Anastagia Pierre, 23, declared she was in town to fall in love with the 27-year-old prince and was obviously enamoured with Harry keeping a fixed gaze on him during their meeting.
The two met at a reception for youth leaders, held at the Sheraton Hotel, as part of his Diamond Jubilee ten-day tour.
Anastagia wore a slinky red dress for their meeting, which also involved another beauty queen (and possible rival), Sasha Joyce, the island’s Miss Bahamas World entrant.
Anastagia was declared Miss Bahamas Universe in the same competition as Miss Joyce, in April 2011.
Anastagia declared: ‘I came here to fall in love with Prince Harry….he’s hot! He is single now, so would I marry him, yes!’
Miss Pierre, a model and broadcaster who recently competed in the Miss Universe competition, added: ‘I am fascinated by the Royal Family, I have watched every interview Princess Diana has ever done.
‘There is great respect here for the Royal Family and we are hugely excited that Prince Harry has come here to see us. It is all over the television.’
Prince Harry arrived in the Bahamas March 3 to represent his grandmother for the first time – and left with a new legion of female followers.
He was greeted by cheers and screams as he conducted his first engagement wearing the No. 1 Tropical Dress of The Blues and Royals, the first time that he has worn the uniform in public.
In a speech delivered later in the day, Harry delivered a message from the Queen to the people of the Bahamas.
He said: ‘I stand before you with a deep sense of pride at being asked to convey to you a message of good wishes from The Queen on the occasion of her Diamond Jubilee.
‘The Bahamas holds a special place in Her Majesty’s heart. Her love for this realm and you, the Bahamian people, stretches back over the decades, right to that first visit in 1966.’
