Harry to take Cressida on holidays to where William proposed

Prince Harry and on again - off again love interest Cressida

Prince Harry and his current love interest, Cressida Bonas.

Is Prince Harry planning something?

The Prince will whisk away girlfriend Cressida Bonas on safari in Africa — the very place his brother Prince William decided was perfect to pop the question to Kate in 2010, the Daily Mirror reports.

The couple will spend a week in Botswana with friends including Harry’s younger cousin Princess Eugenie.

Prince Harry is said to be “very fond” of the 24-year-old dance student, according to friends, and they go to great lengths to keep their relationship private after his last serious relationship reportedly fizzled out following rumours she was uncomfortable with the focus and attention that royal life brings.

Cressida, who comes from an aristocratic family, is said to be similarly uncomfortable in the royal spotlight and the couple are rarely photographed together.

They were spotted kissing on the ski slopes shortly after they started dating last July, and friends have described their relationship as a “full-on romance”.

Harry’s decision to holiday with Cressida in the spot where his brother decided to get down on one knee has rumours of the Party Prince finally settling down whirring again.

The 28-year-old Prince is currently in Angola on a private visit to Princess Diana’s landmine charity the Halo Trust.

Cressida is believed to be flying out this weekend with Eugenie, 23, and her boyfriend.

Last month a friend of the couple told E! News Harry was convinced his blonde partner was “the one”.

“I would not be surprised if she’s the one he marries,” the friend said.
