Royal Family News: Who Did Prince Harry Date Before Meghan Markle?

Smith notes that Prince Harry had just a couple of serious relationships B.M. (Before Meghan). The first was with Zimbabwean lawyer Chelsy Davy. That lasted from 2004 until 2010. Davy said how much she disliked the spotlight around Harry: “It was so full-on crazy and scary and uncomfortable. I found it very difficult when it was bad. I couldn’t cope, she told the Daily Mail. “I was young, I was trying to be a normal kid and it was horrible. It was nuts. That’s also why I wanted to go back to Africa.”

Then came model and actress Cressida Bonas. They started seeing each other in 2012 but Bonas didn’t like the spotlight either and they broke up in 2014.

According to Smith, “Prince Harry could not get a date. Quite simply, he was the most eligible bachelor in the country — probably the world — so popping up on Tinder to swipe right was not an option. Harry really wanted to meet someone special and settle down. His days of being a teenage tearaway were long gone.”

And then along came Meghan, Duchess of Sussex in 2016 when they were “set up” by a mutual friend. According to the narrative Prince Charming and the former game show Briefcase Girl began dating in and were engaged by 2017.
