Since Prince William has been taken off the market by Kate Middleton, the other eligible royal bachelor has been under media scrutiny for his dating life. Many have speculated that he might propose to his girlfriend Cressida Bonas, but unfortunately that relationship ended in a break-up.

Now, new speculations are beginning to surface that the second son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana has found a new love, and it comes in the form of a singer! Is Prince Harry dating Joss stone? This is the question on everyone's mind, especially since the two have been long time friends.

But sorry to quash everyone's hopes, the blond singer herself has denied these Prince Harry dating Joss Stone rumors "I'm definitely not secretly dating Prince Harry," said Joss. When the singer was asked about the nature of their relationship, she says that they are more of casual acquaintances. "I'm not having a pint with him every Friday in the pub, if you know what I mean. But he's a lovely person, always very polite," the ___ year old singer shared.

The singer does have some admiration for the prince, but only on the level of his character, and not as a love interest. "He's full of life, he does wonderful things for charity. He's a really good spirit and I'm glad that he's Prince of England. Good old Harry! He's a darling," Joss said.

Rumors of the emerging romance really started earlier this year when the prince and the singer were spotted partying the night away at a charity event in London. This was days after Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas split after a two year relationship. According to The Sun, their source tells them that "[Prince Harry] and Joss looked like they were having a right old time." This of course further fueled the rumors that indeed Prince Harry was dating Joss Stone.

"They sat together for the dinner and speeches then Joss got up and performed a song," an insider detailed," the Sun's source adds. "After that, she went to Harry, took his hand and led him on to the dancefloor where he swung her around. It certainly looked like sparks were flying."

But as Joss has revealed, the two are not going out, and it certainly looks as if the singer has her hands full with her world tour to even have time for a love life. In any case, we'll be watching out for any developments on this news item. Stay tuned.
