If Disney movies have taught us anything, it's that a relationship with a handsome prince is something every girl should aspire towards, but it seems reality is very, very different.

Opening up about the seven-year relationship she shared with Prince Harry, Chelsy Davy admits that she found it incredibly difficult to deal with the media intrusion and paparazzi attention that went hand-in-hand with a royal romance.

"I was trying to be a normal kid and it was horrible," she told The Times during an interview which dealt with her time in the spotlight and the effect her 'party girl' rep had on her.

30-year-old Chelsy, who qualified as a solicitor and currently promotes an ethical jewellery brand, admitted that the romance was far from the fairytale many of us would imagine.

Reflecting on the times she was chased by photographers desperate for a snap of the young couple, Chelsy said: "It was so full-on: crazy and scary and uncomfortable. I found it very difficult when it was bad. I couldn't cope."

Chelsy, who met Prince Harry in 2004, eventually called time on the relationship in 2011 before returning to her native Zimbabwe, saying: "It was nuts. That's also why I wanted to go back to Africa. Now it's calm, it's fine."

Despite rumours that the pair may be reconciling, Chelsy insists she and Harry are simply on good terms and says she'll always 'be good friends' with the royal.

Look, much and all as we're into our other halves, if Prince Harry popped the question we'd definitely find ourselves weighing up the pros and cons of taking the plunge.

And we'd be lying if we haven't at least once imagined what it might be like to slip seamlessly into the royal family, so props to one little girl who decided it was go-time after recently meeting the young royal.

Attending an event in Stockport this week, Prince Harry was on the receiving end of one very important question, and, ladies, he…well…he basically pie'd her.

Approaching the 31-year-old prince, six-year-old Lottie said: "I want to marry you. I want to be a princess."

And unlike our boyfriends when we say anything of that nature, Harry did NOT run a mile, but he did quickly draw a line under the issue.

According to Us Weekly, Harry swiftly explaining the cons associated with such a request, telling Lottie: "You don’t want that – there’s too big an age gap. You’ve been reading a lot of books."

No 'Maybe when you're older' or 'Wouldn't I be the luckiest guy in the world?' for Lottie, oh no.

Jeez Harry….burn or what?!

Prince Harry is probably the world’s most eligible bachelor, so it’s no surprise that a rumoured romance between him and pop star Ellie Goulding is causing a serious stir online.

The pair – who have been friends for a number of years – were spotted together at the Audi Polo Challenge in Berkshire and, according to a Sun source, were “all over each other” at the event.

Later, at an exclusive post-polo after party – where no cameras were allowed in order to ensure the comfort of celebrity attendees – the Prince and Ellie were said to have “only had eyes for each other”.

A source told The Sun: “They were part of a wider group including Tom Hardy but Harry and Ellie only had eyes for each other all night – they spent a lot of time sitting together under blankets.”

“They were seen having a kiss before Harry had to go because he was playing polo the next day.  Ellie left about five minutes later.”

The source also revealed that the Anything Could Happen singer – who parted ways with on-off boyfriend Dougie Poynter earlier this year – has recently been exchanging flirtatious texts with the Royal.

They said: “[Harry] has told friends how much he likes Ellie and she is clearly taken with him.”

But the source also admitted that if the Prince was to get into a serious relationship with the songstress, the Royal family may not approve because of Ellie’s celebrity status.

The 29-year-old singer performed at the Royal wedding back in 2011 and attended the Invictus Games two years ago – an event which was organised by Harry.

Everyone is going MENTAL because Prince Harry said the word 'ar*e' while being interviewed live on the radio.

To be honest, it isn't the worst swear word in the world, yet his fans on Twitter are loving him even more for it.

The 31-year-old was talking to Chris Evans on BBC Radio 2's breakfast show and while chatting about the upcoming Invictus Games, the prince said: "It is epic amounts of fun, and it's for everyone. And these guys are fantastic ambassadors for going out there and putting on a show.

"They want to be able to serve their country again, put the Union Jack on their left breast and kick the ar*e out of life."

After his interview, many of his fans took to Twitter:

We have to admit, he is our favourite royal!

There are plenty of red-haired folk in this part of the world.

And while the old cliché claims sporting a mop of ginger tresses results in playground taunts, in our experience those red-headed lads and lassies among us are rarely anything but massive rides.

Emma Stone, Lily Cole, Prince Harry, Ed Sheeran, Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Kidman and Damian Lewis are all au naturale but just about everyone from Cheryl Fernandez Versini to Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande have dyed their hair red at some stage.

Who can blame them? Here, SHEmazing rounds up the nine reasons why having red hair is pretty incredible:

 

1) You stand out from the crowd: Even in Ireland, your chances of being ginger are fairly slim. In fact, just 10 percent of us have ruby-hued hair. And globally that figure stands at 2 percent. #exclusive

2) It’s difficult to fake it: Red hair dye is notoriously difficult to get right for blondes and brunettes – and a fresh application fades rapidly. Meaning there’s nothing like the real thing.

3) Keep the compliments coming: Everyone wants red hair at some stage – cue a steady stream of “I’d LOVE to have your hair colour.”

4) What greys? While some other folk are already going grey in their 20s, red hair has a reputation for holding its own, gently lightening as you age, rather than turning grey.

5) You’re practically famous: There was a Ginger Spice – but no Blonde or Brunette Spice. Nuff said.

6) You’re quite possibly healthier: University Of Edinburgh researchers found that red heads boast a secret genetic weapon allowing them to to fight off certain illnesses more efficiently than blondes or brunettes.

7) Fight or flight: Red-heads make adrenalin faster than those with other hair colours.

8) You're a work of art: Botticelli's the Birth Of Venus depicts a gorgeous flame-haired lady upon a clam. And she's just one of a disproportionate number of red-headed lasses used by history's most famous artists. 

9) Overall, it’s just a really great colour: Blood, fire, passion, power – all red. In contrast, what’s brown associated with? Exactly.

We all know him as the party prince, who was never shy of having a good time or going crazy on a night out.

What photographers, right Harry?

But it seems he's still up to his wildchild ways as photos have surfaced of him at a vodka launch with Cara Delevingne. Sienna Miller, Margot Robbie and a whole bunch of other blonde beauties. 

Taken in a photobooth at the launch of Ciroc vodka, Harry is seen messing about with the girls, wearing bright green glasses and a cap.

The launch, hosted by model Suki Waterhouse, was before Christmas, so they were all clearly in the party mood. 

By the looks of things, Harry certainly had a good time, we're just hoping there's more pictures to come!

It's January 12 and you know what that means! Don't you? Oh you don't? Well you should. 

It's the sixth annual Kiss a Ginger Day!

So it's about time you grabbed your nearest and dearest flame-haired friend and planted a big smacker on them. 

The day was launched on Facebook in 2009 as a response to 2008's Kick a Ginger day which sparked international outrage. Now in its sixth year, we reckon it's only a matter of time before this day becomes an internationally recognised holiday. 

To celebrate, we have lined up some redheaded celebrities that we would love to bump into today….

1) Eddie Redmayne

Toeing the line flawlessly between ginger and blonde, it's only fitting that Eddie's surname is Redmayne – considering that he literally has a red… mane…. 

2) Ed Sheeran

This one will be controversial as when it comes to Ed Sheeran, you either love him or hate him. 

From his talent to his tattoos, who are we kidding? We would definitely not miss an opportunity to plant a big one on him. 

3) Damien Lewis 

Rough around the edges, mysterious and a total dreamboat. 

We are still recovering from his topless scenes in Homeland. 

4) Rupert Grint 

Who would have thought that Ron Weasley would grow into the tall, hunky looker that he did….

He could singlehandedly make all our childhood dreams come true. 

5) Prince Harry 

Perhaps the most eligible bachelor on our list, we would take a royal romp with this prince any day. 

6) Domhnall Gleeson 

How could we do a post on redheads and not include an Irish face. 

Domhnall has been on our crush list for years but he really got our attention after holding his own on this smouldering Vogue shoot. 

Phwoar.

Prince Harry was NOT happy when comedian Jack Whitehall decided to slag him at the Royal Variety Performance. 

The show which was filmed in November but aired last night saw Jack on stage, teasing the prince about his ginger hair and the fact that he is still single. 

But during the traditional royal meet and greet, Harry got his own back.

When it came to Harry's turn to shake Jack's hand, the prince just walked on by and turned his nose up in the air. Ooh, a sore loser Harry? 

Of course not, the prince's icy approach didn't last long and he went back to shake Mr Whitehall's hand and they both shared a good old laugh together. 

Among the tirade of jokes unleashed at Harry, was: "I think you're the first person to get a Victoria Cross for bravery just for stepping out of the shade in Afghanistan… I mean a ginger in that heat!"

It was the casting decision that caused an international storm: in the role of Christian Grey, Jamie Dornan – known for his trademark facial hair – would appear clean-shaved. 

"Jamie Dornan without a beard is like a cupcake without frosting," one berate individual wrote on Twitter a year ago when the controversial announcement was first made.

Another chipped in with: "If I was Anastasia Steele and Jamie Dornan kept his beard and Irish accent, Fifty Shades would probably be a lot better."

Rather predictably, here at SHEmazing! Towers we definitely covet the 33-year-old Co Down man's sexy stubble.

But it has come to our attention that the wider public isn't entirely in agreement.

Yes, a brand new survey has now revealed that the likes of Prince Harry, David Beckham, Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt have ALL been deemed to have better beards than Jamie. 

In a survey of 1,000 people carried out by the popular Crown Clinic in Manchester (the same clinic favoured by the likes of Calum Best and Dr Christian from Embarrassing Bodies) the ginger whiskers of royal hottie Prince Harry were deemed the world's most lovely. 

David Beckham and George Clooney slot in at numbers two and three respectively, while Ben Affleck makes number four.

At the other end of the scale, Jake Gyllenhaal is ranked ninth, while our Jamie rounds up the Top 10. 

Interestingly however, women aren't always big fans of facial fuzz: 62 percent say they prefer their lads to be clean-shaven.

Still, growing numbers of men are enhancing their look with either beard or sideburn transplants. Indeed, Crown Clinic says its bookings have jumped by a quarter in the last three years alone.

And surgeon Asim Shahmalak reckons that Prince Harry (who thankfully says he'll be on the market for a while yet) is the facial hair trend-setter of the moment. 

The medic revealed: "The reaction to Prince Harry's beard has been universally positive. While he looks great with his ginger fuzz, the sad fact is almost half of men cannot grow a full beard.

"There are gaps in their beard or sideburns and the end result is patchy and unattractive.

"We can fill in those gaps to make sure any man can get a full beard like Harry."

And frankly, we have no problem with more men being rather more princely… or better still, more like Jamie himself. In the meantime, roll on Movember!

Top 10 celebrity beards, as revealed by Crown Clinic:

  1. Prince Harry
  2. David Beckham
  3. George Clooney
  4. Ben Affleck
  5. Ryan Gosling
  6. Hugh Jackman
  7. Alasdhair Willis
  8. Brad Pitt
  9. Jake Gyllenhaal
  10. Jamie Dornan

We have no doubt that this is not the first time Prince Harry has been asked this particular question. In fact this is probably the one thing Harry has in common with most non-royal individuals his age.

The 31-year old has recently finished a 17-mile trek for Walking With The Wounded. When ITV Britain had a chance to catch up with the royal, they were curious to know if he was “anywhere near” settling down.

His response: "No. There are a lot of things to get done before settling down.”

He added, “everyone looks forward to settling down, but in the meantime its work as usual so let's crack on." 

Is this his way of shrugging off any rumours about his former flame Cressida?

There was speculation he had reunited with the blonde beauty when they were spotted celebrating his birthday together. Her recent breakup from actor Edward Holroft appeared to have further fuelled rumours she and the royal were an item once more.

At the time of his interview, Harry was just over half way through his trek, and seemed eager to get that out of the way before divulging any information about his personal life.

"The support has been amazing," he told People. "People come out to give money, and then when they hear what it's for they put another £20 in." 

The former Army captain added that he intends on continuing his work with veterans for as long as possible:

“The main focus, from my point of view, for the rest of my life anyway is to make sure they get the best support possible.”

She's just about the most fashionable person on the planet, rarely looking anything but entirely picture-perfect. 

In fact, since officially becoming a member of Britain's most famous family in April 2011, Kate Middleton's look has evolved from rather safe and nondescript to full-on chic.

Yes, there's no denying that Mrs William Wales now boasts an elegance entirely worthy of her royal style icon status. 

Not that it was always so: in fact, before Wills put a ring on it, the Duchess Kate had plenty of items in her wardrobe that she would now turn her perfect princess nose up at.

However, on reflection, we reckon throwback Kate Middleton is very much for the win.

From trips to Dublin in old jeans to donning yellow hot-pants and roller-skates, the 33-year-old certainly had a sense of carefree fun back then.

Here, SHEmazing! takes a stroll down memory lane with the Duchess Of Cambridge's top 12 pre Royal Wedding looks.

 

1) The dress that changed history: She was modelling in a charity fashion show during their University Of St Andrews days when Prince William reportedly decided that Kate was the only woman for him. 

 

2) Feeling tweedy: It was spring 2004 when Kate rocked this oh-so rural-look during an outing with Wills. The skirt; the socks; the boots… It's all VERY horsey set.

 

3) Polka-dotty: Catherine sported this cotton pink halter-neck number – which she teamed with strappy floral red sandals – in July 2006. Suffice to say both are probably absent from her royal wardrobe now.

 

4) Casual in denim: During a short-lived split from her prince in the spring of '07, Ms Middleton popped over to Dublin with Mammy Middleton for a bit of shopping and to attend a gallery opening held by one of their friends. 

 

5) More dots: Also in Dublin, the princess-in-waiting rocked this conservative black two-piece suit and open-toed, kitten-heel shoes.

 

6) And they're back on! Wills and Kate were back in each other's arms before long – after lying low for a while, in February 2008 she made a dazzling return to public life in this pink Issa gown.

 

7) The look we love: K.Middy was having the serious craic while wearing yellow hot-pants at a charity event in September 2008. We hope she kept that green sequin top too.

 

8) Hippy hippy shake: In the summer of '09, Catherine cooled down in stuffy London by wearing this long, flowing floral maxi skirt and flip-flops. Why she was carrying quite so many bags (we count four), we're still not sure. 

 

9) Done deal: She got the ring – AND she looked amazing in this Issa number (the same one that sparked an entire trend) at the ridiculously high-profile press conference to announcement their engagement in November '10.

 

10) Lady in red: Those suede boots (the outfit would now be paired with LK Bennett pumps) are decidedly pre-wedding Kate, but just two months before their Big Day, William's girl was still looking really regal on an official outing with her prince.

 

11) Can't rain on my parade: Her weight-loss was noticeable (as were the creases), but two weeks before saying 'I do,' Ms Middleton still shined in Amanda Wakeley.

 

12) The day she wowed the world: THAT Alexander McQueen wedding dress. Afterwards, Kate left Westminster Abbey a fully-fledged princess. She hasn't looked back since.

She's the gorgeous 29-year-old actress who earlier this year caught the eye of none-other than Prince Harry.

And while fans had hoped that Jenna Coleman would be playing Doctor Who's Clara Oswald for some time to come, she sensationally announced this morning that she's quit the gig.

Up next? The role of none-other than… Queen Victoria, a formidable historical character better known for her aloof nature, permanent state of mourning, and – it has to be said – her rather large waistline. 

But petite Ms Coleman evidently couldn't be happier. 

She told BBC One's breakfast show that she now has "four weeks to become the Queen".

She added: "I need to learn to ride a horse, to waltz, play Beethoven."

The forthcoming eight-part period drama follows the early life of Victoria, from her ascension to the throne at the age of 18, through to her courtship and marriage to Price Albert. It is costing ITV some €13.5m to put together. 

Jenna has been an on-screen companion to both Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi in her three years with the Doctor – the longest-serving assistant since the series was rebooted in 2005.

A source told The Mirror today: "Jenna clinched the role of Victoria a while ago but it’s been a very closely guarded secret.

"There is a lot of excitement about this series, which has Sunday night written all over it.

"ITV hope the eight-part epic will give them a ratings hit like Downton Abbey."
