Prince Harry and Pippa Middleton have poured cold water on speculation about a blooming love affair between William and Kate’s younger siblings by making it clear they are seeing other people.
Harry has reportedly acknowledged that his on-off relationship with ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy is going nowhere, and is now dating a lingerie model of aristocratic pedigree, Florence Brudenell-Bruce, who is a distant relation of his stepmother, the Duchess of Cornwall.
Ms Brudenell-Bruce recently broke up with her boyfriend of three years, Henry St George, the son of racehorse-owner and close friend to the Queen, Edward St George.
However, she has said she plans to move to Los Angeles later this year, so Prince Harry may be bracing for a long-distance romance.
Meanwhile, Pippa Middleton, the younger sister of Prince William’s wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, has stepped out at Wimbledon hand-in-hand with her long-term boyfriend, former cricket player Alex Loudon, to quell speculation that they have broken up.
In what may be a case of wishful thinking, tabloids have linked Harry with Pippa since Kate’s bridesmaid caught the world’s attention at the royal wedding in her figure-hugging white dress.
