Britain’s Prince Harry and girlfriend Cressida Bonas are "very much in love".
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 on Wednesday (12.02.14).
The flame-haired prince 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.
