Here are some photos of Prince Harry at last night’s WellChild Awards. I’m including mostly red carpet shots, but I’m also including a photo of Harry meeting a sick boy. Harry gave him a big hug! Who doesn’t want a big hug from Harry? I have to say, Harry has really stepped up his public schedule lately. He’s always kept a much heavier schedule than his brother and his brother’s wife, but over the past year, Harry’s work ethic has been taken to another level as he organized the Invictus Games plus kept his military job plus all of his charitable obligations plus making appearances on behalf of the Queen.

What also surprises me a bit is that after hearing about Camilla Thurlow and how Harry and Camilla could be the real deal, Harry is pretty much back with Cressida Bonas. It’s possible he could be dating Camilla and Cressida at the same time. But I’m kind of wondering if the Camilla thing is over and he’s now actively back with Cressida.

Tongues were set wagging last week when the former couple were spotted on a cinema date. The day after the Prince’s 30th birthday party, he sneaked into the Kensington Odeon with Bonas, 25, to a showing of the new Cameron Diaz romcom, Sex Tape. A week earlier, Bonas had been in the audience as the Prince gave a speech during the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games. Prince Harry’s biographer is convinced that the couple have a future.

Penny Junor, the veteran royal-watcher and author of Prince Harry: Brother, Soldier, Son, says the pair – who formally ended their two-year relationship in April, after the aspiring actress struggled to handle the role of royal girlfriend – are, in fact, perfect for each other.

“Cressida seems to tick a lot of the boxes for Harry,” says Junor. “She’s bohemian, she’s talented, she’s bright, she’s independent, she’s confident, she’s good fun, and she loves to party. She comes from a wealthy and aristocratic family herself, and couldn’t care less about his royal status. He may be a party animal, but the flip side of Harry is incredibly professional, responsible and dynamic. He also has a very sweet nature and he’s loving. The same is true of Cressida. And they both have a great sense of humour and seem to make each other laugh.”

Junor believes the only downside to the relationship was the constant attention it generated. “That seems to have been a major factor in their break-up,” she says, “as it was with Chelsy Davy.”

The Prince and Bonas are kindred spirits in other ways, too, says Junor, both having had difficult childhoods and experiencing loss at an early age. “Cressida’s mother was married three times before she married Jeffrey Bonas, and Cressida was her fifth child. She and Jeffrey split up when Cressida was very young. Her mother married her fourth husband and divorced him when Cressida was 11, and is now on her fifth partner. So Cressida has a complicated assortment of half-siblings, as well as step-relatives that have come and gone.”

According to a Bonas family friend: “Her family history isn’t full of happy marriages and neither is his, so I think there was a nervousness on both sides that if they went that way, would they really know what they were doing?”

During their first breakup cycle, I noted several times that Cressida seemed somewhat immature for her age (she’s 25). She’s lived the life of a perpetual student for the most part, and I get the feeling that she’s only recently begun to consider a life beyond dance and studying dance. Plus, it just seemed like her relationship with Harry gave her a lot of teenage-esque angst. Maybe the breakup helped her mature? God knows.
