Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Since her breakup with Harry, Bonas has been putting together a pretty solid string of gigs, appearing in a Burberry campaign, booking a role in a Weinstein Company film, and generally attending enough society events to keep up a reasonably high profile. Meanwhile, Chelsy Davy, Harry’s other prominent ex-girlfriend, whom he dated for seven years, before Bonas, has recently returned to the public sphere, launching a jewelry line after leaving her law job, and she spoke recently about her relationship with the prince, sharing that they will “always be good friends.”



And now both women are making headlines for . . . hanging out with each other! Appropriately, the two connected at the extremely upper-crust-sounding Serpentine Summer party, in Kensington Gardens, where they were photographed looking quite chummy, giggling, and even “clasping hands” at one point, both wearing “slinky maxi dresses” (a classic Daily Mail description), blonde hair in waves. (Of course, the Daily Mail has already spun two stories out of their photo op—with no doubt a dozen more to come.)



The most recent story of theirs suggests that Davy and Bonas’s friendship is “Harry’s worst nightmare,” implying his two exes—who have similar backgrounds, both having attended the same school—are bonding over their shared amorous past with the Cinnamon Prince. “They have become increasingly good friends because they have so much in common,” a mutual friend told the Daily Mail. “They love a party, the dance floor, and a giggle.” Meanwhile, a different friend told the outlet, “'I think their friendship will be a warm one. Because in the end there are very few people with whom one can discuss the unique experience of having been a royal girlfriend.”
