Prince Harry got to meet actual royalty: Rihanna, the Queen of Barbados

Now that we know that Prince Harry will date non-blondes, what are the chances of a Harry-Rihanna hook-up? While I’m hopeful that Meghan Markle sticks around – she’s fun for gossip! – I can’t overlook the potential for a hot night of sex and romance between Rih-Rih and The Ginger One. Harry is still on tour in the Caribbean, and on Wednesday, he attended an event marking the 50th anniversary of Barbados’ independence. Rihanna attended the event, because she’s basically Barbados’ ambassador-at-large at this point. I suspect she also attended the event because she was curious about Harry. Notice how his face lit up like Christmas when he saw her. Notice how he seems extra focused on her.

So, what are the chances – realistically – that a Harry-Rihanna hook-up would happen? I don’t know. One of my first theories was that if Drake can cozy up to Taylor Swift in an attempt to make Rihanna jelly, two can play that game. I imagine Drake would lose his mind a little bit if Rihanna was suddenly all over a ginger prince. If only Harry was single right now, this speculation would be a lot more fun.

Also, the comments on this tweet are amazing. There are a lot of people wondering how Harry felt meeting actual royalty (“the Queen of Barbados”). Just imagine what would happen if Harry met Beyonce!!! OMG.

    The look on Harry’s face is positively adorable.

    • susie says:

      he looks a bit “star-struck”in the first one, doesn’t he? Priceless!!

    • Nicole says:

      I love it. He looks so excited to meet her. Rih is their unofficial ambassador at this point. I would be down for a Harry and Rih situation

      Also I say this often but his mother would be so proud of the big heart Harry has. He’s definitely her son

  2. Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

    I want Harry to run off into the sunset with Michelle Obama!!! Soz Barack.

  3. Tulip Garden says:

    Rihanna’s face/makeup is in impeccable. I don’t like the dress.
    Harry looks good!

    • TotallyBiased says:

      I’m trying to decide–think the colour is glowing on her, but the material and cut? Riri’s version of hospital scrubs?

      • Tulip Garden says:

        Oh, yeah the color on her is fantastic! It is actually one of my fave colors anyway. The fit and cut just don’t do her justice. She is beautiful, regardless.

      • Bread and Circuses says:

        The material looks rumpled and the cut makes her look stocky rather than wonderfully sleek, which she is. Everything else (makeup, hair, necklace) looks beautiful, though; you’re right.

    • detritus says:

      Universe make this happen, please, and also let there be a videographer present.

    • ravensdaughter says:

      The dress is weird.

  4. Hannah says:

    I doubt Rihanna is jelly of Drake and Taylor, she probably laughed and he’ll never have a chance with her again.

    • Nancy says:

      I agree. I don’t think she was much of a fan of Taylor to begin with and Wheelchair Jimmy was always more in love with her. The pictures are cute….when Harry Met Rihanna!

  5. Cannibell says:

    They both seem very charismatic, based on what I’ve seen and read about them in the past. I’m sure he was star-struck!

  6. suze says:

    Harry’s expression says, “Now this is what I am talking about!”

  7. Lucy says:

    I love everything about this!

  8. Val says:

    You betta bow down Harry.

  9. khymera says:

    Any Bajans here.

    • Lauren says:

      No not Bajan! But I am Guyanese and I know Riri’s momma is Guyanese so I am always like girl represent Guyana too! I would love if she or her mom would be unofficial ambassadors for us too

    • Moneypenny says:

      I am half Bajan. My dad is there right now for the 50th! I’m kind of annoyed he didn’t tell me about Rihanna and Harry 🙂

    • ElleBee says:

      YES ME, I’M A BAJAN 🙂

  10. TyrantDestroyed says:

    That’s a hot potential couple!

  11. Cee says:

    I follow Kensington Palace on Instagram and although I am enjoying their Stories, I can’t believe how much hair Harry has lost. He is going bald!!

    • NeoCleo says:

      Yes, he is losing his hair but he’ll still be adorable as a balding man!!

    • chaine says:

      He need a hair makeover to deal with the balding so he doesn’t end up in his brother’s boat of looking like a fifty-year-old accountant with a tragic comb-over.

  12. joannie says:

    She’s gorgeous and he looks star struck. Cute!

  13. Yeahright says:

    He looks awestruck.
    Megan who?

    • Sarah says:

      Right? I’m betting Megan is studying the expression on his face, saying, “Harry never looked like that around me!!” Megan is very pretty but (and I’m not a Rihanna fan) but Rihanna is stunningly, breathtakingly beautiful. No wonder he’s star struck.

  14. Pandy says:

    God, she’s beautiful. Sigh. I’d love to see them in a hot little relationship. Megan is boring compared to this hook up lol. He does look star struck, so cute.

  15. wow says:

    Please, if Rhi was ever Harry’s choice there would still be those who would not like the pairing. and will drag her for no real reason, just like they do with his actual real girlfriend, Meghan.

  16. Sage says:

    Yeah, I need Meghan to take a hike so Rihanna and Harry can happen.lol Rihanna is gorgeous!

  17. ria says:

    Rihanna is gorgeous but her hand Tattoo still looks too much.
    A shame about that.

    There are a lot of people wondering how Harry felt meeting actual royalty (“the Queen of Barbados”)…………What??? actual royalty is royalty not a pop singer and his grandmother is the actual ‘Queen of Barbados’
