The big news all over the world
now is that fourth in line to the British throne; Prince Harry has officially split
from his long time beaux, Cressida Bonas. Here’s how CNN reports it:
London (CNN) -- Britain's Prince
Harry is officially single again after splitting with Cressida Bonas, his
girlfriend of two years.
The two had been widely tipped to marry in the next big
royal wedding. Speculation became feverish after they appeared at their first
official appearance together last month, kissing and hugging at a charity event
at London's Wembley Arena.
Harry, fourth in the line to the British throne, and
Bonas had been spotted several times on private dates in paparazzi shots that
appeared in British newspapers. A source close to the couple told CNN they
remain "best of friends."
The source said: "It's very, very sad that they have
decided to split. It's very amicable but they have decided to go their separate
ways."
One reason for the breakup is that Bonas, at the age of
25, had her own ambitions that were increasingly being overshadowed by her high
profile relationship. She recently completed a one-year contemporary dance
course at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London and now has a marketing
job.
She never seemed comfortable with all the attention that
came with being linked to one of the world's most eligible bachelors. Rumors of
marriage had heaped pressure on Bonas, and prompted an increasing amount of
media intrusion into her personal life.
Harry, in previous interviews, has raised the question of
who would want to take on such a high profile boyfriend. People have often
scoffed at the notion, filling up social media with marriage proposals for the
Prince, but in some way he may now feel vindicated. They will both hope that by
separating they will end the media interest in Bonas and give her the privacy
she wants to pursue a career in her own right.
Harry was introduced to Bonas by his cousin, Princess
Eugenie. Bonas' mother is socialite and 1960s "It Girl" Lady
Mary-Gaye Georgina Lorna Curzon.
It's worth noting that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also split up at one point in their
twenties, prompting speculation that Harry and Bonas could get back together in
the future, if things settle down and they both feel ready.
Harry is reportedly heading to Memphis this weekend for
the marriage of his close friend Guy Pelley to hotel heiress Elizabeth Wilson.
He'll be hoping to keep a lower profile on this trip -- on his last private
visit to the U.S. as a single man, he was caught on camera stripping at a party
in Las Vegas.
