He’s melted our hearts and made us swoon for years… but is England’s biggest playboy finally settling down?
Sources are saying that the one and only Prince Harry is ready to pop the question to his girlfriend, Cressida (Cressie for short) Bonas. Does this mean no more strip poker in Vegas?! (Let’s hope not)
The two were introduced by the Prince’s cousin, Princess Eugenie of York, back in May of 2012. So, is the 29 year old Prince ready to make such a huge commitment to the 24 year old socialite after only knowing her for about a year and a half? If he is, props to Cressie for getting Harry to put a ring on it much faster than Kate. (Kate and Will dated for 7 years before he popped the question in October 2010)
Here are all the things we know about Cressie…
· She’s 24
· She is heir to the Curzon banking fortune
· She graduated Leeds University and the Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance
· She’s a professional model
· Her BFF is Princess Eugenie
· Bonas used to date Harry Wentworth-Stanley, whose stepfather is a cousin to the Queen
· She’s a free spirit who loves music
· She’s a partier
· Harry has introduces her to Will and Kate already… but not to Grandma yet (Kate was introduced to Queen Elizabeth 4 years into dating Will)
If Prince Harry does propose to her, she will have big shoes to fill. The whole world fell in love with Kate Middleton when she and Prince William started dating during their college years. And to put it lightly, Kate is perfect… Besides a few stories for her wild teenage years and the topless pictures that were creepily taken of her on vacation she has gone scandal free. Cressie on the other hand is a huge partier who loves to go to music festivals, concerts, and parties.
Some say Cressie is too free-spirited and wild for the royal family but maybe that is what they royal family needs! William, Harry, and Kate are responsible for turning the image of the family around. After Charles and Diana divorced the image of the royal family was sub par… but when Diana died, tragically, the public largely blamed the royal family.
Cressie would have to tone it done a bit but with her added spunk I think commoners and royal a like will love her. If she’s won Harry’s heart she has all of my support.
Good luck to this wild, young, and ridiculously good-looking couple… and Harry, if it doesn’t work out, on over to the other side of the pond.
