Speaking to The Sun, Harry said: “I don’t know where anyone got the idea that she’s my girlfriend.

“We’ve only met a couple of times, we’re friends. I didn’t even kiss her.”

Harry – who only has to spend 5 minutes in the company of a pretty female before everyone thinks they're shagging – also seems confused that people think he has a thing for older women.

“I don’t know where the cougar thing came from to be honest,” he said. “I don’t know why people got that impression.”
