Hide AdNatalie and the Duke of Sussex, 38, were linked in 2003 when the Prince was just 19. The pair were said to have been close but their relationship was purely platonic. Natalie wasn’t invited to the royal wedding and was said to be ‘miffed’ that the pair had grown apart.
The TV presenter knew Harry for many years and as well as being a close pal was his drinking buddy and confidante. The pair never publicly commented on their relationship and it eventually cooled off after Harry met Meghan. Natalie wasn’t invited to the royal wedding and she wasn’t mentioned in his memoir ‘Spare’.
Natalie went on to marry television executive Owian Walbyoff and the couple have two children Wilfred and Willow together. But it seems she has maintained a close relationship with his cousin Zara and the pair have become close friends over the years.
The two women are similar in age, both have have young children and socialise in the same circles so it makes sense that they would become close pals.
