Britain’s most eligible bachelor is back on the market!

E News reports that Prince Harry has broken up with girlfriend Florence Brudenell-Bruce, a British lingerie model. Harry, 26, began dating Florence, 25, in late June, but the summer romance came to an end this week because the prince does not want to be “tied down” to a serious relationship, according to the UK’s Daily Mirror. Harry is focusing instead on his helicopter training for the Royal Air Force, with plans for redeployment to Afghanistan.

Friends since 2005, the notoriously flirty Harry and gorgeous Florence made waves this summer with their blossoming relationship. The Huffington Post reports that Harry even invited “Flee” to officially meet the royal family last month. A Clarence House spokesman would not confirm the split.

Could the breakup make way for a hookup between William and Kate’s younger siblings? Not likely. Pippa Middleton, 27 was spotted yesterday rooting for long-time boyfriend Alex Loudon, 30, at a cricket match.

Tell us what you think! Is Harry’s dedication to his work admirable? Or is he avoiding a serious relationship? Would you date a prince, if only for the summer?
