The following article mentions sexual abuse allegations and suicide.
Prince Harry appeared to have struggled with this in particular when dating his now-wife Meghan Markle.
Things got so bad that his teamissued a statementto address the press' treatment of the future duchess.
Yet not everyone who’s dated a monarch in the past feels the same way.
So let’s break down those former royal flames who probably regret their relationships.
Yet the royal did have other romances before them.
One of those was with Scottish socialite, Anna Wallace, who he dated in 1980.
She added, “No one treats me like that.
Not even you.”
AsVanity Fairdetailed, Wallace was known to be a “fiery” person and a “reckless horsewoman.”
When it came to her relationship with Charles, however, she clearly knew when to rein it in.
First off, she wasn’t even that into him.
I’m not in love with him."
Yes, King Charles dated Princess Diana’s older sister years before they got married.
According toThe Guardian, after they announced their engagement, Spencer even said, “I introduced them.
I’m Cupid.”
After the affair, he contemplated suicide before taking a trip to France.
“If she hadn’t, I would probably have shot myself.”
As for Hewitt, he once clarified on “Sunday News” (viaE!
News), “I don’t regret [meeting her].
I regret some of the things that have been due to that.”
Yet that wasn’t why Hoare felt contrite about the fling.
Rather, the princess supposedly became obsessed with him, particularly when he ended things.
“Diana would always say, ‘I know he will never leave his wife’…
So she would enjoy taunting him and reminding him she was there,” a friend toldThe Mirror.
In the flick, Stark’s character is topless and has sex with another woman.
It was a nightmare."
According toThe Guardian, Stark sued the outlet and won money as well as a published apology.
If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available.
Cross recalled their liaison somewhat fondly though, telling theDaily Mail, “It was very affectionate.
And with that, Cross was forced to leave his job protecting Princess Anne by his commander.
Even Cross’s next relationship was hurt because of his ties to the princess as well.
As his former partner, Gillian Nicholls, explained, “His affair with her always overshadowed our relationship.
It always felt like she was there in the background.”
A businessman she was linked to in 1992 named John Bryan got caught up in one of those scandals.
The pictures were splashed across newspapers, and understandably, Bryan and Ferguson were both mortified and upset.
However, Bryan maintains that the act wasn’t at all sexual in nature.
It was part of the game,” he said.
“I don’t want to be forever known as ‘Fergie’s Texan toe-sucking financial adviser.'”
Alas, it’s proven to be a hard reputation to shake.
That’s a very, very difficult thing to certainly run into the media buzz saw."
However, dating someone as high-profile as Princess Beatrice clearly wasn’t a good idea.
However, he ended up just getting his probation extended.
Yet it seems that their short-lived romance took a toll on her identity.
She added that they had based that offensive label off her once briefly working in a meat-packing factory.
On top of that, she wrote, “They made me out to be a sex-crazed monster.”
Unfortunately, Flack continued to be attacked in the press even after she parted ways with the royal.
Prince Harry later blamed the media for Flack’s death in his 2023 book, “Spare.”
Yet, her former agent/friend Alex Mullen blasted him for including Flack’s tragic story in his memoir.
What’s more, she’s found that their former relationship has overshadowed her acting career at times.
“It’s incredibly frustrating, especially in the industry that I’m in,” she added.
