Prince Harry and Meghan Markle served couple goals in their Netflix series Harry & Meghan. The Duke of Sussex is hailed as a perfect husband for being there with his wife through thick and thin. However, it is no secret that before meeting Markle, the royal prince was known for his wild and colorful dating life. Apart from flings, he also had a few serious relationships and one of them was with model Cressida Bonas.

The Burberry muse was all over the UK media for her relationship with Prince Harry, which lasted from 2012 to 2014. The Sussex royal’s cousin Princess Eugine introduced him to Bonas and there were strong rumors of them taking their relationship to the next stage. However, in 2014, the reports suggested that they had a mutual breakup, as the model got cold feet about being a royal wife. Years after the end of the relationship, royal author Tina Brown made a sensational claim.

Brown sheds light on the real reason behind Cressida Bonas’ breakup with Prince Harry 

In the book The Palace Papers, Tina Brown revealed that it was Prince Harry’s aggressive temperament that created a dent in his relationship with the English model. She recalled two major incidents that played a major role in Cressida Bonas calling it quits. As per the royal author, Prince Harry spoiled one of Valentine’s Day with his then-girlfriend due to his anger issues. The couple was heading to Kensington High Street when the royal prince got the news of a photographer keeping tabs on them. The information left the Duke frustrated, and he abruptly slammed the brakes and drove back to his home Nottingham Cottage. 

There was another incident that made Bonas scared of Prince Harry’s temperament. During one of the Christmas holidays they spent together, the Sussex royal misbehaved with an admirer. The couple was in a local pub to celebrate the festivities when a gentleman approached them for a picture. The model was ready to fulfill the request, but the prince stormed off while shouting, “Get out of my way!”

“Incidents such as this gave Cressida serious qualms about sharing her life with Harry. His outbursts were ever more frequent and childlike,” Tina Brown has claimed in her upcoming book as quoted by the Express.
