Is Prince Harry Dating A 'Doctor Who' Star?

by Jaclyn Anglis

It's a royal fling! Yes, it seems like Prince Harry is flirting with someone new after his breakup with Cressida Bonas. And it's another British actress! Prince Harry is dating with Jenna Coleman, who stars on Doctor Who, according to Us Weekly.

The star and the prince, who have apparently known each other for quite some time, were reportedly spotted flirting at the Audi Polo Challenge back in May before getting cozy at an English bar for a friend's birthday celebration this month. It's safe to say that the prince and Bonas are a thing of the past, at least for the meantime, following their breakup last year, but Prince Harry fans might be a little disappointed that their dream man seems to be off the market yet again.

Well, if you're among them, don't despair too much! According to an insider, neither Coleman nor her royal suitor are looking for anything serious or long-term. The source told Us Weekly, "He’s off to South Africa and she’s going to be filming Doctor Who in the States. But, for now, they’re just enjoying each other’s company." Well, OK then. Even though the pair likely won't be together long, it doesn't mean that they can't have some harmless fun, right? Here's a short list of some things they could potentially talk about on their dates. It'll be nice while it lasts!

Their Travels

Prince Harry has been all over the place lately. He is about to head to Africa for three months this summer to learn about conserving some of the continent's indigenous animals. This comes shortly after he got back from a trip to Australia to complete a military training stint with the Australian army. And seeing as Coleman travels across the pond to film the television series, it's pretty much a given that they both have a ton of travel stories to share.

These two obviously don't have typical 9-to-5 jobs, which always makes for interesting conversation and comparison. Who has to deal with more paparazzi following them as they go about their work? What time do they usually get up in the morning to begin their assigned duties? What do they want to do next? Would be interesting to be a fly on the wall for this one!

Unconventional Youth

It goes without saying that Prince Harry did not grow up like a typical Brit. But Coleman did not have an entirely typical youth either. She attended Arnold School, a boarding school where she served as "head girl" and was a role model for younger students. Plus, growing up with theater roots always makes for an interesting conversation starter.

Doing Good & Giving Back

Now this is really sweet. Both of Harry and Coleman are known do-gooders. The actress has been named an ambassador for One-to-One Children's Fund to help and support children living with HIV. And of course, Prince Harry has certainly done his fair share of giving back to those in need, most recently taking part in a polo charity event earlier this month. How adorable would it be if they connected on this level? Well, we can only hope they make it this far!
