Britain's Prince Harry has been spending a lot of time with girlfriend Cressida Bonas.
The flame-haired royal and his 24-year-old girlfriend were rumoured to be drifting apart after Harry spent a number of weeks abroad, including a charity trip to the South Pole, but now the couple are said to be stronger than ever.
According to the Sunday Express newspaper, Harry, 29, has also been "particularly thoughtful" during a difficult time for Cressida, when her former stepfather Christopher Shaw was found dead three weeks ago after a suspected drug overdose.
Mr Shaw was the fourth husband of her mother Lady Mary Gaye Curzon and was said to have been a "strong presence" in Cressida's childhood life.
The ex-banker, 76 - who was battling kidney disease and was given 18 months to live two years ago - was discovered by his housekeeper at his rented home in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
Harry and Cressida, who have been dating on/off for 20 months, were spotted grabbing a burger last month at London restaurant Byron in Kensington High Street, close to Kensington Palace, accompanied by bodyguards.
The pair spent more than an hour in the restaurant with two security men before getting into the prince's car outside, which was driven by a third man.

Britain's Princess Eugenie sat front row at a New York fashion show on Friday (07.02.14).
The 23-year-old royal attended the Nonoo Autumn/Winter 2014 show in Manhattan and was photographed wearing a navy blue shift dress and pointed black stiletto heels.
The redhead also wore bright pink lipstick for the fashion event by Misha Nonoo and placed her two-tone blue handbag at her feet.

She had only planned to stay to complete a three-month placement but was offered a permanent role at Christmas after making a good impression at the art auction house, which is backed by Damien Hirst and specialises in contemporary artists including Jeff Koons and Banksy.
Sources say she is staying in a stylish apartment in the Meatpacking district and is "making the most" of her time there.
The younger daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York has been seen at a number of social events in recent weeks, including the amfAR's gala a New York's Cirpriani Wall Street, joining big names including Vanessa Redgrave, Karlie Kloss, Lily Aldridge, Kelly Rowland, Coco Rocha and Donna Karan.
Eugenie wore an emerald green dress for the star-studded event and showed her support for the Foundation of AIDS research.

Prince performed another surprise show at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire last night (09.10.14).
Celebrities including Cara Delevingne, Nick Grimshaw and Florence Welch danced along to the 'Purple Rain' hitmaker and his all-female band, 3RDEYEGIRL.
The gig followed a secret 'open sound-check' and two gigs in one night at the Electric Ballroom in north London last week, tickets for which were just £10 for fans who queued for hours in the rain to see the music legend.
Last night's concert was announced on BBC 6 Music by the singer's band and hundreds of fans started queuing outside the venue for tickets which were labelled as £70 and later brought down to £10 once gig-goers reached the doors at 7pm.
The singer performed new material with his band and launched into a medley of 'How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?', 'Purple Rain' and 'Do Me Baby', which went down a storm with the audience.
Prince is continuing his string of surprise London performances at a number of "iconic venues" in the city which are causing a buzz on social media.
He has hinted at his desire to play venues such as Ronnie Scott's and the Bag O' Nails Club in Soho - although details for future gigs are being kept under wraps.
Prince also described his trip to London as "open-ended" and told fans: "We're gonna try and find somewhere else to play in this city. We'll stay as long as you'll have us."

Michelle Collins claims she had to quit 'Coronation Street' because it was turning her into a "zombie."
The 51-year-old actress, who has played Rovers Return landlady Stella Price since 2011, will leave the ITV soap in June after being left exhausted from driving between her London home and the show's set in Manchester.
Michelle told The Sun newspaper: "I threw myself wholeheartedly into Corrie but I ended up spreading myself far too thinly.
"The tiredness is the worst, it can make you a zombie. Work is fantastic, but it's not the be-all and end-all.
"You have to have some quality of life as well.
"That's what Corrie has taught me. If you don't have a work-life balance it can start to drive you a bit crazy.
"So I had to step back and say, 'I can't be Superwoman. I just can't do everything'. "
The blonde star, who has an 18-year-old daughter, Maia, with ex-boyfriend Fabrizio Tassalini, found it difficult to make time for herself.
She added: "Like a lot of working mums, I worked so b****y hard and I was just tired all the time. I ran myself ragged and the last person I thought to look after was me."
Michelle, who also played villain Cindy Beale in EastEnders for ten years, insists she will miss the "warmth and friendliness" of 'Coronation Street' but she won't miss the travelling.
She explained: "Once I made four journeys between London and Manchester in one day. Another time I crashed into a parked car after a long journey. I knew the travel wouldn't be easy, but I didn't realise how hard it would be.
"You are in almost every scene. I had some fantastic stories and as an actress you want that.
"But I felt like I was on a loop. Home late Friday, Saturday, then back on Sunday."
She added: "That said, I still think I would have gone through with it if I'd known how hard it would be. Being landlady of the Rovers was an amazing experience."

Simon Cowell has agreed to let Cheryl Cole verbally abuse him on 'The X Factor' panel.
The show boss is determined to get the former Girls Aloud singer back on the UK judging team with him and has offered her a hefty pay check of a rumoured £2 million for her return.
The 30-year-old singer worked on the panel from 2008, before leaving in 2011 to work on the US version of the programme.
However, the brunette beauty was kicked off the show by bosses amid concerns viewers would struggle with her thick Geordie accent.
The 54-year-old music mogul - who announced his return to the UK show last week - knows Cheryl is still fuming about getting sacked and has given her the go-ahead to rip into him if she returns.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Simon is ready for the fury of Cheryl on screen.
"He has made it clear she can say what she wants to him, and get the fans booing and hissing him at any stage. Obviously fireworks on screen between the pair could make for astonishing viewing. Simon knows that.
"He is keen to prove that with his return The X Factor will trounce Strictly and land its rightful place as the No1 show in Britain."
Meanwhile, Simon has arranged an intimate dinner with Cheryl at his west London home for later this week to discuss her return, and it is believed a final decision could be made by the end of the month.

William Roache "can't wait" to return to 'Coronation Street'.
The 81-year-old actor - who was last week cleared of historic sex assault and rape charges - is set to meet with soap bosses this week to discuss his character Ken Barlow's comeback and he hopes writers will pen a scene featuring Ken and Kevin Webster, played by Michael Le Vell, who was cleared of sex assault charges last year.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Bill can't wait to go back to work.
"The first time Ken and Kevin appear together on screen again will be an historic moment, there is no getting away from it. I'm sure it will be emotional. It will end what has been a truly terrible time for the pair of them.
"It is a significant moment for the show too - a new start. As far as Bill is concerned that can't come soon enough.''
Michael recently returned to work on the ITV soap after he was found not guilty of several charges, including rape, in court in September.
Meanwhile, William was written out of 'Corrie' last May after the charges - which included four counts of sexual assault and two counts of rape against girls under 16 between 1965 and 1971 - were first brought against him.
The soap veteran is expected to return to screens in August.
