Prince Harry's dating history.
Meghan Markle.
American actress.
2016-Present.
"In 2016, Harry met actress Meghan Markle, whom he has fiercely defended against tabloid criticism. She's older than Harry, biracial, divorced and American, not the typical background for a British princess, which has brought on racist and sexist attacks. But the couple represents many of the changes in how their countries pair off: In the United States, one in six newlyweds are marrying someone of a different race or ethnicity, and in Britain, one in 10 marriages is interracial. Speaking to the BBC, a 28-year-old French and British woman who's in an interracial marriage said of the royal couple: "This will set a great example for England and it's an honest representation of British society."

"Prince Harry reportedly connected with Meghan Markle in Toronto, where she shoots "Suits," in May 2016 while promoting the Invictus Games. It's been claimed they were introduced by a mutual friend, Anderson Markus, a consultant for the Soho House Group. The royal and the American actress managed to keep their relationship on the down-low until October, and in November, Harry made the unusual move of publicly confirming that Meghan was his girlfriend in an official palace statement. The pair have only gotten more serious since then, with Meghan accompanying Harry to a pal's Jamaica nuptials in March 2017 as well as to Pippa Middleton's wedding reception in May. They made their first public appearance as a couple at the Invictus Games in Toronto in September and on Nov. 27, Prince Charles announced to the world via Twitter that his youngest son and Meghan were engaged to be married in the spring of 2018."

Sarah Ann Macklin

British model.
""PRINCE Harry may have also dated an English model around the time he then attempted to win over US actress Meghan Markle, it has been revealed. It is not clear if the two definitely overlapped, but the 32-year-old Prince is said to have also gone on dates with Burberry model Sarah Ann Macklin around the months he was wooing his current love interest. The Mail on Sunday has reported the 27-year-old model did spend time with the royal during the summer after meeting him at a private party, but that it fizzled out. Friends of the former girlfriend of fellow model David Gandy say she was bombarded with texts to go out with the Prince. This is also said to be how he got the attention of TV star Meghan Markle, 35, after meeting earlier this year. A source close to Miss Macklin told the Mail on Sunday: “Their fling is an open secret among her friends. “David Gandy knew that Harry was pursuing her and tried to get her back. At one point she had the country’s most famous male model and a prince vying for her affection, and the novelty was not lost on her.” Friends said the pair were never really on the same wavelength and the relationship ended before Harry went to Africa for a month.'"

Because of all the media attention she’s receiving after hooking up with Prince Harry, she’s had to make many of her social media accounts private. That in itself, is a telltale sign. Recently, in an article in The Telegraph Harry spoke candidly about his dating life. Reflecting on his failed relationships with Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas, he said, “If or when I do find a girlfriend, I will do my utmost… to ensure that me and her can get to the point where we’re actually comfortable with each other before the massive invasion that is inevitably going to happen into her privacy.'

"Harry went to Verbier with his bohemian new girlfriend, Cressida Bonas, to celebrate her twenty-fifth birthday. They had met in May 2012, introduced by his cousin and good friend Princess Eugenie, who had known Cressida for years. She is the daughter of the 1960s socialite and model Lady Mary Gaye Curzon, whose late father was the 6th Earl Howe and heir to the Curzon banking dynasty. Cressida has a complicated assortment of half-siblings, as well as step-relatives who have come and gone from her life. Her childhood was turbulent, like Harry's. . . Cressida's father, Jeffrey Bonas, a businessman and entrepreneur who lives in Norfolk, is a less popular, more controversial figure. But, despite the privileges of an aristocratic background, a good education, good looks, brains and talent, life cannot have been easy for Cressida. Her mother married three times before she married Jeffrey Bonas; Cressida was her fifth child---which is why, when she's not known as Cressy, she's called Smalls or Smally." (Royal Sex)
Harry and actress Cressida Bonas dated from 2012 to 2014 after allegedly being introduced by Princess Eugenie. Bonas, an accomplished actress who is clearly more than Harry's ex, recently opened up about being pigeonholed: "Especially in this country, I find that people are very quick to put you in a box or put you in a corner and think, 'Oh well, you're that, so you must be that,'" she revealed. "It's incredibly frustrating, especially in the industry that I'm in. But you know, it is the way it is... It's making a stand and saying, 'Actually no, this is who I am, and this is what I want to do.'" (Marie Claire)

Cara Delevingne.
2013.
"Prince Harry was linked to Cara twice - once in mid-2013, when they were spotted flirting at a party, and again in 2014, when they were seen at a theater. However, after initially sending out a press release, the theater said that Cara wasn't there that night - could Cressida have been mistaken for lookalike Cara? Cara, who was also linked to Harry Styles, said, 'That was just a rumour, they both were. Both Harrys, just rumours.'"(Fashion Style)
"British model turned actress, Delevigne – who is openly bisexual – was linked to Prince Harry on numerous occasions. Based on his taste for leggy blondes, it almost expected that he’d fall for Delevigne, whose grandmother was a lady-in-waiting to the queen’s sister, Princess Margaret. However, Cara made it clear that their relationship was purely platonic. The Suicide Squad star explained how she had a mischievous friendship with the Playboy Prince, often texting him with peculiar jokes." (Viral Thread)
"His daughters enjoyed a more lively social life with the young Royals. In March 2009, history graduate Astrid was seen going back to Clarence House with Prince Harry at 3am following a night on the town. Their chauffeur-driven car entered the Palace by a back gate reserved for members of the Royal Family. A month later it emerged that Harry had attended an illegal rave – or ‘Raav’ as it was called by its affluent attendees – with the Harbord sisters and 400 other revelers in a repossessed office block in Whitechapel, East London. The Prince left the ‘Dress2Sweat’ event at 1.30am with Miss Harbord. His decision to attend the party in an area known for a high crime rate later raised questions about his judgment and safety. Soon afterwards, Astrid, dubbed the ‘coolest blonde to leave Bristol [university] since Jemima Khan’ by society magazine Tatler, embarked on two-year relationship with banking heir James Rothschild. She was said to be devastated when they broke up in September 2011." (Daily Mail)

The 24-year-old Royal is said to be in frequent text contact with the Australian star and was the guest of honour at her 34th birthday party at the Kensington Roof Gardens in West London two weeks ago. The Prince slipped unnoticed into the fancy dress party in a surgeon’s outfit and spent the night drinking and chatting with the stunning brunette, who split from her musician husband Daniel Johns last year. ‘Natalie’s single at the moment. She’s a totally gorgeous girl and very down to earth and lots of fun. It seems that Harry has joined her very long list of admirers. Natalie wasn’t exactly avoiding his attentions. Harry was being very charming, which probably made her feel very fabulous and young. . . One source added that Harry and Natalie have been in regular contact by text since the party – and the Prince was seen beaming happily as he checked his phone messages at England’s Six Nations rugby match against Italy the day after the bash. . . A close friend of Natalie said yesterday: ‘She gets on very well with Harry but I don’t think he’s her type. She tends to go for rock musicians, not public schoolboys.'" (Daily Mail)

Just weeks after he was dumped by long-time girlfriend Chelsy Davy, Harry, 24, is in frequent contact with London-based Natalie, after becoming acquainted with the stunning singer early last month. Insiders say the couple have exchanged a series of flirty text messages since hooking up at Natalie's 34th birthday party on February 6 — two weeks after his split from Chelsy went public. While Clarence House has refused to comment on the romance, sources say the pair have become virtually inseparable since Harry was a surprise guest of honour at Natalie's fancy dress birthday bash, held at London's fashionable Kensington Roof Gardens nightclub. Dressed as a surgeon, onlookers say Harry slipped into the A-list event unnoticed before spending the night chatting to Natalie, who he met through mutual friend Sam Branson, 23, the son of multi-millionaire Virgin boss Richard Branson." (Now to Love)
"When Harry and Chelsy were on a break in 2009, the prince and the Australian actress and singer met through mutual friends and they dated for a few months. During their brief relationship, Harry attended Natalie's birthday party, and they were also spotted bowling and attending a Killers concert together." (Popsugar)"She frequently appears on lists of the world's most beautiful people and her acting stint in the soapie Neighbours might have prepared her for life among the Windsors, but the singer's brief liaison with Harry was doomed. Letting an American into the palace is one thing, but an Australian?" (Sunday Times)
"The 40-year-old Australian singer was first linked to the royal bachelor back in 2009, after Harry's split with Chelsy Davy. The pair were reportedly introduced by Sir Richard Branson's son Sam, and it was said that they enjoyed a close friendship and were in constant contact. Harry and Natalie were often sighted together enjoying cosy meals or fun bowling trips. But did they or didn't they? 'No. I know him. But no,' said Natalie. The pop star also debunked myths that she had a relationship with fellow singers Robbie Williams or Harry Styles, adding: 'No. Never happened." (Express)
"Prince Harry has struck up a close friendship with the singer Natalie Imbruglia following his split from his long-term girlfriend Chelsy Davy. The 24-year-old Royal is said to be in frequent text contact with the Australian star and was the guest of honour at her 34th birthday party at the Kensington Roof Gardens in West London two weeks ago. The Prince slipped unnoticed into the fancy dress party in a surgeon’s outfit and spent the night drinking and chatting with the stunning brunette, who split from her musician husband Daniel Johns last year. ‘Natalie’s single at the moment. She’s a totally gorgeous girl and very down to earth and lots of fun. It seems that Harry has joined her very long list of admirers. Natalie wasn’t exactly avoiding his attentions. Harry was being very charming, which probably made her feel very fabulous and young. . . One source added that Harry and Natalie have been in regular contact by text since the party – and the Prince was seen beaming happily as he checked his phone messages at England’s Six Nations rugby match against Italy the day after the bash. . . A close friend of Natalie said yesterday: ‘She gets on very well with Harry but I don’t think he’s her type. She tends to go for rock musicians, not public schoolboys.'" (Daily Mail)
"Just weeks after splitting with Chelsy Davy, Prince Harry woos Aussie pop star Natalie Imbruglia. Prince Harry may not be mending his broken heart alone, with royal circles abuzz with the news that the hard-partying Prince has struck up a "close friendship" with Australian pop singer Natalie Imbruglia.

Educated at the very prestigious Cheltemham Ladies College and then Stowe, she met Prince Harry in the spring of 2004. But like all of her predecessors the media pressure was very intense and did nothing to help the relationship. Like Prince Andrew, Prince Harry's frequent absences on duty in the Armed Forces put considerable strain on the relationship as did his marked preference for a night out with his army chums. As a result they split up for a short time despite his having spent quality time abroad on holiday in Mozambique and Botswana. he relationship, however, lasted until the early part of 2009 and within a few months Harry was seen in the company of Astrid Harbord, a close friend of Kate Middleton. . . ."

"Harry dated jewelry designer Chelsy Davy from about 2005 to 2010. She's since opened up about dealing with the spotlight during their on-again off-again relationship, saying "It was so full-on: crazy, and scary, and uncomfortable. I found it very difficult when it was bad. I couldn't cope." She also added, "I think we will always be good friends." Chelsy is an accomplished lawyer and currently operates a jewelry line." (Marie Claire)
"Considered Harry’s first love, Chelsy Davy was the daughter of a wealthy Zimbabwean landowner.

They rekindled their romance after a short break in 2009, and was even his date to his older brother’s wedding in 2011. Despite continuing the relationship over a huge distance, Chelsy admitted life as a royal was not for her and the pair went their separate ways.

I was absolutely speechless. I was against the wall, and he literally lifted me off the floor and gave me a lovely kiss which I was stunned by.'" (Fashion Style)
"Okay, so this one is pretty "grain of salt" inspiring. Real Housewife Catherine Ommanney claims she and Harry shared a kiss in 2006, telling The Daily Mail: "He was holding me off the floor, kissing me. I was absolutely speechless."

"Back in 2004, Prince Harry got close with Lauren Pope during a boozy night out at a London nightclub. In 2012, the British beauty, who went on to become a reality TV star in the U.K., claimed that hackers ruined her chances with the young royal by hacking her phone and leaking information about their relationship to the press, which caused Harry to grow distant. "I know now that details about me and Harry were published because of phone hacking. I know for sure because police told me," the longtime star of "The Only Way Is Essex" told the Daily Star Sunday."

Natalie Pinkham.
"Rumours of Natalie, now 37, and Harry's liaison started to whirl in 2006 after pictures surfaced of the pair and a source reported at the time that Harry was 'absolutely infatuated with Natalie'. Yet the relationship didn't blossom further and she went on to marry Endemol executive Owain Walbyoff and the pair have a one-year-old baby boy, with the TV star recently announcing that she is expecting baby number two." (Daily Mail)
"Though their relationship was never official, TV presenter Natalie Pinkham was linked to Prince Harry circa 2003. They reportedly remained friends after things cooled off, and in 2012, she married Owain Walbyoff. She now reports on Formula One racing for Sky." (Cosmopolitan Australia)
"Harry allegedly dated the accomplished F1 presenter Natalie Pinkham in 2003, though they reportedly met for the first time at the 1999 Rugby World Cup. The former pair have since been spotted in the same place—and Pinkham even interviewed Harry at the BGC Partners' Charity Day in London circa 2011. Actually, they seem to have maintained a friendship over the years, with some reports saying they traveled to Africa in 2009. Nowadays, Pinkham is married with two children, and has the most impressive media résumé on the planet." (Marie Claire)

"In one instance, she revealed how she and co-star Margot Robbie, had texted the prince to say that they’d dreamed of him, to which he replied, “You two are obviously together. But I’m extremely glad I was in your dreams.' Robbie went on to reveal that the prince is “the most normal guy ever”. So normal in fact that she “didn’t realize it was him” instead she simply thought he “was a guy named Harry” whom she thought was “a nice guy”." (Viral Thread)
Lady Melissa Percy.
"The blond tennis coach sparked rumours of a romance with Harry back in March when she was snapped having a cigarette with him in the stairwell of London’s Brompton Club. Rumoured to be dating Thomas van Straubenzee on and off, the 23-year-old is the sister of George, Earl Percy – Pippa Middleton’s maybe-man – and the daughter of the 12th Duke of Northumberland. Oh and fun fact: The family home of Alnwick Castle doubled as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies!" (Gulf News)
""When Prince Harry went out clubbing with Lady Melissa ‘Missy’ Percy and was photographed accompanying her out to a dingy stairwell for a smoke and a heart-to-heart the other night, @royalist tweeted that if Harry married Melissa, and Pips married Melissa’s brother George Percy, whom she is dating, then Harry and Pippa would still get to hang out at Christmas every year. Some took issue with the Royalist’s speculative wedding plans for the young Royals inner circle, claiming that Melissa couldn’t possibly so much as contemplate a relationship with Harry because Melissa’s best friend is Chelsy Davy, Harry’s ex whom he split up with after the royal wedding last year convinced the Zimbabwean blonde that joining ‘The Firm’ was not part of her destiny. Furthermore, others pointed out, Lady Melissa is supposed to be in a relationship with none other than ‘Van’, aka Tom Van Straubenzee, Harry’s mate who was viciously attacked by a gang of two muggers in south London last year, and on whose behalf Harry may yet have to appear in court after he raced to the scene to rescue his pal.Lady Melissa Percy, the gorgeous daughter of an ancient, noble, family who have been trusted confidants and allies of the monarchy for generations could be just the girl for the job. As the daughter of the Duke of Northumberland, she knows Harry’s world and she has both the breeding and the family wealth—Alnwick Castle, the family estate, is conservatively valued at half billion US dollars—to insulate her from suspicion by Harry’s family."

Personal & family background.
" . . . Augusta Murray was of impeccable lineage, her father John Murray, fourth Earl of Dunmore, her mother Lady Charlotte Stewart, daughter of the sixth Earl of Galloway, with a descent traceable and (through her father) from James II of Scotland and Edward IV of England and (through her father) from Charles VII of France." (The English Royal Family of America: 214)
Natural offspring:
2. Augusta Emma d'Este, Lady Turo.
First encounter --- 1792.
"In 1792, Augustus spent the winter in Rome, as the warmer climate was better for his asthma. During this time, he met and fell in love with Lady Augusta Murray, a daughter of the Earl of Dunmore who was some years his senior. They were married on 4 April 1793 in a private ceremony without witnesses conducted by an English clergyman, the Reverend Gunn. The ceremony was repeated on 5 December at St. George's Hanover Square, using the names Augustus Frederik and Augusta Murray." (Regency History)
"In the spring of 1793 Prince Augustus fell in love with an English lady who was visiting Rome. The object of Prince Augustus' affection was Lady Augusta Murray (1768-1830). In England, Lady Augusta had established a reputation as something of a flirt, but also was known as a lady of great beauty. The Prince and Lady Augusta first chanced to meet at a church in Rome. There, Prince Augustus gallantly offered to fix a strap on Lady Augusta's shoe, and by the time the prince finished tying the shoe, he was her captive." (The English Royal Family of America: 213)
"Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex (1773-1843), married in April 1793 Lady Augusta Murray, daughter of the Earl of Dunmore, in Rome, and again at St. George's, Hanover Square, in December of the same year. The marriage was dissolved by the Prerogative Court without any reflection of her ladyship's honour in August 1794. On her death in 1830 the Duke proclaimed his marriage with Lady Cecilia, daughter of the Earl of Arran and widow of Sir George Buggin, who had assumed her mother's surname of Underwood. She was created Duchess of Inverness in 1840." (Reflections of a Long Life: 126)

Marriage in 1793.
"Prince Augustus became convinced that he must possess Lady Augusta, but Lady Augusta was not willing to permit the Prince any sexual favors without benefit of matrimony. An Anglican priest, William Gunn, was found in Rome, and he agreed to perform a secret marriage ceremony for the couple. Prince Augustus made no attempt to secure the King's consent to the marraige. It was performed in Rome on April 4, 1793." (The English Royal Family of America: 214)
"The Duke of Sussex, whose marriage with Lady Augusta Murray had been declared null and void, fell deeply in love with Lady Cecilia. Make her Duchess of Sussex he could not; but after Lady Augusta's death he persuaded her to marry him morganatically. As people smiled at the name of Buggin being linked (although left-handedly) with that of a royal Duke, Lady Cecilia took her mother's name of Underwood, and as Lady Cecilia Underwood she presided over his Royal Highness's household, and made him a most devoted wife."

.
"By 1831 Prince Augustus, Duke of Sussex, was older, and one would have thought wiser, but he managed to marry for a second time in violation of the Royal Marriages Act. His second wife was Lady Cecilia Underwood (1793-1873). She was a widow of Sir George Buggin (-1825). She had resumed the use of her maiden name, Underwood, upon her husband's death. They were married on May 2, 1831. The marriage was kept secret for a time. No children were born of this marriage."
"This godmother, Lady Cecilia Gore, who died Duchess of Inverness, had a most romantic history. She was the seventh of the nine daughters of the Earl of Arran, and married when quite a girl a certain Sir George Buggin, who was 'something in the city.' Sir George died not long after their marriage, leaving his widow a very handsome jointure and his very plebeian name. She was charming, pretty, with all the dash and charm for which her countrywomen are famous, and the most seductive Irish brogue. Lord Brougham, who was an avowed admirer of hers, used to declare that if he could only speak with Lady Cecilia's accent people would not stop to inquire as the soundness of his reasoning at the bar.

The highest paid opera singer in England, she was famous for her extraordinary three-octave range and expressive acting and she aimed to take advantage of the city's new status as Europe's favourite aristocratic playground.

She was soon appointed prima donna at the city's San Carlo Opera and the Neapolitans fell in love with her -- so much so that when their priests later declared that Vesuvius erupted to express God's displeasure at seeing a Protestant on the stage of a Catholic city, they ignored them. She and Emma had much in common for both knew the power of an image (indeed, she had copied her hostess's St. Cecilia pose when she had sat for Romney).

In Sir William's handsome rooms, she struck up an intimacy with the plump asthmatic young Prince Augustus, George III's sixth son, who was in disgrace after recently marrying Lady Augusta Murray without his father's permission. When the sumptuous carriages of Mrs. Billington and the Prince were outside the Palazzo, Emma's salon was more of a fair than ever.
