Prince Harry spending more time with Cressida


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.
