Prince Harry has had a rough patch in his dating life, with the most recent debacles concerning Pippa Middleton, Ellie Goulding and American teen Olivia Pallet. In being linked to Prince Harry Pippa Middleton, Ellie Goulding and E Street rocker's daughter Olivia Pallet received unwieldy public attention.
With Pippa Middleton, Prince Harry protested and won against newspaper reports insinuating unseemly hook up during the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2011. The Telegraph reports that Prince Harry appealed for intervention by the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) over the Pippa Middleton secret romance story.
Luckily, IPSO took the side of Prince Harry and Pippa Middleton on the complaint. The Prince Harry and Pippa Middleton loveteam gained fandom after the pair came to public attention at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Pippa Middleton, however, is in a current relationship and so Prince Harry was thought fair game for a team up with Ellie Goulding. As The Daily Mail reports, photos of Prince Harry and Ellie Goulding hugging were recently dug up from the 2015 Invictus Games, where the pop star lent her support for the cause.
Neither Prince Harry nor Ellie Goulding paid attention to the hype. Prince Harry went about his engagements as normal while Ellie Goulding performed at shows without reference to the pair up.
According to Vanity Fair, Prince Harry expressed awareness of the quick associations made on him with females as Pippa Middleton and Ellie Goulding. "The other concern is that even if I talk to a girl, that person is then suddenly my wife, and people go knocking on her door."
A report by People cites stories on the past relationship between Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy. According to the media outlet, media and public intrusion made the relationship between Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy difficult.
In a manner of speaking Prince Harry would need to have a girlfriend who is famous or has the savvy and poise to handle global attention. Prince Harry being as much a global figure as he is royalty, His Royal Highness' new girlfriend must be used to handling fame in her own right.
Parent Herald cites Vanity Fair in reporting that Prince Harry is bent on helping his new girlfriend cope with the weight of media and public attention. Before Prince Harry and his new girlfriend make their relationship known, His Royal Highness intends to make sure his ladylove is ready for the onslaught.
