Prince Harry to give up bachelor life

Prince Harry to give up bachelor life

It appears the last of the Prince of Wales bachelors has been snapped up, with Kensington Palace expecting Prince Harry to announce his engagement to Cressida Bonas by the end of this year.

Prince Harry, 28, has been dating the 24-year-old blonde society girl and dance student for 15 months after they were introduced by his cousin, Princess Eugenie in May last year.

Already something of an aristocratic insider, Cressida comes from a well-to-do family.

Her mother, Lady Mary-Gaye Georgiana Lorna Curzon, was a 1960s pin-up girl and is the daughter of the 6th Earl Howe. Cressida’s father, Jeffrey Bonas, meanwhile is a well-connected Harrovian entrepreneur.

But despite her impeccable pedigree, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for her and Harry.

He almost lost his chance with Cressida after naked photos of him partying in Las Vegas emerged.

The couple are said to have split over this very public incident before rekindling their romance shortly after.

The UK paper the Daily Star Sunday has quoted sources stating that Harry has privately joked about proposing to Cessida “any day now”.

“The way it’s looking now people close to Harry and Cressida predict an engagement by the end of the year and a spring wedding,” a source said.

“Cressida is The One,” the source explained. “People have heard Harry talking about how special Cress is and about getting engaged.”

Looks like we’ll be in for another royal wedding next year!
