Prince Harry Is Dating a California Cocktail Waitress (Who Sorta Looks Like His Sister-in-Law)

Prince Harry, who is in Southern California learning how to navigate an Apache attack helicopter, has been spotted with a San Diego cocktail waitress, according to Page Six.
Harry met Jessica Donaldson while she was working at the Ivy Nightclub at the Andaz Hotel in San Diego two weeks ago. They went out partying that night and met up for lunch the next day. Later the couple was sighted at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. Jes, as her friend's call her, has a massive floral tat down her side. Some are saying she looks a little like Princess Kate.
The storyline sounds like an awful romantic comedy crossed with "Top Gun": She was a cocktail waitress. He was a prince training for combat. Can the Queen accept a tatted-up American cocktail waitress as royalty? Especially after that embarrassing meeting where she talked about not wearing "pants," when she should have said "knickers."
But I'm getting ahead of myself. So far the couple has been seen dancing, kissing and drinking tequila. (And it's not like Prince Harry has the same pressure to settle down and breed as Prince William.)
