Being the gentleman he is, Harry consented to meet Cressida for a date. They went on a second date after their first one, which ended in what Harry later referred to as "painfully awkward moments." He made an effort to kiss her goodnight, but his aim was a little off, making for a less-than-smooth exchange. As you might imagine, even royalty experiences these things occasionally.
The following day, feeling somewhat discouraged, Harry decided to confide in his cousin, Eugenie, about the awkward encounter. To his surprise, Cressida had already reached out to Eugenie to discuss the situation. Talk about an uncomfortable situation! Eugenie, being the understanding friend she is, acknowledged the awkwardness of the entire situation.
However, this wasn't the end of the story. Despite the hiccup, Harry and Cressida decided to give their budding relationship another chance. They dated between 2012 and 2014, experiencing the highs and lows that come with royal romance. Ultimately, they went their separate ways, with reports suggesting that Cressida found the spotlight that came with dating a royal overwhelming.
In hindsight, this incident becomes intriguing, showcasing the challenges of dating within the royal family. It's a reminder that even royals have their fair share of awkward moments in matters of the heart.
Fast forward a few years, and Harry and Meghan found the loves of their lives. Their relationship, like any other, has been subject to public scrutiny.
