Harry, 30, led the actress by the hand out of the star-studded after-party to chat on a sofa outside.
Miss Coleman, who plays the Time Lord’s assistant Clara Oswald in the hit BBC series, looked delighted at the attention.
The actress is believed to have split up with her long-term boyfriend, Game Of Thrones actor Richard Madden, 28, several months ago, according to the Mirror.
One onlooker said: ‘Harry sneaked outside with Jenna. He took her by the hand and led her away from the crowd in the sponsor’s tent. They sat alone and talked.

‘It was a very flirty, very tactile encounter. She was leaning in to him and he had his hand on her knee. From their body language, it looked like they were really enjoying each other’s company.
‘They were sitting very close, laughing lots and touching each other.'
Miss Coleman, who was wearing a sultry off-the-shoulder dress, was recently ranked 32nd in a list of the world’s most desirable women.
Earlier in the day, Harry had played in a polo match in aid of his African charity, Sentebale.

He stayed on afterwards to attend the party in the sponsor’s tent at Coworth Park, Ascot. Another guest said: ‘Everyone had been dancing inside and [the prince and Jenna] were together in a group, but Harry obviously wanted to talk to her alone.’
A spokesman for the prince declined to comment, while the actress’s publicist said they did not discuss her private life.
In a recent interview, Harry said he was content being single, adding: ‘I’m very happy not having a girlfriend. It’s not a case of anything. I’m not, sort of, looking. It’s cool.’
The prince – who is shortly due to leave the Army to focus on charity work – was knighted by the Queen this week for his service to the monarchy.
... but is he still hooked on Cressida?
Doctor Who’s sidekick wasn’t the only woman on the prince’s mind this week.
Just four days after his encounter with Jenna Coleman at the polo, Harry sneaked in after the lights went down to watch his ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas perform in her West End show.
The pair, who were introduced by Harry’s cousin and Miss Bonas’s best friend, Princess Eugenie, suddenly split last spring after two years of dating.
On Wednesday, Harry was spotted arriving at London's Leicester Square Theatre with friend Guy Pelly and his wife to watch the prince's ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas perform in her West End show
Sources said Cressida (above), 26, struggled with the attention that came with dating an heir to the throne and wanted to concentrate on her blossoming acting career. She is pictured outside the show
This was said to follow a furious row over a trip to the US to attend the wedding of Harry’s close friend, Guy Pelly.
Sources also said Miss Bonas, 26, struggled with the attention that came with dating an heir to the throne and wanted to concentrate on her blossoming acting career.
She has since gone on to become a face of British brand Mulberry, secured a small part in the forthcoming Hollywood film Tulip Fever, and has earned rave reviews for her latest show – An Evening with Lucian Freud at London’s Leicester Square Theatre.
On Wednesday, Harry, dressed inconspicuously in jeans, desert boots and a black baseball cap pulled low over his face, arrived minutes after the play had started to watch his former flame.
Miss Bonas is the only on-stage performer in the production, starring as art student Laura who writes to Lucian Freud and finds herself drawn into his world.
ITV newscaster Alastair Stewart, stargazer Russell Grant and actress Maureen Lipman all have filmed cameo roles in the show.
It was not the first time the prince and Miss Bonas have been seen together since their split, having been photographed at the cinema with friends.
Harry also went to support the actress at one of her earlier productions.
On Wednesday, he was accompanied by nightclub owner Mr Pelly and his American wife, Elizabeth.
Harry stayed at the theatre for half an hour after the play had finished, before slipping out of the front door and walking to his Audi parked nearby.
Miss Bonas, meanwhile, left with friends to eat at nearby theatreland favourite J Sheekey.
Friends insist the pair are not back together, although admit Harry is still extremely fond of his ex-girlfriend.
