Two public outings in three days says a lot about Prince Harry's relationship with longtime girlfriend, Cressida Bonas. The royal couple, who spent months avoiding being photographed together by the paparazzi, finally went public, with Bonas joining the prince at the WE Day UK Youth Event on Friday, and at a rugby match between England and Wales at Twickenham on Sunday.
According to Yahoo!, public appearances made by royals are carefully thought of, and the weekend activities between the prince and his lady love suggest that their relationship has been made official.
The Daily Mail also reported that the prince is planning to take Bonas to his grandmother's estate at Balmoral in the summer. A source for the Daily Mail said, "Prince Harry is expected to bring Cressida. It is the talk of the estate."
This visit is a rite of passage for a royal bride-to-be, with the Mail noting that Kate Middleton and her parents were invited to join the royal family at the estate in October 2010, a mere month before they couple announce their engagement to the public.
A source for E! News also revealed that the 29-year-old prince and his 25-year-old girlfriend have started planning their lives together. The source said, "Harry and Cressida have made a point of talking about marriage and what changes they're going to have to make to their life of late. According to friends of Cressida's, the couple has decided to try and keep their semi normal lifestyle as long as physically possible."
The source also said that Kate Middleton had been helpful to Cressida, saying that "Kate's been brilliant with Cressida and has been giving her advice. She likes her very much and has offered her tips on how to keep her normality. Kate's been there and done it and, while she knows Cressida won't be as talked about and followed like she was, she needs to get a real slant on what happens."
