Harry’s ‘posh, pretty and perfect’ new princess

Prince Harry stood up by girlfriend

Prince Harry and his reported new love interest, Burberry model Cressida Bonas, 23.

Prince Harry certainly has a type and with her blonde hair, long legs and aristocratic pedigree, model Cressida Bonas ticks all the boxes.

There has been some confusion about the identity of the 27-year-old royal’s latest love interest, but it has now been confirmed that he is romancing Cressida, a 23-year-old model described by friends as “posh, pretty and perfect”.

Harry and Cressida were spotted “kissing and cuddling” at the after-party of the new Batman film at the Freemasons’ Hall in Covent Garden last week.

The pair then moved on to Mayfair hotspot Salon, where they went to great lengths to convince the paparazzi that they weren’t together — a tactic which is often the biggest hint that something is going on.

Harry and Cressida even arranged for her to arrive at the club with another man to make it look like she had a boyfriend. In fact, her escort was Jack Brooksbank, Princess Eugenie’s partner.

Inside the club, Cressida and Harry were spotted canoodling again before leaving, again separately, within two minutes of each other.

Cressida departed at 4.15am and was whisked away in a chauffeur-driven car. Harry and his bodyguards emerged soon after and were picked up by a similar car, prompting speculation the model and the royal were heading to the same destination.

Cressida is good friends with Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice and has aristocratic heritage herself, being the daughter of 1960s model Lady Mary-Gaye Georgiana Lorna Curzon.

Cressida also bears a striking resemblance to Harry’s two most recent girlfriends, lingerie model Florence Brudenell-Bruce and long-term love Chelsy Davy.

Indeed, Cressida and Chelsy have more in common than looks. They attended the same school, Stowe, and the same university, Leeds.

Cressida is a model for Burberry and an aspiring actress, which led to her initially being confused with fellow Burberry model and actress Cara Delevingne.
