Prince Harry dating lingerie model cousin
After generations of inbreeding, Britain’s Royal Family appears to finally be getting serious about adding photogenic depth to the family gene pool.
Prince Harry's new GF looks familiar to those who pay attention to ads.
Curiously, Prince Harry is taking a stab at it by dating his lingerie modelling cousin.
Fortunately for any pending mingling of chromosomes, she’s a distant cousin — eight times removed, according to The Telegraph.
Florence Brudenell-Bruce, a blonde like the prince’s mother, will give future queen Kate Middleton a run for her money in the looks department. The British media is already following her every move — one headline alerted the world the young lady wore THREE outfits in one day. And her face appears on a curling iron box.
According to people who keep up with such things, Brudenell-Bruce is a descendant of the seventh Earl of Cardigan, Lieutenant General James Thomas Brudenell, who famously led the Charge of the Light Brigade against the Russians during the Crimean War.
Harry, 26, began dating Brudenell-Bruce, 25, after ending his relationship with Zimbabwean-born Chelsy Davy, according to The Telegraph.
Being a prince has its advantages, it seems.

This is the only area on Earth where the European royals and Appalachia draw a distinct parallel. Okay, well maybe somewhere deep in the Amazon rainforest, but they at least tap different tribes for mates.

The only drawback from dating Prince Harry is having to take Dramamine during intimacy.
Whatever did you mean?

If he wasn’t a Prince, she would not even give him the time of day.
As far as she being as beautiful as Kate: Take the makeup off of both of them and Kate would win, easily. Florence, without makeup has only average looks.– A 6 or 7 on a scale of 10.
