Oh, come On!  That wasn't a serious question/comment by Kate! She wasn't really suggesting that Jenna was consulting Harry about Queen Vic or anything else, just being coy about the romance rumours of months ago.

Harry's not an emotionally cool individual though. When he was genuinely in love there were plenty of PDA, (public demonstrations of affection) between he and Chelsy. A girlfriend told one of his biographers that he had contacted her once with a huge bunch of flowers and a note stating that he felt he was falling in love with her. When Harry has feelings for a person everyone around can see he cares, as those of us who followed the Chelsy years know. People who have that sort of persona don't just settle for companionship etc.

She was unnamed AFAIR, and was in Hutchins's 'Harry the People's Prince' I believe, and I took it as happening during his twenties. Hutchins even interviewed one of the girls Harry had dated when at Eton. Even though this particular girl was unnamed it sounds very much like Harry behaviour from his schoolboy days on.

he seemed more eager to show how he feels when he was younger because it was all new to him. I don't think he is really interested in having those feelings for a woman now. he didn't go more than a few months without dating back then. probably explains why tabloids are trying so hard to link him with any lady he's pictured with whether she already has a boyfriend ( jenna, margo ) or related ( lady kitty, pippa). tabloids are running out of female friends. I suspect they'll go back to linking him back to his exes once he goes back to london.

Oh, I don't know. He grabbed hold of Cressida Bonas and hugged her tight on the snow slopes when they were in Switzerland and first dating. Plus there were stories when they were on that same trip that he was jiggling her on his knee and they were kissing passionately when out to dinner with Fergie and Andrew and their daughters, to an extent that some patrons found OTT. That wasn't that long ago.
As I've said before, he's 31 not 41 and he may well start dating again seriously before long. I've been following him since his teens because a niece adored him and I collected clippings for her and grew to like Harry.
A leopard doesn't change its spots and adults don't change their basic personality. Time enough to say he's given up on love and PDAs when he's reached forty and hasn't dated seriously for years, IMHO.

In a person's 20s, they're fresh out to grab a hold of everything the world has to offer. They're invincible. They're madly and passionately "in love". Harry went through all this and the world was his oyster. Then came the military, Afghanistan and taking on more responsibilities and finding the roads he wanted to travel on. He's still finding his niche in the adult world and the devil-may-care party till you drop has taken a back seat mostly as other passions are coming into focus such as Africa.
I'm happy its this way rather than falling in love, getting married and starting a family before finding what direction he wanted to go in life.

He was used to having someone to go out with every couple months then. imo he just doesn't seem concerned with the sudden rush of being with another in such a short period of time now. for him to go 3 years now without that, tells me there is a change in his personality. not much of a romantic type

Oh, she still likes Harry, but she's had a very nice boyfriend of her own for the last couple of years so she might be married herself!

Yep. He's growing up and maturing. His deployment into war most certainly changed how he views things.
It seems to me he's living his life and content with it...yes he wants to marry and have children (he's said it more than once) but I don't think he's out hunting down women....I have a feeling he simply hopes to meet someone along the way that shares his interests and can tolerate the intense media craziness that will come along with him. I could guess he might even think he will have a very hard time finding someone since who really wants all the baggage that comes with him?

I was under the impression that (upper-class) British people only showed affection (never mind "love") for dogs and horses.
Sorry, I was just kidding, but I couldn't resist (maybe I'm watching too much Downton Abbey).

One's personality doesn't "change", it matures, and while he was madly in love in his youth, like everyone else he has grown up and keeps as much of his private life private as he can. If he doesn't his entire life is reduced to "the girl".

I am in total agreement.
Harry has "dated" many women between the two 'longer than a year' girlfriends. Why not, he was young, good looking and single, just like his mates. But the majority of those mates are now married and, like his brother, have kids. He's not going to be out partying with the current 'in' crowd, they're ten years younger and not his close friends.
Harry has moved on and I guess he hopes to meet someone special along the way. Whatever else he is doing, he's not frantically wife hunting!

Thus far I fear none of his conquests have adhered to this mad woman's rules. Perhaps that is why they failed. NOT!

 Lovely shots. That is what I expect to see when Harry finds someone to love and doesn't care who knows.

Yes, a terrific look back at happy days! I'm sure both have some wonderful memories of their time together.

He is not wife hunting because h'es not interested in marriage. he is almost certainly having very short lived casual relationships that are ended too soon for the press or anyone to pick up on them. A few actress types seem to have tried to chatter about their firendships with him to the papers but overall I suspect that he's making sure that the girls don't talk...
