They say a picture is worth a thousand words but Jessica Donaldson claims they don’t always tell the real story. She is refuting media reports that she and Prince Harry exchanged a kiss on Saturday night.
The San Diego nightclub waitress did hang out with the British royal at a bar in Solana Beach but she says he was just leaning in close when photographers captured shots that suggesting they were engaged in a lip lock.
Donaldson, 26, first met Harry at the Andaz Hotel in early October, where the dark-haired beauty works as a bikini-clad cocktail waitress. She gave him her cell number and he later sent her a text, inviting her to meet him at the Belly Up Tavern this weekend.
It turns out that Jessica has been in a three-year relationship with Brandon Thomason. She was able to convince him that it was all just a friendly evening at a bar and nothing more. He is reportedly satisfied with her explanation.
Donaldson admits, “I am very upset that all this has blown up. Prince Harry is just a regular guy who enjoys a few beers with his buddies. He’s really cool and down-to-earth and that’s what I like about him. I’m flattered he showed me attention but there is nothing more to it than that.”
Harry was been receiving Army Apache pilot training at the Top Gun facility in El Centro, California.
