Before she was a Real Housewife and long before he left the royal family for his wife,
a reality TV star claims she had a fling with Prince Harry. According to her,
it's a tale of silly hats, wrestling, and a big ol' kiss.
Bravo's "Real Housewives" franchise features some of the most popular reality TV shows on
the airwaves. One of the most successful of the series is "The Real Housewives of
Atlanta," which created stars out of women including Marlo Hampton, Kenya Moore,
NeNe Leakes, and even Grammy-award-winning R&B singer and songwriter Kandi Burruss.
There are also shows set in Salt Lake City, New York, Beverly Hills, Dallas, Miami, and Dubai,
to name a few, which have had their own successes from season to season. Out of all the series,
"The Real Housewives of New Jersey," which has had 12 seasons so far,
still reigns as queen of the ratings due in part to, as Screen Rant describes it,
"Teresa Giudice's incredible quotes and the drama she brings to the table."
But not all of them have been as successful. "The Real Housewives of D.C." was canceled after only
one season, and has a rating of one star on IMDb. A star from the show suggests she has
at least one other claim to fame, though: she once dated Prince Harry. Catherine Ommanney claims to
have found herself involved with an extremely prominent member of England's royal family.
Ommanney had previously spoken about the fling on "Watch What Happens Live," but only a little.
"We had one little kiss at the end of the night, or maybe two, and that was about it, really."
She recently revealed much more to The Sun about her brief fling
with the then-21-year-old Prince Harry. She was 34 at the time. Ommanney said,
She added that at one point she and Harry began "play fighting" off and
on for about 15 minutes, which led to a big smooch. She said,
She wrapped up the story by stating,
Of course, all that happened more than 15 years ago. Even if her claims are completely true,
Ommanney probably doesn't have much of a chance with the Duke of Sussex nowadays,
given how devoted he is to his wife,
Meghan Markle. After all, he infamously left the royal family to protect her.
As Marie Claire reported at the time, during Harry and Meghan's groundbreaking interview with Oprah
Winfrey, Harry admitted that he left the UK and gave up his status as a working royal because
the prince feared his wife would fall victim to the same fate as the late Princess Diana.
"My biggest concern was history repeating itself."
Harry certainly doesn't regret the decision either,
gushing during his July 2022 speech at the United Nations that Africa remains
a special place for him because it's "where I knew I had found a soulmate in my wife."
Meghan returned the favor at the One Young World opening ceremony just a
few months later. The former "Suits" star shared:
"I'm thrilled that my husband is able to join me this time..."
Clearly, these two only have eyes for each other.
Although Harry's alleged tryst with a Real Housewife happened long before he met Meghan,
his older brother wasn't so lucky. Rumors continue to swirl alleging that Prince William
had an affair with Rose Hanbury, his own wife's one-time best friend, while they were married.
