Prince Harry has started dating Jenson Button’s ex-girlfriend Florence Brudenell-Bruce, it has been claimed. The 26-year-old royal is said to have been enjoying ‘secret trysts’ with the lingerie and swimwear model over the past few months. The couple, who have been friends for years, apparently became an item after Harry confirmed that his relationship with Chelsy Davy was over for good. A royal source told The Sun: ‘It’s very early days but Harry and Florence are an item’. ‘She is a lot of fun, blonde and very good-looking. Harry really likes her.’ Stunning Florence, 25, nicknamed ‘Flee’ by her friends, is the daughter of old Etonian Andrew, now a successful wine merchant, and his wife Sophie. And the pretty blonde, who was with Button for two years before their split in 2008, was even credited – by Button’s Honda team – with being a ‘tactically astute’ influence on the young British driver. After coming in eighth place in the French Grand Prix in July 2007, Button said his success was down to a text he received from Florence. He said: ‘My missus sent me a text. It was very impressive. She said, “It is going to rain and the strategy is vital”, which was pretty hilarious but she was right.’ Florence later explained: ‘I think that was a bit of a joke, although I did send the text. He hadn’t had such a good year and it was raining, but the car was looking all right, and I remember sitting in his motorhome and texting him just before the race. Florence, who has a history of art degree from Bristol University, has modelled for huge names including John Lewis and adidas. In addition to her modelling career, she also appeared as the love interest in Bollywood movie Love Aaj Kal two years ago. However, despite her role in the movie, Florence said at the time a career in the Bollywood industry was unlikely due to her blonde hair and fair colouring.
