An X Factor star, a Burberry model and a pop princess: Prince Harry’s identikit exes revealed as he’s linked to Ellie Goulding
Prince Harry, aka the world’s most eligible bachelor, appears to have a very specific type as he continues his quest to find ‘The One’
Want to bag yourself a prince? It might be time to dye your hair blonde.
Prince Harry, aka the world’s most eligible bachelor, appears to have a very specific type as he continues his quest to find ‘The One’.
The 31-year-old royal’s little black book is stuffed with gorgeous, doll-faced women who all sport sun-kissed skin, a gym-honed figure and – most importantly – platinum tresses.
As Harry is linked to another golden-haired beauty, we take a look back at his identikit dates.
ELLIE GOULDING
It seems that Harry might finally be off the market.
The handsome prince is believed to be dating Ellie Goulding, 29, after the pair were spotted canoodling at the Audi Polo Challenge last month.
The couple, who have been pals since meeting at Prince William’s wedding in 2011, have exchanged flirty text messages since their rendezvous.
A source close to Harry’s circle told The Sun: “He has told friends how much he likes Ellie and she is clearly taken by him.”
Ellie, who can be found swishing her glossy blonde barnet around on the Pantene adverts at the moment, is single after splitting from McFly star Dougie Poynter in March.
CRESSIDA BONAS
Cressida Bonas’ aristocratic upbringing, penchant for dungarees and flowing blonde mane helped her win Harry’s affections in 2012.
The prince became infatuated with the pretty 27-year-old dance graduate after being introduced to her by his cousin, Princess Eugenie.

The free-spirited pair attended the Glastonbury music festival together, a rugby match at Twickenham and were frequently spotted around London on discreet dates.
But Burberry muse Cressida reportedly called off their two-year romance after struggling to adjust to life in the spotlight.
A friend of the couple revealed in 2014: “It’s very sad that they have decided to split but this is a completely amicable separation and they are remaining the very best of friends.”
FLORENCE BRUDENELL-BRUCE
Lingerie model Florence Brudenell-Bruce was spotted on Harry’s arm in 2011.
The 30-year-old fair-haired waif, who is known to her high-society pals as ‘Flea’, decided to call off their brief summer fling after realising the Windsor way just wasn’t for her.
Florence, who has also been linked to F1 star Jenson Button, went on to marry multi-millionaire Henry St George in a romantic ceremony in the south of France.
She and Harry remain pals and see each other on the party circuit.
CAROLINE FLACK
X Factor host Caroline Flack revealed she was Harry’s “bit of rough” after the pair were introduced via mutual friends in 2009.
The 36-year-old presenter, famed for her trendy blonde bob, said they were forced to call off their romance after the “story got out”.
Caroline detailed their short romance in her autobiography, Storm in a C Cup.
The Love Island star went on to famously date another Harry – in the form of One Direction star Harry Styles.
MOLLIE KING
Pop princess Mollie King bagged herself a few dates with Harry in 2012.
The 29-year-old singer, who is a member of glamorous girl band The Saturdays, confessed to enjoying a cosy night out with the prince saying, “Yes, I have met Harry, and we did go out for a drink.”
But Mollie’s skimpy stage outfits, chart success and blonde tresses wasn’t enough to turn their courtship into a long-term thing.
Harry reportedly called things off and Mollie went on to date male supermodel David Gandy.
CHELSY DAVY
Prince Harry’s first love was Chelsy Davy, the stunning blonde whose dad is a wealthy Zimbabwean landowner.
After meeting through mutual pals in 2004, the pair enjoyed a passionate on-off six-year relationship.
Chelsy, 30, returned to Africa to study while Harry focused on his army career and royal duties.
The socialite came back to the UK to take up a top job at a law firm and was seen accompanying Harry to a number of high-brow events.
Despite attending the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding in 2011, Chelsy admitted life as a princess wasn’t for her.
