In his explosive memoir Spare, Prince Harry revealed the one breakup that affected him the most and left him unable to sleep years before he met his now-wife Meghan Markle.
In his explosive memoir, the Duke of Sussex revealed details about his previous relationships, including Cressida Bonas, Chelsy Davy, and the late Caroline Flack.
He did, however, reveal that another girl left him heartbroken and unable to sleep: Florence St George, a former Tatler cover girl whom he dated after the end of his rocky romance with Davy in 2011.
Talking of his first meeting with Florence, Prince Harry shared: “We sat at the bar, chatted and laughed, while the friends with us melted away, along with the walls and the drinks and the barman.”
“I suggested the whole group go back to Clarence House for a nightcap,” the Duke of Sussex further shared, adding that he ended up giving Florence a lift back to her flat.
Prince Harry then described how he felt that Florence could be ‘his person’, and that they spent a few ‘idyllic’ weeks together before she wanted out over intense media scrutiny.
“She (Florence) said she was under twenty-four-hour surveillance. Like some kind of criminal. I could hear sirens in the background… She was upset, crying… She said one last time: ‘I can’t do this anymore, Harry’.”
Prince Harry then shared that the breakup ‘hit him hard’ and that he ‘stopped sleeping because he felt so disappointed’ and ‘so profoundly dejected’.
While Prince Harry went on to eventually marry Meghan Markle in 2018, Florence married Henry Edward Hugh St George, the grandson of the Marchese di San Giorgio and maternal grandson of the 11th Duke of Grafton, in 2013.
