Famous PeopleBack home to reality - joining the reality show 'Love island'!  What was supposed to be a fun experience and earn money on the back of it, turned out to be so much more.  Camilla was paired with Jamie Jewitt and he really was her knight in shining armour.  They are now married and have welcomed a second baby together.

11. Chelsy Davy, Harry's Longest Lasting Girlfriend

Image source NewsBeezerPrince Harry and Chelsy were at neighbouring schools in the UK but as Zimbabwean Chelsy moved to South Africa to study law, they had to maintain a long distance relationship.  Whenever he could, Harry would make the long journey to see the girl he had fallen in love with.  They particularly enjoyed time spent together in Cape Town.

Chelsy Was Always A Great Supported To Harry

Image source Closer WeeklyWhen the couple returned to the UK, Chelsy met the Queen, as well as Prince Charles and Camilla.  She had already been introduced to William and Kate and got on extremely well with them.  Chelsy was by Harry's side at the Diana Memorial concert and important military events.

Chelsy Was Always By His Side

Image source Grazia DailyThere were plenty of opportunities to see Harry and Chelsy as she was almost always by Harry's side.  It wasn't a bed of roses as the media's obvious interest in them resulted in a life of being clicked by long lens cameras, something Harry accepted but not so easy for Chelsy.  It often became too much for her and they split up and got back together many, many times.

Were Cracks Starting to Appear?

newsfounded.comAs with Princess Diana, the intrusion of cameras was constant and was affecting Harry and Chelsy's partnership.  She was invited to William and Kate's wedding in 2011 and felt the struggle was too much.  Was this the life she would be marrying into herself  one day?  She couldn't cope with it and they finally split for good shortly afterwards.

12. Meghan Markle, TV Actress In 'Suits', Bagged Harry

Image source Yahoo.comMiss Markle was a tv actress, gaining popularity in the legal drama 'Suits'.  She also became well known through writing a lifestyle blog.  Meghan was divorced from her first husband and was, according to her friends, looking for a British partner.  She went as far as to ask social butterfly, Lizzie Cundy, to set up some introductions.

A Blind Date Was On The Cards

Image source Telegraph.co.ukThe date was set up by a mutual friend, a small dinner party where Meghan and Harry would meet each other.  Apparently, they hit it off almost instantly and talked the whole evening, unaware of the guests around them.  A further date was arranged and that was the start of their relationship. Joe Public didn't get wind of it for over a year, at which time they made a joint appearance at 'The Invictus Games'.

Sealed With A Kiss - And A Ring

Image source Harpers BazaarThe lovebirds made it official and got engaged.  Fast forward to 2018, the Royal Wedding could be seen by millions on the telly.  We loved Meghan, we loved the fact Harry had finally settled down after ALL his previous girlfriends. They would live happy ever after at Frogmore House, Meghan supporting her husband at all his royal engagements.  Their life in the UK was a solid as a rock..........

Meghan and Harry Want Out!

Image source insider.comIntense scrutiny of the newlyweds became all too much.  They relocated to the States for a quiet life to bring up their son Archie and future daughter, Lillibet.  They achieved their dream of stepping back by undertaking an in depth, tell all interview with Oprah, signing up for various projects with Netflix and have a camera crew follow them around their daily lives, at their own request.  As long as they are happy, then that is what counts.
