But, before Meghan, the royal prince had other women in his life. Take a look at Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriends.
1. CAROLINE FLACK
In June of 2009, Prince Harry was linked to X Factor host Caroline Flack.
According to Harper’s Bazaar, Flack shared that they were set up by a mutual friend, but broke up when their relationship went public.
“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,'” Flack revealed.
Two years later she shocked fans by dating a then 17-year-old Harry Styles, who was 14 years her junior.
2. ZIMBABWEAN-BORN CHELSY DAVY ALSO DATED PRINCE HARRY
During Prince Harry’s gap year in Cape Town in 2004, he met Zimbabwean-born Chelsy Davy. This became the Duke’s longest relationship to date as it lasted on-and-off again from 2004 to 2011.
Many believed that the two former lovers would end up getting married as Davy was even Harry’s date to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding in 2011.
However, according to Cosmopolitan, Davy broke things off due to the pressures of being a royal girlfriend as she wanted to live a normal life away from the paparazzi.

According to The Daily Mail, a source reported at the time that Harry was “absolutely infatuated” with the TV host, however, none of them confirmed their relationship.

She is now married to business man Henry Edward Hugh St George.
