Bumping into your ex-girlfriend’s new lover is never easy, particularly when that new man is richer, younger and third in line to the throne of England.
But Formula One driver Jenson Button seemed to enjoy chatting to Prince Harry at the British Grand Prix on Sunday, despite the fact that Harry is rumoured to be dating his ex-girlfriend.

Harry, 26, and lingerie model Florence Brudenell-Bruce have reportedly been “an item” since last month, after a series of reported “secret trysts”.
Jenson, 31, dated Florence from 2006 to 2008, and didn’t appear to mind that she was now dating Harry.
The prince and the driver were photographed chatting and laughing at the British race event in Silverstone, England, on Sunday. They appeared to get on extremely well, with Harry telling friends he would be rooting for Jenson in the race.

Harry has been in an on/off relationship with Zimbabwean-born trainee lawyer Chelsy Davy for several years, but they are believed to have gone their separate ways in June.
The prince has reportedly been dating Florence ever since, though royal officials refuse to confirm the romance.
“We don’t comment on the Prince’s personal life,” a Clarence House spokesman said at the time.
