  • Florence Brudenell-Bruce was at Nicky Hilton's pre-wedding party
  • Used to date Prince Harry and had a relationship with Jenson Button
  • 29-year-old now lives in the Bahamas with husband Harry St. George

She's rarely seen in the UK after relocating to the Bahamas to be with husband Harry St. George but Florence Brudenell-Bruce was among the guests to join Nicky Hilton for her pre-wedding party last night.

The mother-of-one arrived looking elegant in a floor-length black gown and wore her long blonde locks tousled and loose.

Ms Brudenell-Bruce, a former lingerie model, was once a regular sight on London's party circuit but since giving birth to her daughter last year, is now little seen.

The 29-year-old is the daughter of Ernest Brudenell-Bruce, 3rd Marquess of Ailesbury, and was romantically linked to Prince Harry before marrying Mr St. George in June 2013.

According to friends, Ms Brudenell-Bruce, who was Harry's first girlfriend following his split from Chelsy Davy in 2011, found the attention that came with dating a royal hard to deal with.

'Henry has been around a long time,' a source was quoted as saying at the time. 'Harry was more of an affair. Flee hated all the press attention she got when she was dating Harry. 

'She really liked him but she was embarrassed by being splashed all over the papers.' 

She also had a high profile romance with Formula 1 star Jenson Button, himself now married to Japanese model Jessica Michibata.

Now based in the Caribbean, where her husband is vice-president of the Grand Bahama Port Authority, she rarely models but did make a brief foray into film.

The couple are in London for the marriage of heiress Nicky Hilton, 31, and her husband-to-be James Rothschild, 31.

Last night, they joined guests that included Thomas van Straubenzee, Princess Charlotte's godfather, Ben Goldsmith and Petra Ecclestone at Spencer House for the pre-wedding party.
