Chez Harry? No, Cressida sets up home in Shey Boo * *

What she and her chums call Shepherd’s Bush

PRINCE HARRY’S girlfriend Cressida Bonas has found herself a new pad not too far from Kensington Palace.

Rather than moving in with her beau just yet, Cressida is renting a flat with a girl pal. But even Cress, 25, can’t afford a place in Harry’s ultra-pricey stomping ground.

Instead she has headed for scruffier Shepherd’s Bush – or ‘Shey Boo’ as she likes to call it. It’s only two Tube stops from Harry, but the multi-cultural area is known for its bustling old-fashioned market and array of halal butcher shops rather than smart stores.

‘Cress loves the area and likes to go to the Havelock Tavern, which is the actress Carey Mulligan’s local,’ says a pal.

‘She and her friend Daisy have been hunting for somewhere nice and cheap but also close to Kensington Palace. Kensington is far too expensive, so she went for the closest area that was affordable. It’s just two Tube stops from Notting Hill Gate which is the station she uses when she goes to see Harry. She has no intention of living with Harry just yet, despite what people have been saying.’ Although the relationship between Cressida, left, and Harry, 29, is still a long way off becoming formal, her mother Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon has been strengthening her bonds with the Royal Family. The former socialite attended last week’s memorial service for broadcaster Sir David Frost at Westminster Abbey, which was attended by Prince Charles and Camilla.

Mary-Gaye, 66, has also met the Duchess o f C a m b r i d g e ’s mother Carole. In 2012, she was invited aboard The Elizabethan, the paddlesteamer that carried VIPs along the Thames for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee pageant.
