Prince Harry shows off new model girlfriend

LONDON: People magazine has reported that British royal Prince Harry has gone public with his new model girlfriend, Cressida Bonas.

He made a public appearance with her during a romantic skiing holiday in Switzerland.

The young prince, who was voted the world’s most eligible bachelor last month, was photographed embracing blonde beauty Cressida Bonas on the slopes at a resort in Verbier on Wednesday.

Cressida is the daughter of Lady Mary Gaye Curzon, a British “It” girl from the 1960s and the heir to the Curzon banking fortune.

Lady Curzon has five children with four different men, all of whom she is divorced from.

Harry is currently enjoying a winter vacation with Bonas, as well as his uncle Prince Andrew and cousins Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

He sparked rumours of a blossoming new romance with Bonas last year when they were spotted partying in London together.

“They

( Prince Harry and Cressida) are defi nitely dating, but it is not serious,” a mutual friend of the pair told E! Online.

“They have known each other a while, but only recently has it turned into more than friendship. They are not exclusive though, just having fun.”

It’s the fi rst time Prince Harry has been spotted publicly embracing a girlfriend since splitting with Zimbabwe-born Chelsy Davy in 2010.

Prince Harry was fi rst linked with Bonas in mid-2012.

But in August it was reported she’d dumped him following his nude antics in Las Vegas.

Some suggested she felt humiliated following the release of naked pictures of Prince Harry partying with other women.

Wednesday’s ski- slope hug followed a more private display of affection at an up-market restaurant in the Swiss ski resort of Verbier.

“Cressida climbed on to Harry’s knee,” a fellow diner said. “He started softly rubbing her hair then they began kissing. It was quite passionate — much more than a peck on the lips.”
