Caroline Flack and Prince Harry: What really happened?
Caroline Flack and Prince Harry were romantically linked in 2009, more than a decade before her untimely death.

Caroline was making a name for herself as the co-host of Gladiators.

Prince Harry has never spoken publicly about Caroline – before or after her death.
Caroline Flack and Prince Harry: What did she say about relationship?
Caroline mentions her connection to Prince Harry in her 2014 autobiography Storm in a C Cup.
Appearing on This Morning to discuss the book, a clearly awkward Caroline said: “I make a point of not discussing Prince Harry in the book, because it’s just not my place to talk about someone else.”
She added: “It wasn’t really a relationship. But I had to talk about the affect it caused, because it was so intrusive. I’ve never said I had a relationship with him.”
She goes on to describe how reporters began to stand outside the houses of her mum, her dad, her sister, her brother, her nan…
In the book, however, she does touch on their relationship.
It reads: “To meet a Prince is so unlikely, it would be weird not to acknowledge it.
“However, once the story was out, that was it. We had to stop seeing each other.
“I was no longer Caroline Flack the TV presenter, I was Prince Harry’s ‘bit of rough’.”
Caroline revealed she contacted Prince Harry before writing about him in the book, but refused to divulge what was said between them.
