A source close to Cressida Bonas also told the

Daily Mail

“‘Cressie is only 25 and pretty young for her age at that. Prince Harry will be 30 this year and is at a different stage in his life. He is incredibly fond of Cressie and understands that she wants to do something with her life and with her career before she considers settling down.”

The split comes as surprise since there have been speculations of an engagement since Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas were seen sitting together at a We Day UK Charity Event at Wembley Stadium last March. Prince Harry and Miss Bonas were said to have been introduced to each other by Harry’s cousin, Princess Eugenie on the summer of 2012.

Cressida Bonas is the daughter of model, Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon, who once posed naked streaked in engine oil for a coffee table book as a homage for her race car driver grandfather Francis, the 5th Earl Howe, and Businessman Jeffrey Bonas.
