Prince Harry narrowly avoids run-in with exes Camilla Thurlow and Ellie Goulding

Prince Harry avoided a very awkward run-in with two of his exes at the Our Planet launch.

The Royal night out as William and Harry join Prince Charles at Attenborough premiere packed with famous faces including Harry, Prince William, and Prince Charles as they helped Sir David Attenborough premiere the Netflix documentary series.

But what one red-faced planner didn't foresee was the Duke of Sussex being seated next to his ex Camilla Thurlow, who had a front row seat next to the royals.

Luckily for Harry, 34, his dad stepped in for a last-minute seat swap so they wouldn't have to go through any awkward pleasantries.

Harry, who is now married to Meghan Markle , also swerved a face-to-face with his other ex Ellie Goulding, 32, who was in attendance but skipped out on the after-party.

According to the Sun , the seating plan had him placed next to Love Island star Camilla, 29, who was there with her boyfriend Jamie Jewitt.

But no one had put two and two together when it came to their saucy history - they were rumoured to have had a fling back in 2014, which was way before he married Meghan.

An source told the publication: “Nobody had realised the link between Harry and Camilla at first. But just before the event, it was flagged up and they had to quickly rearrange things.

“It would have been extremely embarrassing for them to bring Harry along and sit him right next to his ex.

"His advisers would have been furious if they’d put him in that position."

Camilla, who wore a lilac dress to the glamorous event, has been working closely with the World Wide Fund for Nature, which collaborated with the production company behind the eight-part documentary series.

Prince Harry's blushes were also saved from running into his other ex, singer Ellie Goulding.

She was spotted arriving for the screening but made a quick exit by leaving the event early.
