PIPPA MIDDLETON is said to be “interested” in Prince Harry following the break-up of the royal bridemaid’s relationship with former cricketer Alex Loudon.

“Everyone’s noticed the chemistry between them,” a source told the Daily Star, adding that it was Harry who now “interests” Her Royal Hotness.

Harry and Pippa have already been on one date when they enjoyed drinks at the Troubadour pub in Chelsea last week and friends say the pair “really get on wonderfully together.”

The snag for Harry is that Pippa apparently wants to “play the field”, according to the Daily Star’s source.

That might explain the relatively long odds offered by bookmakers on Harry and Pippa stepping out as a couple. William Hill have them at 25/1 to become “an item”, though what constitutes “an item” is another question.

But at least, from the Harry’s point of view, one obstacle to grabbing a piece of Pippa-heaven has been removed. There has been no official confirmation yet, but it “is common knowledge in their close circle of friends that Pippa and Alex have recently split up,” a source told the Sunday Times.

Pippa’s dramatic rise to fame in the wake of her eye-catching appearance as bridesmaid to sister Kate at April’s royal wedding is thought to have been one cause of the split.
