Here are some photos of Prince Harry from yesterday in London. He was opening up the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey. As you can see, Harry was decked out in a lovely uniform and he was quiet and respectful in the presence of so many military families. Harry is so lovely. I love that he keeps doing all of this work for veterans and soldiers. He’s really become synonymous with military and veteran causes in Great Britain.
But… while I enjoy seeing photos of Harry in his regalia, I enjoy gossiping about his love life even more. Last month, there were significant rumors that Harry and Cressida Bonas were back on after a multi-month “break.” Cressida and Harry were seen at the movies together, and they were reportedly back “on” or close to it. Unfortunately, no one really followed up on those rumors – I haven’t heard much about Cressida and Harry in weeks! Last week’s Life & Style claimed that they were back together for real and that Cressida was pleased that Harry was so committed. But now this week’s Star Magazine says that it’s OVER.
The Palace needs its own reality show. After rekindling his romance with Cressida Bonas in September following a seven-month break, Prince Harry is suddnly back on the market. Star can reveal that Cressida broke things off with Harry after he kissed a mystery woman during a night out at Zefi bar in London on October 19.
“Harry still acts like a teenager,” admits a friend. “When he’s drinking, he’ll stick his tongue down the throat of any girl who takes his fancy.”
After word of his wild night out got back to Cressida, she decided that was the last straw. “She was angry with herself for trusting Harry again… he said he was sorry and that it would never happen again, but the damage was done. She thinks he’ll never change.”
[From Star Magazine, print edition]
It could be. I think if Cressida and Harry were really and truly back on, we would be getting more pushy stories from Team Cressy about how Harry wants to marry her but she’s just too much of a free spirit, la de da. Maybe Cressida’s game wore thin the second time around. Or maybe Harry and Cressy really never got back together, they just did some quickie breakup hookups or something like that.
Oh, last week The Daily Mail had this interesting little tidbit – Cressida was apparently getting advice from her socialite mom, Lady Mary Gaye, about how to “win Harry back.” Apparently, Lady Mary wants to marry one of her daughters off to a prince, come hell or high water.

If cheating bothers her, then she isn’t cut out for this life. I mean, Kate supposedly just did not care, even when that pic of William grabbing that random girl’s boobs was published.
If it has a penis, it will cheat! I’ve yet to meet one that has been faithful…but for as long as there is life, there is hope!!! 🙂
Everybody is cracking me up this morning. Thank you so very much. If it has a penis, it will cheat. OMG, so funny, especially “it!”
I had an IT tell me how difficult it was to date women…I suggested he try dating men – he didn’t like the idea! LOL
Wait, what?
“When he’s drinking, he’ll stick his tongue down the throat of any girl who takes his fancy.”
This ^^ cracked me up.
*makes note to buy Harry a drink or two*
Right? Maybe I’ll have a chance with Drunk Harry. I’ll be in London in a couple weeks, will commence Operation Get Harry Drunk
Anxiously awaiting Sixer’s arrival…
I love Cressida. She is so anti-any of the other royals or royals to be. Get it out of your system Ginger Rockstar, then beg for mercy and marry sweet Cressida. Word of caution though Missy Cressida, whomever chose that dress for you is trying to sabotage you…..choose carefully how you dress in the future please.
‘Lovely uniform’…? Not great wording for military honours there.
Yawwwwwn.
Someone tweeted seeing Cress driving into ,through the Palace gates a few days ago.
I don’t think anyone really know whats happening with them, least of all Star or Life & Style.
•Someonestolemyname•
I agree. The press routinely makes crap up about the Royals and the recent stuff feels very manufacturered. *yawn*
Interesting tweet though.
The coverage about QEII, KP (Belgium), William, Harry, Anne and Tim was way more fascinating yesterday.
Ugh. These two are like the Martin Lawrence of the UK. Are they or aren’t they?!
I want a front-ruffled jacket like his for winter.
I can’t believe we used to think William was the hot one.
William showed signs of fading early on as his twenties hit.
For some reason I always peferred Harry, even though William had those Golden Prince looks when younger.
yes, William was a pretty golden Prince. Harry always had this wild boy look. Not bad boy, but wild and funny. That is way more interesting and shows character.
And Harry looks better with age. Means he will look good for the rest of his life. William had just 10 good years in the past.
I completely agree! I turned to liking Harry over William 4-5 years ago now. 🙂
Please excuse me for going somewhat off topic, but all the BRF posts lately mention William either being a complete moron towards his wife, or cheating on her with someone named Jecca. Now he’s grabbing a random woman’s breasts? Could one of our Anglo-savvy posters please elaborate for me on what exactly is going on with William? He was touted for years as the “good” son, the one who was trying to live up to his mother’s expectations – now, he’s described as spoiled, difficult, lazy, and both unwilling and unsuited to rule. Also, his marriage has apparently devolved into one of convenience; all this time I thought he and Kate were truly happy. Would someone please take a moment and give me some details on how and when all this transpired?
Yes, someone please straighten this weirdness out!
Others will take up this opportunity, but I will briefly abbreviate: The mainstream press is obliged to report positive stories on the heir to the throne, especially because he is Diana’s son, William has always benefited from this positive spin. The reality comes out in bits and pieces, and reading between the lines. Ex. William and Kate never took up full time royal duties because William was so busy working and Kate so busy keeping house. Yet, William nearly lost his pilot’s license because he did not have enough flight hours, and their household staff was reported to have increased into the double digits. As a couple, they blatantly lie to the public and get caught, time and time again. Ex. 2. Will & Kate were supposed to host the Paralympics in London in summer 2012. They backed out at the last minute, claiming that William needed to get back to work. Harry hosted alone. That very week, the two of them were caught nude sunbathing, smoking and drinking in the South of France on vacation.
Just a few examples to highlight what completely awful people they truly are.
•ephiphany•
The ‘William is an angel whilst Harry is the devil’ reporting is due to the fact that direct heirs (and heiresses) often need a ‘wild child’ to highlight their goodness. It’s a popular press move to paint the heir/heiress in the best light possible and cover up any flaws.
By all reports both boys were equally wild and partied a lot in their late teens and early 20s. But Harry, would often be the focus of misleading press coverage, as the press would take a shot of Harry drunk after a night out and use the same series of shots for three weeks to cement his party boy image. The ‘hands on boobs’ shot was William screwing around in a bar. Both boys had the ‘cheater’ label thrown at them during this time period (whether both, one, or none actually cheated is debatable).
The press and the various press offices also tries to keep a lid on the fact that William does not want to be king. At all. This has been known since he was a child and most hoped he’d outgrow it but William’s temperament, as Diana sometimes commented, wasn’t and isn’t really suited for ‘the top spot’.
I think William and Kate have their issues like any married couple but don’t necessarily buy the ‘convenience’ crap. William HATES being in the spotlight so he’s not very demonstrative in public. Often in clandestine shots, they are a lot more affectionate.
As for William’s recent stuff I attribute a lot to bad PR. I dislike the press offices’ subversions with William (and now Kate) and think they should be way more honest with the public. And introduce a law that would allow anyone in line to quietly and legally remove him/her self (and line) from the line of sucession. William wants to be a normal person — so let him.
It’s been swept under the rug now that they are married, but William would regularly cheat on Kate while they were dating. She would put up with it, until he embarassed her rather publicly (the groping boobs incident). She put up a stink. He dumped her by phone while she was “at work” at Jigsaw. She left work that day a mess and never returned. Both Kate & William partied hard (and I would say it’s showing now in both of them), stumbling out of clubs drunk, but it’s Harry’s foibles that are wildly reported. And that’s just to prop the heir up as the golden child, when he’s anything but that.
So, is William this surly, ill-tempered pill because he’s being forced to do a host of things his doesn’t want – take the throne, marry when it’s deemed appropriate – or is he a miserable person under any circumstances? And I never heard before that Diana considered him unsuitable for the “top job” – can you please elaborate?
Thanks!
•ephiphany•
My opinion? He’s at his worst (like most of us) when he’s forced or cornered into doing stuff. When he’s doing something he loves, he’s totally different. He has been described as both a pickle or a joy — and I think it all depends on how he feels about the idea/project/task.
William is described as an introvert that hates being in the spotlight. Also, intellectual and moody (or sensitive). He, from all reports, loves being in control of his life which is in direct conflict with a hereditary role he is supposed to assume.
The reasons Diana thought Harry would be better as King was because Harry, unlike William or Charles, is able to brush things off and go with the flow. Harry doesn’t get his undies in a bundle over everything and can give up control over certain aspects of his life. Charles and William both struggle with that. ‘The top spot’ is extremely limiting and it’s not for everyone.
BTW I don’t dislike Charles or William. I think both are in situations that don’t highlight their strengths. Charles eventually made peace with it but so far, William hasn’t.
William is NOT an intellectual. He was a middling to below average student his entire academic life.
•Juliette•
Sorry, I’m not saying he is an intellectual– he’s just described as an intellectual. I think they meant he overanalyses stuff — kinda like Charles does. I don’t think William’s Mensa material but he isn’t stupid either. On the other hand, I also don’t buy that Harry or Diana are/were not that bright. They (again) use that to talk-up Charles and William.
Ladyslippers: i’m afraid I have to agree with Juliette here. William is not an intellectual. He’s never demonstrated any interests that hinted at intellectual pursuits of any kind.
I also doubt he is introverted since he never socialises outside his own circle. Seriously, at least Harry via army has learnt to get on with all sorts, temperaments aside, but William has the same group of friends since he was a child. Kate is possibly the only none childhood friend he made. And he clearly distrust his friends since he frequently send them out with false stories to test their loyalty levels.
By all accounts he is arrogant and boorish and that hasn’t changed with age.
When you add the qualities he inherited from Charles and Diana eg Moodiness, dithering self pity, pig headedness, misdirected entitleness and it all adds up to a not so charming Prince.
The problem for Harry’s alleged lack of intelligence as far as school reports are concerned was down to dyslexia which wasn’t diagnosed until he was 17 or 18. Unlike Beatrice’s dyxlexia which was diagnosed at 12 and sent to Dyslexia centre (she’s now it’s patron) where she got the help she needed that allowed her to graduate in History and History of ideas.
The fact that Harry has turned out to be one of the best apache pilots in UK/USA points to a high intelligence or a different type of intelligence.
And we know Harry and Diana have/had emotional intelligence which can take a person very far.
•LAK•
I’m just quoting more than one book/article that describes William as an intellectual — not agreeing. I think that William only pursues what he’s interested in so that confounds issues. In my mind, not Mensa material but not stupid means I thinks he’s fairly average intellectually. My opinion of course.
Beatrice was actually diagnosed with dyslexia at 7 and Harry at 17 which impacted both their academic successes (hers as being much more successful whereas Harry had almost none and people honestly think he’s stupid — outside the circle that knows him).
As for William being an introvert? I totally think that. Charles and Diana both were too and everything you listed as examples are typical of introverts. I honestly haven’t seen anyone paint him as anything but an introvert.
And hey, look, William and Kate Middleton are currently under pressure to increase end-of-year appearances, and headed out on another vacation last week. Things looking bad for the golden couple? Throw Harry under the bus again. (Wave to JLoP!)
I’m sure they were back together and heading towards an engagement. Sure. Someone just forgot to give Harry the memo that Cressida is his one true love.
Did they ever really start dating again?
No – they went to the movies with a group of friends. They were never official.
Lady Mary Gaye should meet and have a heart to heart chat with Baria Alamuddin!! Haha!!
I don’t think she’s interested in having her daughters beard for an aging actor with a phony playboy image.
Once again, Harry takes the prize for hotness. He could just lay on my sheets and steam the wrinkles out of them with that ginger heat. Cressida….well, best wishes, dear.
I think Cressida is beautiful, but wtf is she wearing in that pic? She never looks put together. I think you can have a great bohemian style and not look like you collected your outfit out of a crumpled pile on the bathroom floor every morning.
Kaiser, if Lady Mary-Gaye had wanted one of her children to marry a prince, Isabelle could have snapped her fingers and had William at any time. I don’t get “desperate to marry a royal” from these folks.
Yeah, I get the vibe that a lot of nobilities look down on the royals.
•notasugarhere•
Agreed.
Never mind the fact that Mary-Gaye and Charles dated as well — so if she wanted an HRH she could have gotten it for herself. She too ran away when it was suggested they get more serious.
•Q•
FYI — not a vibe as it is fairly well known. Most British aristos feel WAY superior to the BRF. The Spencers artitudes are just the most well known in the press but a reflection that others feel as well.
Plus, the aristos have a ton of privelge and very few limitations– the opposite of the BRF which is why a lot of aristos have steered clear of most Royals for over a century now.
Not sure I agree Cressida’s mother could have got an HRH. Don’t forget the covered in motor oil photos. It was a different time, back then, and they were much worse than they are now. She might be aristocratic, but back then they did not want ex lovers of Charles girlfriends selling their stories to The Sun.
•bluhare•
All I’m saying is she could have made a case of it, instead, she ran. Not saying she would have been approved by Uncle Dickie but she did have a shot and she passed on it. Her daughters mirrored that same sentiment as most people will bed the royals but not marry them — that’s essentially my point. 😊
Actually you said “she could have gotten it for herself”. But I quibble.
•bluhare•
The key word in that phrase was the first ‘IF’ in my statement. 😊
Everyone is trying to make Mary-Gaye into this HRH grabbing woman and I’m trying to say she had her own shot at it. So IF she was clamouring for an HRH (as all these reports claim) — wouldn’t she have turned over heaven and earth for her own shot at it? Same with Isabella. William was reportedly quite taken with Bella so IF Mary-Gaye was clamouring for her ‘missed opportunity’ at an HRH she could have encouraged her daughter more. The point is after Mary-Gaye ran from Charles, Isabella turned William flat down, it’s unlikely that she’s reversing course with Cressida.
Hope my explanation clears up the confusion.
I am not confused, nor do I care much about Cressida Bonas’ mother. I am rebutting an opinion you posted as I believe it to be unfounded. I do not believe for one second Mary Gaye Curzon could have got an HRH for herself. Certainly not by marrying Charles, and she may have been smart enough to realize that.
•bluhare•
How is it unfounded?
Several reports list Mary-Gaye as one of the many aristos women that passed (often ran) on any future with Charles. If she was as ‘hungry’ for a title as the tabloids claim, why would a few incidents in her past keep her from that supposed goal? Other people have faced bigger barriers and overcome them.
wha kind of outfit is that? it looks like butt warts
Hope nobody in the BRF *cough*Charles*William*cough* limits Harry’s public outings just because he might be stepping on Charles’ & William’s popularity – which I think has been the case in the past and might be in the future.
•anne__000•
From everything I’ve read it’s no. The BRF needs Harry to be popular as he helps them stay in business. And Harry is his brother’s BIGGEST supporter.
Don’t care. I come for PHG in uniform!
You and me both, Reece!
The pictures on Lainey’s blog are fabulous. You know how I feel about gingers, but on those pictures alone, I sure would.
LAK, thanks for steering me over there.
And let me just say (even though he’d never do it) Harry for Sexiest Man Alive!
Blu, People decides that for themselves and the man has no say in the matter (doesn’t get to say yes or no to the title). Didn’t they name JFK, Jr. one year? Harry might yet be named SMA one of these years.
That’s one groovy military coat! Love that scallop/ruffle thing. God Harry’s a sight for sore eyes in these rigouts.
I adore Chazza’s sartorial expression too….(in spite of wanting to see him in a single-breasted jacket just once) I particularly adore the way he always has a wild flower in his buttonhole. He’s quite the dandy in his own way.
As for Miss Bonas…..I don’t approve, too much of the Cara-wannabe, imo. Stay free as long as you like Harry, the pressure’s off. (Psst….how do you feel about more mature laydees??!)
Hmmm
I wonder how the Heraldry people would feel about having to make yet another C cypher lol
