Kate Beckinsale recently sparked significant concern among fans and media outlets after posting a series of alarming, cryptic messages on September 20, 2026. She wiped her Instagram of all posts before dropping the cryptic notes (which are archived or deleted as well). Notably, the concerning posts came after she revealed her PTSD diagnosis and hit back at online scrutiny surrounding her weight loss.
Kate Beckinsale’s mental and physical troubles sparked renewed attention to her love life. The actress has had several high-profile relationships, including with Pete Davidson and Michael Sheen. She once even allegedly had a chance with Prince Harry, and her friend rooted for their romance.
Kate Beckinsale could have ended up dating Prince Harry, her friend revealed details
Kate Beckinsale was one of the most widely desired pop-culture icons of the 2000s. The Pearl Harbor star was known for both her on-screen performances and her beauty. Among her admirers who became her boyfriends was Pete Davidson. Kate had a whirlwind romance with Pete for about four months, which reportedly ended in April 2019. Following that, her friend and fellow actress Sarah Silverman shared that she once wanted Kate to date the then-sought-after bachelor, Prince Harry.
According to Sarah, American beauty Kate could have dated the British royal Harry if she wanted to. Notably, it was before the Duke of Sussex met his now-wife, Meghan Markle. In a chat with Us Weekly, Sarah said she wanted to live her dream through Kate Beckinsale and encouraged her to pursue a romance with Prince Harry. Hinting at Kate’s influence and popularity in the 2000s, The Ralph Breaks the Internet star stated:
“I remember when Prince Harry was single, like, I would live vicariously through [Kate Beckinsale] and be like, ‘Oh, my God, date Prince Harry!…because, like, she could!”
Sarah Silverman jovially added that Kate could have dated the prince charming in her prime or before he met Meghan Markle; however, it was not possible for her anymore, as he already tied the knot with the Anti-Social actress in May 2018. Sarah praised Kate, saying she was “beautiful” enough to have Harry smitten with her if she wanted. She further stated her friend also has a “big brain” and stated:
“Now she couldn’t, but, like, you know, she’s so beautiful and beyond that, just a really big brain. She’s so quick, it’s bizarre. It’s too much. I think it’s too much!”
Sarah Silverman, who dated Kate Beckinsale’s ex, Michael Sheen, said that she wasn’t sure who she would set the Serendipity actress up with after her romance with Pete Davidson ended and the Prince Harry prospect was ruled out because of his marriage. However, she said she had faith Kate would soon find the right person for her. “She’ll figure it out,” Sarah Silverman said.
More about Kate Beckinsale’s relationship with Pete Davidson
Kate Beckinsale and Pete Davidson’s relationship was short-lived; however, their significant age gap became a talking point. For the uninitiated, Kate was 20 years older than Pete. Back in 2019, when they were dating, Kate was 45, while Pete was 25. However, they weren’t bothered by it. During a weekend episode of SNL, David shared that people were concerned about their age gap. He said:
“Apparently people have a crazy fascination with our age difference. But it doesn’t really bother us. But then again, I’m new to this.”
Kate and Pete first sparked dating rumors in January 2019, when they were seen cuddling at a Golden Globes afterparty. The former couple was spotted holding hands in public twice in the following weeks. On March 3, 2019, they were photographed locking lips at a New York Rangers game at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. However, the next month, Kate and Pete reportedly went their separate ways due to difficulties in maintaining a long-distance relationship.
