Caroline Flack reveals Prince Harry romance
And Olly Murs’ pal revealed she was branded a “paedophile” throughout the relationship, and was constantly forced to defend the 14-year age gap after receiving a backlash from One Direction fans. It included pins pointing to certain body parts. According to Caroline, it all started with an “amusing” little crush.
‘He’d said it in magazines and he’d said it to friends.
Oh Caroline, to be gorgeous, famous and knocking about with the royals and One Direction.
Such was the effect on Caroline of the horrendous abuse she suffered, it was alleged previous year that she’d sought therapy to help her cope, and of course, her relationship with Harry ended as a result of the drama.
“He was a kind of cheeky man/boy with a captivating smile who got what he wanted”.
The nastiness took her by surprise, and Caroline found herself becoming more insecure because of the reaction.
But things turned sour when Styles was spotted leaving her house one morning, and people began calling her a “pervert” and “paedophile” in the street.
Announcing her memoirs earlier this year, Caroline said: “HELLO LIFE!”
It was during this time she snubbed the chance to become the face of Cougarlife.com, joking she wasn’t actually old enough at 32 instead of 36. Am I fat? Am I old?
‘I had never really had any doubts or insecurities about myself.
Caroline was also bombarded with death threats on social media sites such as Twitter, and she says it’s at that point that she and Harry realised that what had been for them a “playful” fling had become something “dark” and they made a decision to end things.
She reveals in her autobiography how she met the prince on a night out in 2009 through mutual friend Natalie Pinkham after she had split with her boyfriend.
Prince Harry’s not a few egotistical rock star who wants loads of attention. “He didn’t ask for it, he just has to deal with it. I think he deals with it very well and he and his brother do great stuff for our country”.
She continued: “I was no longer Caroline Flack, TV presenter, I was Caroline Flack, Prince Harry’s bit of rough”.
