The 24-year-old wanted to become a professional dancer, but has reportedly given up on her dream - telling him she wants to "earn her own way" Prince Harry's girlfriend Cressida Bonas has reportedly taken a £20,000 marketing job - and told him she wants to "earn her own way." The 24-year-old wanted to become a professional dancer, but has given that up to work in theatre marketing, according to the Sun. Her decision comes as the Prince, 29, adjusts to a change in his own work after giving up life as an Army attack helicopter pilot for a desk job. The fourth in line to the throne, who did two tours in Afghanistan, will have to plan ceremonial parades such as Trooping the Colour and Remembrance Sunday plus coordinating official state visits from foreign dignitaries. Her desire to find her own work also echoes that of Harry's mum Princess Diana, who worked as a dance instructor and a nanny before marrying Prince Charles in 1981. A Royal source told the Sun that Ms Bonas is "fiercely independent and doesn't want anything through her connection with Harry. "She said she knew that if she was ever given major roles she would always wonder whether she had earned it ot whether it was given to her because of her status."

Speaking to around 12,000 students and teachers from more than 400 schools at We Day, held at Wembley Arena, Prince Harry apologises for not being Harry Styles before saying he thinks it is "the coolest thing in the world" to help others. "For those of you expecting Harry Styles, I apologise and, no, I'm no going to sing," he said. "I feel extremely privileged, and incredibly nervous, to be standing here in front of you today at the first WE day to be held in the UK. Free The Children is a fantastic organisation, founded on an inspiring principal – that children have the power to effect change. The star kepts things casual for her arrival at Wembley Arena "Every single one of you has done something amazing to be here today. It may not feel like it to you, but I can assure you that collectively, your actions can and will, shape the course of our future. After all, we all share this planet, so we must help and inspire others to do the same. The 24-year-old's arrival marks the first public event the pair have been to together "The world around us is changing fast. On one hand, it is a much more connected place. The internet is now part of our everyday lives, and social media has changed the way we communicate. What this means is that our generation - although I am nearly 30 - has the greatest opportunity of any in our history to effect change on a global scale." He warned: "However, our society faces some very significant challenges. Each year." Picking up a theme that will be echoed by his brother Prince William and, particularly, sister-in-law Kate this year, Harry, 29, called for early intervention with young people facing crisis. "If young people at risk can be identified early; then supported and mentored by someone who has grown up in the same community, or had similar life experiences, then it is possible to avoid them going on a downward spiral," he said. "The mentors I am talking about are not super-human: they are people like you and I who are willing to spend a little time helping someone else. "

Soon after Cressida Bonas attended her first official engagement with Prince Harry, shadowy ‘royal sources’ were quick to dampen expectations that it signalled an engagement announcement. However, I hear that the couple’s relationship has taken a more serious turn.‘There is a family gathering to discuss an engagement,’ claims a member of Cressida’s large extended clan. ‘The announcement will be sooner than many people think.’ One of the 25-year-old dancer’s close friends tells me: ‘Harry and Cressida will be married. It is all going ahead. It is just a matter of time.’ The daughter of aristocratic Sixties model Lady Mary Gaye Curzon and businessman Jeffrey Bonas was photographed cuddling up to Harry last month at the WE Day UK youth event at Wembley Arena, where he gave the keynote speech. While the couple have been secretive in the past, arriving separately at parties, this time they were happy to be photographed cuddling and displaying open signs of affection. The next day, she accompanied him to Twickenham to watch England play rugby. A source at Balmoral told me recently that the Prince was planning to take Cressida to the Queen’s Scottish retreat this summer. It would be her first visit and likely to involve a meeting with Her Majesty. ‘It is the talk of the estate,’ I was told. Cressida is thought to be visiting Balmoral this summer with Harry, a rite of passage for any future Royal bride. Kate holidayed there with William in 2010 and the marriage was announced a month afterwards It is rumoured that Prince Harry is planning to take Miss Bonas to Balmoral, the Queen’s Scottish retreat, this summer. It would be her first visit and would be likely to involve a meeting with the Queen. Visits to the 49,000-acre Highland estate are a rite of passage for royal brides-to-be. Kate Middleton and her parents were invited to join Prince William on a private shooting party in October 2010 – a month before their engagement announcement. It was reported last year that Miss Bonas had overcome her reservations about marrying into the Royal Family. “Cressie is going to marry Harry,” an unnamed friend told a newspaper. “Harry never stops talking about marriage and children, and she’s now got used to the idea. The wedding is likely to take place next year.”

According to reports, the 29-year-old royal and his 24-year-old ex are in 'constant touch' with one another and have even met up in recent weeks. The Mail on Sunday reported that Cressida has visited the Prince at his apartment in Kensington Palace to talk about their future, and that he wants to give their relationship another try. "They have been in constant touch since they broke up and she has now met up with him," on friend revealed. They managed to keep their relationship below the radar for close to a year—and it seems Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas have also managed to keep their latest rendezvous a secret, too. Royal Watch has been told that the prince cooked supper for his on-and-off girlfriend at Kensington Palace last week. The 29-year-old royal is not known for his culinary skills, but the prince is apparently trying every trick in the book to woo Cressida back. While he also reportedly enjoyed a night on the tiles at Chakana Club in London, where he downed shots with a pretty dancer called Paige Collins last week, Harry is said to still be smitten with Cressida. Says a source: “His friends organized a night out for him because Harry has been so miserable lately. He is not over Cressida, and if he could have his way, he would be back with her.” The Mail on Sunday reported that Cressida has visited the Prince at his apartment in Kensington Palace to talk about their future, and that he wants to give their relationship another try. "They have been in constant touch since they broke up and she has now met up with him," on friend revealed. "It’s all very amicable and no one is ruling out that they will get back together, but Cressida hasn’t made her mind up and the ball is really in her court."

Today’s morsel is that Cressida Bonas has finally commented on the whole affair. Remember Cressida? No, she was not Harry’s “most significant ex” Chelsy Davy, the one who looked extremely sad at their wedding and was said to have felt “snubbed” by it. (It’s probably hard not to feel snubbed at your ex’s televised wedding.) Cressida, with her impossibly British, Ravenclaw-esque name, was the girlfriend right before Harry met Markle in 2014; she is now working as an actress and just wants to be known for that, please. “No one likes to be labelled,” she told the Evening Standard this week. “The hurdles for me are when I’m trying to do my work and people want to talk about him. I work very hard and love what I do but it is still something I have to contend with.” When asked specifically about the Sussexes’ recent drama, she demurred. “I wouldn’t take a position on that because it would be a headline,” she said. “Also out of respect. It feels like a long time ago. When it comes up it feels strange because I’m in a different place.” Which the Daily Mail has promptly turned into a headline, claiming that Bonas “respects Meghan Markle.” So, sorry Cressida, we support you, your acting, and your podcast, but this topic does not appear to be going away anytime soon.
