A guide to Prince Harry's ex-girlfriends

Many speculated Harry would marry the blue-blooded Cressida Bonas when they were first linked together in May 2012. Bonas is a descendant of King Charles II and her mother is Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon, the daughter of Earl Howe.

She studied dance at Leeds University, pursued acting, and modeled for Mulberry. When Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie introduced the two to each other, it seemed like the aristocratic Bonas was a perfectly suitable fit for palace life.

The couple went on trips together to Switzerland, attended concerts, and were even spotted on date nights at burger joints. Despite appearing to be on the same wavelength, Bonas and Harry ended their relationship amicably in 2014.

Bonas has since continued her acting career, starring as Sonia Orwell in the play “Mrs. Orwell” in 2017.

Don’t let the headlines fool you. They may have been “spotted” together at one point or another, but Harry never seriously dated singer Natalie Imbruglia or actress Emma Watson.

He was, however, reportedly seen with pop star Ellie Goulding at the 2016 Audi Polo Challenge with eyewitnesses saying the two “spent a lot of time sitting under blankets.”

During a 2016 interview with “The Project TV,” Goulding’s interviewers asked her if she planned on having a baby with Prince Harry anytime soon. A mortified Goulding responded “no” to the question regarding having children with anyone, Harry included, and called her interviewers out for being “naughty, naughty people.”

Harry has been actually been turned down for dates. In 2018, actress Katie Cassidy shared with “Entertainment Tonight” that she had randomly met Harry in 2014 while on vacation with friends in Miami.

Harry and his friends, who appeared to be having a bachelor party, invited Cassidy and her friends out with them. The group of women thanked them for their offer but decided not to party with Harry and his bachelor friends that night. Cassidy saw Harry the next day at the pool and recalled that he was completely understanding and respectful about the declined offer.

Reports have circulated that Harry’s most prominent ex-girlfriends, Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas, have been extended invitations to attend the royal wedding. If the gossip proves to be true, is it a good idea for Chelsy and Cressida to attend or should they stay home?

Jerramy Fine, author of “In Defense of the Princess,” royalist, and Anglophile, predicts that if they were invited, both will be in attendance. “I think Chelsy and Cressida both cared for Harry and had fun with him. Upper-class Brits keep their social circles small and loyal. If you are friends, you stay friends, even you have dated in the past,” he said.
