Chelsy Davy was Harry’s first serious girlfriend. From 2004 to 2011, they had an on-again and off-again relationship. During their relationship, Chelsey met the late Queen Elizabeth II and even attended Kate and William’s wedding. However, their relationship ended as the attention Chelsy received was too much for her.

Speaking with The Times, Chelsy said: “It was so full-on: crazy and scary and uncomfortable. I found it very difficult when it was bad. I couldn’t cope.” She said that she and Harry “will always be good friends”, and she was even a guest at his and Meghan’s wedding.

Astrid Harbord

Astrid Harbord is a friend of Kate Middleton and back in 2009, Astrid and Harry were reportedly linked to each other after being spotted together in London. They reportedly spent a night at a club together before heading back to Clarence House at three in the morning.

Caroline Flack

Caroline Flack and Prince Harry were reportedly introduced to one another by their mutual friend Natalie Pinkham. Caroline reportedly told friends Harry was “really sweet”, but like many of his other relationships, the pressure of the attention from the press was too much for her. In her autobiography, Caroline said: “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

They reportedly met at the Asprey World Class Cup at Surrey’s Hurtwood Polo Club in 2010 and she said she met Harry and they “did go out for a drink”. However, their relationship soon came to an end because “she was too open about their relationship.”

Shortly after his split from Chelsy Davy, Harry had a brief romance with Camilla Romestrand. The Norwegian singer reportedly told her friends Prince Harry made her breakfast in bed after she spent the night at Clarence House.

Florence is the daughter of the Earl of Cardigan, and apparently they broke up because Harry didn’t want to be tied down.

Harry and Cressida dated for two years from 2012 to 2014, and some even thought they would get married. Cressida and Harry reportedly broke up after she watched the coverage of William and Kate’s Australian tour, saying she didn’t want the attention that came with being a royal.
