More than three months have passed since fans saw a glimpse of their real-life Barbie in the first teaser of the movie created by Greta Gerwig. The fantasy director decided to bring this famous fashion idol to the silver screen, which has merely been a plaything for children. While casting some iconic actors like Margot Robbie (Barbie) and Ryan Reynolds (Ken) this project instantly captured the attention of people. Fans went crazy on the internet after seeing this duo donning bright-colored clothes and blonde hair as no one has seen these characters in a human version before filled with emotions instead of a plastic heart. Well, most of the fans believe that this is the first time in history that they are watching the actual incarnation of these dolls. But that’s certainly not true because Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas already showed their version of Barbie and Ken once.

Before marrying the true love of his life, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, had his share of relationships with other women. This included the heir to the Curzon banking business, Cressida Bonas. The English actress and model crossed paths with the Duke of Sussex at Leeds University, in May 2012. The former couple instantly clicked and started dating secretly after allegedly being introduced by Princess Eugenie. Moreover, as per The Cut, they used to refer to each other by the nicknames Barbie and Ken.

Well, one cannot disagree that Bonas did look like a barbie doll with her natural blonde hair and ocean-blue eyes. On the other hand, the royal can also be associated with Ken as just like him, he dated the iconic doll.

Things sparked between Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas when they attended the afterparty of the Dark Knight Rises premiere in London.

However, soon after that, the couple called it quits because the actress was overwhelmed by all the public scrutiny. Even she opened up about her royal experience in an interview with BBC Radio in 2017. Bonas revealed that dating a royal is never easy because it can be demanding and full of expectations. She did not wish to remain confined to the decorum and thus stepped away from the Prince.
