Harry had crush on Mary McCartney

Prince Harry had a crush on Mary McCartney when he was younger, according to her father Paul.

The former Beatle revealed that the two met when the Prince was just eight years old, although Mary was 24 at the time. Harry and brother William accompanied their late mother Princess Diana to McCartney's recording studio when the meeting occurred.

"Diana came in with her two lads," McCartney recalled. "We were rehearsing, we were asked to have lunch with her. Like a lot of people I think she was great, a real nice lady. What I do remember is I was sitting next to Harry, my daughter Mary came in and sat down and Harry said, 'Who's that?' I said, 'That's my daughter Mary,' and he said, 'She's awfully attractive, isn't she?'"
