Prince Harry Pressured by Family Members to Propose to GF Cressida Bonas
Over the past few weeks, there have been speculations of Prince Harry wanting to settle down with current beau, Cressida Bonas. The royal has been dating the socialite for over a year now, and it seems Harry's family is supporting his supposed decision.
The couple was spotted last February putting on an affectionate display while skiing in Switzerland with Harry's uncle, Prince Andrew, and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. Beatrice and Eugenie, the divorced couple's daughters, were also there with them. There have been reports of the two talking marriage on that trip, with their whole family urging the 28-year-old to propose.
A source from the upcoming book Harry: The People's Prince by Chris Hutchins explained, "I'm told they talked of marriage in Switzerland this year. Fergie was urging him to propose, but H wouldn't go that far."
The book's source added, "That said, he's seen how happy marriage has made his brother and I think he wants some of that. I'm also informed that Cressida's mother has told Eugenie she'd love to see them settle down together, but Cressida won't be rushed any more than he will."
But Cressida seems to have a rival with Prince Harry's affections in his ex Chelsy Davy. Their on-again, off-again relationship that ended in 2010 was widely known across continents. It was reported that Chelsy doesn't want getting involved in a public life, which was the reason for their breakup.
Despite the breakup, however, Harry's close friends still feel strongly for the ex's romance being rekindled, claiming that the 27-year-old truly is the love of his life.
An insider said, "Don't write Chelsy off. She was the love of his life for seven years, and it wouldn't surprise me if she didn't re-emerge at some point in the not-too-distant future. I think they love each other and eventually they will get back together. In fact - and she'll hate me for saying this--I believe they will marry once she is convinced, of course, that his wandering eye days are over."
Meanwhile, the book is due out on April 25 and includes an in-depth look into Harry's romantic life, including accounts from his former lovers.
