Cressida Bonas is said to have taken up a $35,000-a-year marketing job at a theatre company in London.
The news comes just weeks after Harry announced he had quit his job as a helicopter pilot for an army desk job in the British capital.
Cressida is understood to have sought out her new role in order to be closer to Harry. Had she pursued a career as a dancer as planned she would have spent most of her time travelling to auditions and performances, limiting the hours the smitten couple could be together.
Cressida’s new career is not without royal precedent – Princess Diana worked as a dance instructor and nanny while dating Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cambridge took a gig at her parents’ party-planning business before her fairy-tale marriage to Prince William.
Earlier in the year reports circulated suggesting Harry and Cressida had hit a rough patch over the holidays and drifted apart after their long stints abroad. But most recently the couple have been spending more time together with Harry staying two weekends at the Norfolk house owned by Cressida’s family, which is just 20 minutes from Sandringham.

Harry, who will be 30 this year, seems to be getting serious with his down-to-earth girlfirend but royal insiders say it’s still too early to talk of engagements between the party Prince and 24-year-old Cressida.
