Cressida Bonas might have stolen Prince Harry’s heart but she hasn’t had as much luck with his sister-in-law the Duchess of Cambridge.
Kate is reportedly “not keen” on the couple’s burgeoning romance and would be very unhappy if they got married, according to the UK’s Daily Telegraph newspaper.
But it’s not Cressida’s youth, blonde hair or model figure that has Kate upset — it’s her half-sister Isabella Calthorpe, who caught William’s eye during his brief split from Kate in 2007.
William was reportedly “smitten” with the glamorous blonde — who is now married to Richard Branson’s son Sam — but she rebuffed his advances and he eventually went back to Kate.
Although Kate got the fairy tale wedding and the baby, she reportedly still can’t stand Isabella and fears she would be forced to socialise with her if Harry married Cressida.
“Cressida has said Kate is not keen on her relationship with Harry,” a friend told the Telegraph. “Cressie and Isabella could not be closer. Where she goes, Bella goes.
“Kate does not like Isabella because William loved her, and that caused their break-up. Bella’s treatment at the royal wedding won’t be forgotten.”
Isabella was invited to William and Kate’s wedding ceremony, but not to either of the two receptions that followed, leading many to speculate there was a significant rift between her and the bride.
