A royal biographer has claimed that Prince Harry "stormed off in a huff" after a super-fan's festive request.
For two years, Harry dated Burberry muse and model Cressida Bonas on-and-off, reports the Express. Introduced to each other by Harry's cousin Princess Eugenie, they called it quits after Cressida reportedly struggled with the idea of becoming royalty.
According to a recent biography, the model also struggled with the royal's temperament, with a couple of blow-outs leading to the romance’s eventual demise.

Tina Brown, author of The Palace Papers, recounted the two incidents — one on Valentine’s Day and the other around the festive season.
In her book, she wrote: “A family friend told me she knew the relationship wouldn’t last when there was a blow-up on Valentine’s Day. En route to the restaurant, they were driving down Kensington High Street when Harry got word that there was a photographer lying in wait.
"He slammed on the brakes, did a spin turn in the middle of the street and gunned it back to Nott Cott for a Valentine’s night of pizza.”
The author added: “At Christmas, more unnecessary drama."
The couple were staying in the UK with Cressida's half-sister when they decided to visit a local pub in Kidlington. A person who saw the couple told Ms Brown: “Suddenly as they were leaving, this quite elderly, sweet-looking gentleman came out and said: ‘Oh, sir, so sorry, I know it’s Christmastime, but could I just take a photograph to give to my wife who isn’t well?’
“And so Cressida opened her mouth and said: ‘Oh, of course.’ And Harry said: ‘Get out of my way’ and went bright red in the face and stormed off in a huff.”
Ms Brown said: “Incidents such as this gave Cressida serious qualms about sharing her life with Harry.”
She soon called time on her and Harry's relationship. At the time of their split, a friend said: “It’s very sad that they have decided to split but this is a completely amicable separation and they are remaining the very best of friends.”
Harry is now happily married to Meghan Markle, and has two children - Archie and Lilibet.
