The 31-year-old royal is reportedly getting close to Athina Onassis as she deals with a tough split from Alvaro de Miranda Neto.

Royal confidante Jessica Hay told Australia's New Idea magazine: "Harry has known Athina 
for years. She's a regular in the international equestrian set and they have lots of mutual friends."

Meanwhile, the flame-haired royal previously revealed he would love to have kids one day but insists there is "no rush" to settle down.

He said: "There have been moments through life, especially when we do a tour abroad, when I think, 'I'd love to have kids now.' ... And then there are other times when I bury my head in the sand going, 'All right, don't need kids!' There's no rush. I think ... I tell you what: There's been times I've been put off having children. I've got a couple of mates and being around their children just brings me back down."

However, he does enjoy being a "fun uncle" to Prince William and Duchess Catherine's two children, Prince George, three, and Princess Charlotte, 15 months.

He added: "George and Charlotte will grow up and hopefully find me to be the fun uncle. I always want to be the fun uncle."
