Uh-oh! Prince Harry was reportedly urged to ask "X-Factor" U.K. host Cheryl Versini-Fernandez's hand in marriage. Based on the reports, 2016 BT Sport Industry Awards' host Mark Durden-Smith challenged the 31-year-old royal bachelor to marry Versini-Fernandez as part of his royal duties.
The Cheryl Versini-Fernandez Wedding Challenge
At the 2016 BT Sport Industry Awards on Apr. 28 at the Battersea Evolution in central London, Prince Harry and former tennis star Tim Henman presented the outstanding contribution award to Andy Murray's family. Since Andy was not able to make it to the event because of the French Open, his brother along with his mom and tennis coach Judy accepted the recognition in his behalf.
The event, however, turned comical when Durden-Smith primed Prince Harry and Henman as son-in-law material. Then, the host couldn't resist to drop a joke, urging Prince William's younger brother to marry Cheryl Versini-Fernandez, who recently broke off with her second husband and currently dating One Direction band member Liam Payne, Daily Mirror notes.
"I know you take your royal duties very seriously Harry and I think one of the duties that the nation would like you to perform is to marry Cheryl Fernandez-Versini," Durden-Smith said. "It's what the nation wants Harry so give it some thought."
After hearing Durden-Smith's comments, Prince Harry just raised an eyebrow to the host. But would Cheryl Versini-Fernandez be interested if Prince Harry asked her to marry him?
Prince Harry's Ex-Girlfriend Natalie Pinkham
Aside from being pressured to find a bride, Prince Harry also almost had an awkward encounter with his pregnant and married ex-girlfriend Natalie Pinkham, who also attended the BT Sport Industry Awards. According to Us Weekly, the exes didn't appear to meet at the event.
Prince Harry and 37-year-old Pinkham reportedly dated 2003. The ex-couple first met at the Rugby World Cup in 1999.
Prince Harry's New Love Interest
Meanwhile, Prince Harry is getting ready for the upcoming Paralympic-style sporting event Invictus Games in Orlando, Florida on May 8-12 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. But rumors have it that the redheaded royal is allegedly dating a pretty, tall blonde sports therapist, Daily Mail reveals.
Prince Harry is reportedly serious about his new love interest and only told two people about her - Guy Pelly and his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy. The prince is keeping his alleged relationship private to avoid the pressure of family and friends who are eagerly interested in his marriage pursuits.
