Cole 'flushed' while flirting with Prince Harry

Cheryl Cole "flirted" with Britain's Prince Harry when they met earlier this month.

The 'Call My Name' hitmaker is said to have told friends she wants a dinner date with the royal following their encounter at the afterparty for the Diamond Jubilee concert. Cheryl was performing for Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, in Buckingham Palace.

A source said: "They were definitely flirting and Cheryl said afterwards she'd love a dinner date with Harry."

Cheryl - who has admitted in the past to having a crush on the royal - reportedly made the first move, approaching Harry for a chat.

The source added to heat magazine: "Cheryl wasted no time sidling up to Harry in the swanky Long Gallery. She spotted Harry and made a beeline for him. He was standing with a couple of friends and his brother Prince William and his wife Kate weren't far away.

"Cheryl had arrived with her manager will.i.am , who looked like he was encouraging her to go over, so she did."

The witness revealed that Cheryl looked "flushed" when she was chatting to the hunky royal - who is an army helicopter pilot. He greeted her with the joke "I hear you like a man in uniform", a cheeky reference to her flirtation with soldier Andy Baker who she met in Afghanistan.
