The 26-year-old stars in Mulberry's spring and summer campaign alongside Pride actor Freddie Fox and shows off her serious dance moves. Prince Harry's former flame is, after all, a professionally trained dancer who studied at the Trinity Laban Dance Conservatoire in London. The bubbly blonde dons the brand's Buttercup dress—you know, the one she wore not once, but twice during Oscars week in Los Angeles—while prancing about in an abandoned court house and English country garden.  The brand-new short named From England With Love was directed by Ivana Bobic and choreographed by her pal and former Rambert dance Company dancer, Martin Joyce. Bobic said in a statement shortly after the release that filming "was so much fun" with Cressida, adding that "a lot of it was improvised because the music just makes you want to dance naturally."  The director added, "Cressida is such a natural on camera, and I always like to leave a little room for improvisation with any project." The film is the first of three for the fashion house's campaign and was shot in Clerkenwell. After Mulberry announced that the beautiful blonde was the face of the brand, they revealed that her dancing skills was one of the main reasons they originally signed her on. "Mulberry saw Cressida's final dance video from studying at Leeds University and were charmed by her and her movement which inspired the concept," a rep for Mulberry said.  |

The fourth in line to the British throne has undertaken two operational tours in Afghanistan, became a qualified Apache aircraft commander and spearheaded last fall's Invictus Games for wounded soldiers during his army career. "After a decade of service, moving on from the Army has been a really tough decision," the 30-year-old said in a statement released on Tuesday by Kensington Palace. "I consider myself incredibly lucky to have had the chance to do some very challenging jobs and have met many fantastic people in the process. From learning the hard way to stay onside with my Color Sergeant at Sandhurst, to the incredible people I served with during two tours in Afghanistan -- the experiences I have had over the last 10 years will stay with me for the rest of my life. For that I will always be hugely grateful.  "Inevitably most good things come to an end and I am at a crossroads in my military career," he continued. "Luckily for me, I will continue to wear the uniform and mix with fellow servicemen and women for the rest of my life, helping where I can, and making sure the next few Invictus Games are as amazing as the last." The prince, who became Capt. Wales during his service, said he's excited about the possibilities the future holds. "So while I am finishing one part of my life, I am getting straight into a new chapter. I am really looking forward to it," he said.  His highness will take on more royal duties at home and overseas on behalf of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and the royal family. He'll also continue his charitable work alongside his older brother, Prince William, and Wills' wife, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. |

Captain Wales, an air controller and Apache gunship helicopter pilot for the past 10 years, has been listed to replace Field Marshal the Lord Guthrie of Craigiebank when he retires as Colonel of the Life Guards. The move is expected within 18 months but has to be officially sanctioned by the Queen on the recommendation of the Army Board. He already boasts a military pedigree in the Household Cavalry and will be one of a clutch of Royal Colonels in the Honour Guard for the Monarch at the Trooping the Colour ceremony.  Last night a Household Cavalry Colonel told the Sunday Express the 30-year-old was listed for the post and, unless he took the unusual decision to decline, the position would be confirmed by the Queen “probably next year”. “It is a ceremonial position in which he will represent the Monarch,” said the source, who added that the paperwork for him to represent the Life Guards had been passed through the regiment and sent to Buckingham Palace. Prince Harry will take the salute at regimental anniversaries and represent the unit at ceremonial events. Prince William, who had a short Army career before his RAF helicopter role, became Colonel of the Irish Guards three years ago. The Queen heads several regiments, while Prince Charles is Colonel of more than six units along with the Earl of Wessex. The Princess Royal, Duchess of Cornwall and Countess of Wessex also head infantry battalions.  “It’s good to have someone who has actually been part of a regiment and knows what it is all about,” said author Penny Junor, who wrote Prince Harry: Soldier, Brother, Son. “The point is that Harry’s real interest wasn’t climbing up the promotion poll. It was getting down and dirty in a ditch. He liked the action man stuff.” |

Kate Middleton has officially retreated into the privacy of the palace as she prepares for the birth of Royal Baby #2, which means only one thing: It's time for some prime Prince Harry gossip.  According to the Daily Mail, William's little bro was spotted watching a play on Wednesday night in London. But it wasn't just any old theatre production — it was Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, starring none other than Harry's ex-girlfriend, CRESSIDA BONAS. !!!!. Despite having reportedly split from the scrunchie-loving socialite last spring after two years of dating, the Prince was all smiles throughout the show, and was "seen in hysterics" with his gang of guy friends during the funnier bits.  That's not to say that he and Cress, 26, are back together: She was spotted holding hands with another dude (coincidentally also named Harry) on Valentine's Day. Even so, it's nice to know there's no awkwardness between the former lovahs — and that Harry's into supporting her burgeoning career as an actress. |

Prince Harry is ready to embark on one of the final chapters of his ten-year military career. On Monday, Harry – known as Captain Harry Wales in the British Army – will begin a month-long secondment in the Australian Army. The 31-year-old has said he is "tremendously looking forward" to spending time Down Under, during which he "will work and live alongside colleagues in the Australian Army in a number of regiments in Sydney, Darwin and Perth".  In a statement, the ADF – Australian Defence Force – said it was aiming to provide Harry with "an authentic military experience in the Australian army that builds on his previous experience with coalition forces and complements his work with wounded, injured and ill service personnel."  It continued, "He is expected to take part in a range of unit-based activities and training exercises. These will include urban training exercises, regional bush patrols, flight simulation and aviation activities, joint fire exercises and Indigenous engagements activities. Captain Wales will also take part in routine activities, such as physical training, first aid training and pack marches.  "Additionally, he will have the opportunity to meet wounded, injured and ill service personnel during his time in Australia, which will complement his advocacy work in this area in the UK." ‘Wounded warriors’ hold a special interest for Harry, who has publicly supported a number of charities including Help for Heroes, ABF the Soldiers' Charity and Walking with the Wounded – in Autumn he will support that latter by joining five wounded service personnel for part of their 1,000-mile trek around Britain. In March 2014, he launched the Invictus Games for injured members of the armed forces. |
