I haven’t done much, if any coverage of Prince Harry’s girlfriend of two months or so, Florence Brudenell-Bruce. You know why? Because I took one look at that chick and thought, “This too shall pass.” Sure, “Flee” (or whatever her nickname was) is pretty and blonde, and she had the right mix of trashy (lingerie pinup modeling shots) and classy (she lives a middle-class life, much like Kate Middleton used to), but it was pretty clear that the media and Harry’s family wanted Flee to happen more than Harry wanted it. To him, Flee was just another blonde, one of many that were interchangeable. Anyway, Harry and Flee broke up. Predictable.
Prince Harry and model Florence Brudenell-Bruce have gone their separate ways as he concentrates on his army career, according to Tuesday’s Daily Mirror.
The paper claims Harry, 26, doesn’t want to commit to any relationship while he’s in the midst of getting “combat ready” in his helicopter training – though he did enjoy spending time with Brudenell-Bruce, 25, this summer.
A source close to the royal family tells PEOPLE, “He is so focused on the army and seems intent of going back to the war zone.”
The prince and the lingerie model, whose nickname is Flee, have not been seen publicly together since they were first said to be dating in late June.
Two weeks ago, Harry visited Majorca with some friends and was on vacation in the U.K. before returning to his Army Air Corps base.
In the final stages of learning to pilot Apache attack helicopters, the prince is headed to Arizona, where he’ll remain until the Christmas holidays in order to train over the rocky, desert terrain.

I knew it didn’t look good for Flee when Harry went on that vacation without her. Poor girl – used and tossed aside by the Ginger Prince. Something tells me that Chelsy Davy is getting some drunk phone calls right about now… he’s probably proclaiming his undying love to her as we speak. What is Chelsy’s hold on him? I don’t get it.
But Harry’s coming to Arizona?!? Arizona sluts, get ready. Every girl in Arizona needs to go blonde! One of you (at least) needs to get Harry to forget about Chelsy. And then, nine months after his visit, lots of ginger babies are going to born in Arizona.

Just hope he didn’t end it with her to be with that oompa loompa Chelsey Davy.
I think Harry’s attraction to Chelsy is that she really doesn’t give a flying f*ck what he does. She has a strong personality, a law career, strong ties to her family and homeland, and Harry seems to appreciate these qualities. She’s kind of masculine in the way she approaches life and isn’t one of those pretty, vacuous, wimpy girls who rely on a rich family and high society contacts to get along.
It would be entertaining if Harry started dating Paris Hilton. Or even better Tigers Ex Elin – they would be a good match.
Flee comes from a really good family, read: royal ties. There’s a reason she carries around a mouthful of a name like Brudenell-Bruce. Look up the names. Harry’s not the first famous guy she’s dated, he won’t be the last. But all this is whatever. Harry is SINGLE again! Hallelujiah!
oh i wish i were in AZ!! harry is fantastic for gossip, so hopefully some good stuff will go down while he’s in the states. I think Jaded hit the nail on the head about Chelsy Davy.
I love my boyfriend to death and would never cheat on him but for a millisecond, my heart did a little leap at the thought of him coming to the states 🙂 eh, hope he finds happiness – (if I were single and in AZ, I would absolutely at least try…)
He’s a spoiled douche bag just like the rest of the men in the royal family. He’s also ugly and smug.
I’m on it!!!! I’m going to Wal-Mart RIGHT NOW and buying bottles of bleach for my daughters!
@Cathy, For the love of all things sacred, please
take your daughters to a proper hair salon! 😉
We wil probably see pics of him with Chelsy soon
Arizona eh? So close to Vegas. Sooo close…And both only one state away from me! **evil laugh**
Going to call my hair girl right now!
Jaded – You’re right on the money.
Finally, a reason to be excited that my parents snowbird in Arizona!
I’m bleach blonde, slightly trashy and as a Canadian I do have the commonwealth going for me. I think I have a slutty, fighting chance.
When I land him I just hope I never get connected back to my “rarrrr Ginger Prince” posts.
I actually think Harry is over Chelsy. There is only much ‘split up and get back together only to split again’ you can do with someone. Seems to me it’s everyone else that seems to think he has some undying love for her. Frankly I think he’s over the whole thing and good for him.
He’ll probably be stuck on a base somewhere in the middle of nowhere in the desert.
This Flee chick might have a chance later in life but for the most part news stories have been going around that he has to go to AZ and Afghanistan, did she really think she had a chance? He’s booked for the next year or so.
Zzzzzzzzz – I don’t think it will ever really be over. Chelsy has something on him and they’ve been skirting around this will they or won’t they get married thing for or 7 years. She’s the only girl that has lasted and she’s the one he goes back to when he’s done with the others. Now that she’s in London for good, she’s cemented herself in his life permanently. She played with him for years (going back and forth from the UK to SA) but it’s clear now that she’s made her home in London and will continue to hang with his circle of friends. There’s no escaping her. If he doesn’t marry her, she’ll be his Camilla.
And if he does marry her, we’ll know the Queen is slipping in her old age. First Waity (the social climber), and then Chelsy (with her shady family business dealings)? 20 or 30 years ago neither of those girls would have lasted as long as they have. I bet Charles and Andrew are wishing she’d been that soft on them. Might have saved them the whole Diana and Fergie debacle (though I think Andrew still loves Fergie and if it weren’t for the Queen they’d be back together).
I think all the co-eds at Arizona State and Arizona are already his type. He is very cute, so maybe he will meet his soul mate over here.
Harry evidently likes baby-faced blondes with no distinguishing facial characteristics. Little fat noses, no visible cheekbones, long stringy hair. The world is full of them, so he’ll never lack for someone to hang around with. With no pressure to breed & an apparently full head of hair, he can play out an extended bachelorhood for years.
Pippa or Elin Nordegren
@taxi-I completely agree, especially about the full head of hair. I think Prince William hustled down the aisle to beat his prematurely balding crown:)
I’m rooting for one of us “Yanks”
*Team Arizona*
Am i the only one that gets the feeling he’s going to end up with an actress?
“Used and tossed aside”…WOW. The girl is lovely, young and rich. I’m sure she used him for his connections too, and probably is not lacking for suitors even as I type this.
@Maria
Are you making an assumption or do you have first hand experience with a Royal?
Also, you’re crazy if you think he’s ugly…..
As an Arizona native, I’m excited about this news!!! 😉
Ya-as an Arizonan I can say that there are tons of blondes with a bit of trashy about them at ASU. He’s headed to the right place. I know that there are Apache training units about 3 hours south of Phoenix but am not sure of any others.
I’m just gobsmacked a grown woman would call herself Flee. Are we sure it isn’t Flea? 😉
Pippa needs the bleach pronto!
Also, Harry is clearly lowering Royal standards here if he will give so much as a slightest bit of attention to any Arizonian (what do you call them anyway) middle-class girl or any American whatsoever aka The Great Unwashed.
But surely that’s not surprising, the Royal standards has slipped these past few years, marrying nobodies left and right and coming at a crux with that Royal Wedding a few months ago. The purists are crying as we speak.
G: I just noticed her last name, part of it anyway, Bruce.
Is this the Bruce family of Scotland, direct descendants of Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland and a contemporary of William Wallace, Braveheart? If so, this girl is a gold plated aristocrat. Her family name goes back 900 years.
Whenever I see him I just think of Scott Farkus from A Christmas Story. He just looks like such a jerk.
He and that crazy sheriff should get on well. Keep him please.
I live in Arizona. Wonder if he’s going to stop in Tempe where I live.
I happen to live in Arizona and I live close to the training grounds where a lot of sexy international men come to train for combat missions. There are few bars and places for “glamorous” types to blend in, so there is often a huge abundance of these special forces officers and such and very VERY few women. The mountains here look like the middle east so basically all of our allies in the world pass through here to train at some point. Matter of fact, the airport here is in charge of all of the training for the international pilots… to be honest it’s a single or unhappily married woman’s paradise… italian pilots, irish and scottish special and black ops and south american engineers…. could go on and on… too bad I’m a businesswoman with no interest in marriage!
JMHO, but I think Harry is absolutely drawn to Chelsy and the fact that she is fun and wild and free. None of the other “acceptable” girls he’s dated can hold his interest. Chelsy might “want” to be on Harry’s arm, but she does not “need” to be. She knows who she is and what she wants, and feels she’s his equal, and she doesn’t want to budge an inch to conform to the plan the royal family has for Harry. If he’d lose the family allegiance and run away with her, she’d be happy, but he is torn between what Chelsy wants, and feelings of loyalty to the family. Must be hard for both of them and they probably just can’t reach any type of acceptable happy medium. Maybe they hope that with time, it will miraculously work itself out. Or maybe it won’t. This is similar to what happened with his Dad and Camilla. Hope history doesn’t repeat itself for Harry and Chelsy’s sake.
Funny post, Roma!
