SHE is looked up to by many fans across the country and is considered one of Herefordshire’s most successful musicians but it seems Ellie Goulding has now found herself receiving attention from a royal admirer.

According to reports in the Sun and the Daily Mail yesterday (Wednesday), the Lyonshall singer-songwriter is secretly courting Prince Harry.

The national newspapers claim the pair spent the night ‘canoodling’ at the recent Audi Polo Challenge, with one onlooker saying it looked like they shared a kiss while under a blanket.

They have also, according to the reports, been swapping regular text messages over recent weeks.

Ellie, however, remained tight-lipped yesterday over the stories with her Twitter account only focusing on Hilary Clinton's bid for the White House.
