Following a 2009 breakup, Davy and Harry resumed their romance, and the two even went on a date to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding in 2011. Despite ending their relationship permanently, Davy said they will “always remain friends.”

But they broke up as soon as the connection became known. “That was it as soon as the news spread. We had to cut off our contact. I was Caroline Flack, Prince Harry’s bit of rough, not Caroline Flack, TV presenter “Flack said.

The two were subsequently seen kissing after spending a lot of time “sitting together beneath blankets,” according to sources (even though there is no photograph of this). After Goulding performed at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding in 2011 and then again at Prince Harry’s Invictus Games in 2014, the two are said to have known one other for a long time.

In 2016, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle started dating covertly, but things took a serious turn. The monarch issued a rare public statement encouraging people to stop bothering Markle and her family months after they started dating. The two kept their relationship very private, although they did go on a weeks-long safari together in Africa and Markle attended with Harry to Pippa Middleton’s wedding. The pair made their royal engagement announcement after finally seeing the Queen. Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana, their two children, were born on May 19, 2018, the day after their wedding. They now reside in California with their kids after resigning from their position as senior royals.
