The KISS PIC!!!
MY LIFE IS FUCKING RUINED!!!!!!!!!
It looks like Harry is kissing Cressida’s forehead and not her lips!
OO’
SMITTEN Prince Harry is to move into a new love nest to romance his hot society girlfriend Cressida Bonas.
Pals of the party prince reckon he is finally ready to settle down and has his sights firmly set on the posh heiress.
And as part of the plan, Harry will give up his Kensington Palace bachelor pad and move into nearby Nottingham Cottage.
He is giving the place a cosy makeover to woo the babe and prove he is moving beyond his wild days.
Harry wants to give it a lick of paint and a “warm, welcoming and homely” feel with comfy furniture.
The two-bedroom retreat became the weekend home of Prince William, 30, and Princess Kate, 31, after their marriage.
But Harry, 28, will get it when the couple move to Norfolk’s Anmer Hall this summer with their newborn.
A source said: “Kate and William need somewhere bigger so the sensible plan is for Harry to take Nottingham Cottage.
“Harry’s old bachelor pad was very small but the cottage is a brilliant size for two.
“It’s a perfect love nest.”
Another said that after his failed relationship with Zimbabwean Chelsy Davy, 27, Harry is now ready to shed his wild image.
The source added: “Harry has always worn his heart on his sleeve and falls in love very easily.
“But I genuinely think he has started to hanker after something more.”
Pals of Cressida, 24, say she kept her feelings for the royal hidden until recently, with friends dubbing them H&C, meaning Hot & Cold.
After months of speculation they were finally seen hugging and kissing on a mini break on the slopes of eye-wateringly expensive Swiss ski resort Verbier.
Pals now say Harry is looking forward to settling down.
But Cressida has been taking things slowly as she is keen to make a life for herself before getting the royal seal of approval.
One friend said: “They are enjoying each other’s company and having fun together, but she is still young and keen to make the most of her dance degree.”
And rather than Cressida being lucky to have snared Harry, friends say it is definitely the other way round.
One added: “The thing about Cressie and her family is that they are used to grand people living in grand houses.
“It’s like water off a duck’s back to them.
“She is, you might say, properly posh.
“She isn’t just familiar with Harry’s world, she’s part of it.
“He is lucky to have won her. You really couldn’t meet anyone more fun or sweeter in nature.”
PRINCE Harry declared his love for girlfriend Cressida Bonas yesterday in an unprecedented public display of affection.
The third in line to the throne kissed and cuddled the blonde dance student in full view of fellow skiers on the slopes at the Swiss resort of Verbier.
Harry, 28, and Cressie, 24, have spent the past few days in the upmarket resort – as the Daily Express exclusively revealed yesterday.
“They are very much together,” said one friend. “Cressie’s a lovely girl. He’s absolutely smitten with her.”
The first historic images of the couple out together, revealing the depth of their romance, will inevitably evoke memories of the first pictures which confirmed the relationship between his brother William and Kate Middleton when they were famously snapped skiing together in Switzerland.
Harry and Cressie, who have been dating since last May, have until now managed to avoid the cameras together.
They tried to keep their relationship secret by arriving and leaving separately at parties and nightclubs.
However, yesterday there was no disguising the relationship. The pair have been holidaying with a party that includes Harry’s cousins, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and their divorced parents Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York, who traditionally go to Verbier at this time of year to mark Andrew’s birthday.
Cressie, an expert skier who once worked as a ski instructor, kept Harry on his mettle as she bombed around Verbier’s runs. “She’s very sporty and great fun,” said a friend.
At one point yesterday Cressie and Eugenie, 22, who shares a similar sense of fun, played around in the snow with a St Bernard dog.
Many of the skiing party are expected to meet up again in a few days’ time when Cressie’s half-sister, actress Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe, marries Sir Richard Branson’s son Sam in South Africa.
It is not clear yet whether Harry will attend the wedding but he is due to visit Johannesburg and the mountain kingdom of Lesotho next week on behalf of his African Aids charity Sentebale.
So it would not be surprising if the Prince, who is on five weeks’ leave after a four-month tour of duty as an Apache helicopter pilot in Afghanistan, were to join up with Cressie again.
The couple met through mutual acquaintances and went out together in a group of friends for a while before they started dating.
Cressie, initially aloof, passed the discretion test and has made Harry work at the romance, not so much because she was playing games but because she was really not particularly bothered at first.
Their relationship came to public notice in July when they were spotted sitting together at the London premiere of a Batman movie and went on to an after-party.
Soon afterwards they flew to Necker, Sir Richard Branson’s private Caribbean island, to celebrate Sam’s 27th birthday.
When Harry then went on to Las Vegas with a group of male friends for a pre-Afghanistan blow-out, it looked as if the relationship might end after he was photographed naked with another woman during a game of strip billiards in his hotel room.
But Cressie found the whole incident amusing and when he returned to England, she spent several days holed up with him in a country house, earning his gratitude.
“She’s perfect for Harry; loyal, romantic and calm,” a friend of the Prince said soon afterwards. “She’s not fazed by the whole royal girlfriend thing. She doesn’t do drugs, and she and Harry are so funny together.”
While Harry was in Afghanistan he contacted Cressie regularly and asked his friends to bring her closer into his inner circle of trusted confidants.
He is as smitten with her as he was with his first serious girlfriend Chelsy Davy. She finally broke up with him in 2011.
Now, however, it is Harry who is keener to take the new relationship to a more serious level, according to friends.
