She's smart, she's beautiful, and now, she may have found her match. Emma Watson has allegedly nabbed herself a literal prince charming in the form of Prince Harry.  According to Woman's Day Australia (who can "exclusively reveal" the news), Harry heard about Watson's split from British rugby player Matthew Janney and got some mutual friends to help him woo her. He invited her to a small party among friends, because ugh, dates are just so formal.  "Harry didn't want her to feel like she was put on the spot," explained the insider. "A party also shows he's fun and not stuffy." Now, according to the same insider, the prince is "smitten." On the one hand, this is the best news ever. On the other hand, it's not really news 'til it's actually news, and this sounds preeeetty far-fetched to us. But PLEASE LET IT BE TRUE.  And the details are everything you'd expect: According to them, it all started when Harry heard Emma had split from her rugby player boyfriend, Matthew Janney, at the end of last year. He allegedly asked mutual friends to set them up and sent her an email asking her out. Reportedly, 12 other friends went along to make it a casual group date, and the two "hit it off." |

Prince Harry took to the deep, dark woods in northern England Wednesday to stand up for squirrels of the red-haired variety, producing amusing pictures in the process. The ginger prince was in Northumberland to visit the Wildlife Trust’s Red Squirrel Northern England Project.  Red squirrels, beloved in and native to Britain, are under threat from gray squirrels (or grey as the British spell it), introduced in the 19th century from…ahem, America. The grays are bigger, faster, nastier and eat more than the reds, and consequently the cuter reds are in catastrophic decline throughout the islands, according to British conservationists.  During the visit Harry was reunited with Conrad Dickinson – a patron for the Northumberland Wildlife Trust and the man who led Harry's team to the South Pole during their 2013 charity expedition. The pair, who had flown the charity's flag at their final snowy destination, shared many a joke as their enjoyed their reunion 15 months later. Harry also met local photographer Will Nicholls, who is a fervent supporter of the trust, and heard how Will has been championing red squirrel conservation through photography.  After learning about the trust and taking in the natural beauty of the area, Harry headed for his second engagement in Newcastle, on behalf of charity Armed Forces & Veterans Launchpad. The charity provides accommodation to veterans and their partners, to make the transition from military to civilian life as easy as possible.  |

The London Evening Standard claims that the prince is choosing to leave the military in order to focus on his charity work, particularly with regards to humanitarian and conservation work in Africa. Captain Harry Wales, whose time in the army included two tours of duty in Afghanistan, is expected to finish his official duties by serving several weeks with military units in Australia.  Although Kensington Palace did not comment on whether Harry is indeed leaving the army, a spokesperson said, “Prince Harry is currently focused on his work supporting the Ministry of Defence’s recovery capability program to ensure those who are wounded, injured or sick have appropriate recovery plans and the necessary support they require. “It’s a natural progression from the work he did organizing the Invictus Games. This involves working alongside case officers in London District’s personal recovery unit and visiting various recovery centers and partner agencies, such as forces charities and the NHS [National Health Service] around the country.”  The prince opened up last year in an interview with Man of the World about his tours of Afghanistan in 2007 and 2012. “To see young lads—much younger than me—wrapped in plastic and missing limbs with hundreds of tubes coming out of them was something I never prepared myself for,” he said.  Harry has already laid the ground in preparation for several years dedicated to charity work. In 2013, he was part of a team of injured servicemen and women that made an expedition to the South Pole in association with Walking With the Wounded. He also recently joined Sentebale’s Feel No Shame campaign in support of children in Lesotho who have HIV. |

 Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Prince Charles and Prince Harry will represent the royal family at the centenary Anzac dawn service in Gallipoli. But Prince William, whose wife, Kate, is expecting the couple’s second child in mid to late-April, will remain in London. “The Prince of Wales accompanied by Prince Harry will attend services in Turkey to commemorate the centenary of the Gallipoli campaign and Anzac Day on the 24th and 25th of April,” the palace said in a short statement on Friday. While the full program hasn’t been announced, it is understood the princes will attend the joint Anzac dawn service on April 25 before paying their respects at the Australian memorial at Lone Pine.  They’ll also attend the New Zealand-led commemorative service at Chunuk Bair. On the previous day, Prince Charles and his son are expected to attend a British-led service at Helles on the Gallipoli peninsula and also a separate international service. British media last week reported that Prince Harry will spend several weeks based in Australia in the next few months before travelling to Turkey with his father. Harry will reportedly be seconded to work with the Australian defence force before quitting the British military altogether later this year.  There had been some speculation that Prince William would join his father and brother at Anzac Cove. However William's second child is reportedly due mid to late-April, so an overseas trip was unlikely to be on the cards. According to the palace, the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke of Cambridge will attend a wreath-laying ceremony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London on April 25. |

Cressida Bonas has long been a fixture in London's social circuit, but it was only when she dated Prince Harry that she was thrust into the international spotlight. You might think that the 26-year-old dancer/actress enjoyed the exposure that came with romancing the world's most eligible bachelor, she insists this is not the case. In fact, Cressy tells Miss Vogue's April issue that despite what we might think, she's actually extremely shy. "I don't really understand it; in real life I'm often so shy–paralyzingly so," she says. "But when I'm performing, it's totally different. I feel free." (The full interview with Cressida and the rest of Sean Thomas' shoot with the star can be found in the April Issue of Miss Vogue, which comes with the April issue of British Vogue on sale Thursday.)  Later this year, Harry's former flame will make her big screen debut in Tulip Fever alongside Judi Dench and Cara Delevingne. Per London's Evening Standard, producer Harvey Weinstein said Cressy was "fantastic" in the film, but the actress herself very modestly downplays the significance of her role, saying, "It's a small part." The rising star, who shied away from media attention when she dated Harry from 2012 to 2014, doesn't think that being an actress means she should expect her non-work activities to get turned in to tabloid fodder. "It's completely different," said Cressy, who recently starred in a play called There's a Monster in the Lake. "It is my trade and what I have studied. It's not my personal life." She reiterated her passion for the craft, telling the Standard, "I just love being in the arts...I have always loved creating and entertaining. It started with music, singing. I grew up in a household filled with music—not pop but old-school stuff, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong."  |
