Matthew Bell 02 December 2017 7:07pm GMT They are known as the ones who got away - the girls Prince Harry, 33, could have married. After the announcement of his engagement to 36-year-old

Meghan Markle last week, one of them, Cressida Bonas, posted a cryptic message on Instagram: “No matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you believe you are, how you treat people

ultimately tells it all.’  Was it a veiled reference to Harry? Or just one of many life messages the 28-year-old actress likes to share with her followers? Whatever the case, Harry’s exes

are not exactly wallflowers, many of them pursuing careers in TV or showbiz. And he seemingly remains on friendly terms with most, which is a good job, as they still orbit the same social

world as the Prince and share plenty of mutual friends.  The question is, will any of them be invited to the wedding? One thing’s for sure - expect to hear plenty more from these women over

the years. Sorry Meghan, but far from being the ones who got away, they’re the ones who won’t go away... CHELSY DAVY WHO: Lawyer turned designer, 32 WHEN SHE DATED HARRY: On and off for 7
