Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas are head over heels in love

Britain’s Prince Harry and girlfriend Cressida Bonas are “very much in love” and he has been close to her after the death of her former stepfather. The young couple, who have been dating on and off for 20 months, have been seen on a number of low-key dates in recent weeks, including a night at the Royal Albert Hall watching Cirque du Soleil’s hit show Quidam (12.02.14).

Prince Harry treated his blonde girlfriend to a night out to take her mind off the death of her former stepfather, Christopher Shaw, whose funeral was also on Wednesday.

A royal source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “The fact she wanted to be with Harry after such a tough day shows how strong their bond has grown.”

Speaking about recent split rumours, they said: “When they didn’t see each other much over Christmas there was speculation their relationship had gone downhill but that was just rubbish.

“They spend a lot of time together and are very much in love.”

The pair are no doubt planning more date nights now 29 year old Harry has given up flying for a military desk job and Cressida has decided a career in the dance world would be difficult to handle with a royal relationship.

Last night, William Hill halved the odds of Harry proposing to his girlfriend before the end of the year from 2-1 to evens.

Cressida arrived for her stepfather’s funeral in Hampshire with half-brother, Jacobi Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe, 30.

Mr Shaw, who was 76, was the fourth husband of Cressida’s mother, Lady Mary Gaye Curzon, 66. The couple were married for four years before they split up in 2000.
