Prince Harry to Marry soon
Prince Harry who is a hugely likeable young man who charms his way around the world, winning hearts wherever he goes;is said to be totally smitten with Bonas and wants to settle down soon.
“Cressie is going to marry Harry,” one of her friends said. “Harry never stops talking about marriage and children, and she has now got used to the idea. The wedding is likely to take place next year.”
The 29-year-old Prince is said to have fallen in love with the free-spirited ways of 24-year-old Bonas as soon as he was introduced by his cousin, Princess Eugenie, in May 2012. But she felt too young to marry.
“Cressida has been in floods of tears,” another friend claimed. “Harry is coming on very strong, but she is all over the place. She thinks she is far too young to get married and is scared by all his talk of marriage and settling down.”
The Prince however persisted,maintaining regular telephone contact throughout his four-month posting when he was sent to serve in Afghanistan last November.
Since his return, the romance has blossomed, with nights at the cinema and time spent among friends. Last week they went to see a James Blunt concert; the following night,they were at the West End musical “The Book of Mormon”. The pair have the same sparkling sense of fun and relish a good party.
Miss Bonas studied dance at Leeds University and graduated from the Trinity Laban Conservatoire earlier this year.
Her family, which has direct links to Edward VII, is bohemian and entertaining — something the Prince is said to like about them.
Her mother is Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon, 66, the Sixties “It girl” and daughter of the 6th Earl Howe. Her father is Lady Mary-Gaye’s third husband, the businessman Jeffrey Bonas.
One of her half-sisters, Pandora, is an accessories designer for Vivienne Westwood; her half-brother Jacobi Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe is a polo-playing man about town. Her half-sister Isabella, to whom she is very close, recently married Sir Richard Branson’s son Sam. Before going to Leeds, Miss Bonas spent a gap year working in a bar and restaurant in Australia.
