They were forced to spend Christmas and New Year’s Eve apart – now Prince Harry has whisked girlfriend Cressida Bonas off to Switzerland to make up for lost time.
Harry and Cressida reportedly departed London last night bound for the Swiss Alps, where they will spend a few days hitting the slopes and getting reacquainted.
“Cressida is a very good skier, unlike Harry’s former girlfriend Chelsy Davy who hated the cold,” a friend told the UK’s Daily Mail newspaper.
“She and Harry have been looking forward to getting away with each other for a long time.”
It will be the couple’s second ski holiday in the snowy country – they travelled to Verbier in February last year. It proved to be a very romantic break, with the couple being photographed hugging and kissing in public for the first time.
It was a rare display of affection from the pair, who usually go to great lengths to avoid being pictured even walking next to each other.
The romantic getaway fuels speculation Harry is preparing to propose to Cressida, his girlfriend of around 19 months.
The young lovers haven’t seen much of each other in recent months. Harry was trekking in the Antarctic for four weeks late last year and they spent Christmas apart because girlfriends aren’t invited to the Queen’s official festive celebrations in Sandringham.
Shortly after Christmas, Cressida flew out to the Caribbean with her half-sister Isabella Calthorpe to enjoy some sunshine, meaning she and Harry weren’t together for New Year’s Eve either.
