Prince Harry meets girlfriend's ex

London - Prince Harry met his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend, Jenson Button, at the British Grand Prix on July 10.

At the Silverstone track the prince came face to face with F1 driver Button, but he revealed he would be cheering him on to win alongside his McLaren teammate Lewis Hamilton.

The 26-year-old royal is thought to be dating model Florence Brudenell-Bruce - known as Flee - who used to date Button. Florence is also distantly related to Harry.

Speaking before the race - which was eventually won by Spanish driver Fernando Alonso - he said: "I'll be cheering on Jenson and Lewis big time. Obviously weather is playing a big part, as it always does at Silverstone.

"I'm hoping for rain, just because I think it will be better for McLaren, but we will have to wait and see."

Neither Jenson nor Lewis managed to make it to the podium, with Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber taking second and third places respectively.

Harry toured the paddock, garages and grid of the circuit in Northampton before the race, where he also met with Formula 1 legend Damon Hill and DJ Goldie.
