Prince Harry: Relationship Rumours and Musings 2013-2014

[Osipi]

Ok.. Ok.. I usually don't take the media's word for anything usually when it comes to rumors and speculations about any kind of relationships but this one kind of has me stymied as from what I've heard, Tatler is a well established magazine and usually not one for idle gossip. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong here.

Whether or not the information is to be believed, I do think the photo of Cressida on the cover is totally gorgeous!

I agree, it's a beautiful picture of Cressida.

 

[Lee27]

all the media coverage and claims and allegations about Cressida reminds me a lot of the media coverage & pressure over Lady Diana Spencer.

And Kate.. and Fergie, and worst of all... the media's decision to make it a competition between Diana and Fergie, which they are no doubt eager to do all over again.

Pitting woman against women... how wonderful.

 

[Skippyboo]

This is the slow time for royal news so the press tends make things up. Cressinda is also going to get compared to Chelsy Davy. Remember in the early days of Kate when the press kept trying to pit her against Jecca Craig.

 

[Dman]

Oh, Yeah, I'll never forget those days.

 

[Lee27]

I can see the media doing their beat to create dissension between Kate and Cressida - middle class girl vs blue blood.

As well as the media trying to force Harry to propose. In their mind, it worked with Charles & Diana. Totally ignoring how media focus & pressure didn't work with William and Kate.

I can see the media doing their beat to create dissension between Kate and Cressida - middle class girl vs blue blood

I predict these will be some of the themes:
Brunette v. Blonde
Parents long term marriage v. 6(?) times married parents
Conservative dresser v. Boho style
Staid v. Free spirit
Responsible v. Irresponsible
Oh yes, the press will have field day comparing them.
One thing they do have in common is they both favor long straight hair.

 

[Mariel]

It might be best to never mention the four-times married mom of Cressy. Having blue blood can overcome that, is that right? It would be best to just consider Cressy as she is today, and never mention her relatives even though their scandals are interesting. I'm speaking of the RF information specialists, of course. We may assume the taboids will be vicious. Knives will be out. There will be more raw meat for the press than they have received in many years. They will have to be totally ignored.

pics of Prince Harry & Cressida Bonas leaving Sotogrande this past weekend. According to the photo agency Prince Harry flew in Friday via EasyJet & he & Cressida hide away at a friend’s *Lavish estate*. Besides attending a polo match they didn’t go out in public & then returned to London via *private jet* East News Poland photo agency - Search result: Prince Harry , page 1

 

[AdmirerUS]

It cracks me how they will not speak or stand next to one another. Pap proof behavior (well, not pap proof - cause they WERE there - but pretty useless photos).

 

[Royal_Fan_2013]

Yes, in these photos thex don't look like a couple. However, they were together in Malaga. I think they just keep their relationship private. Maybe Harry learned from his experience with Chelsy?

 

[Osipi]

Correct me if I'm wrong but prior to engagement, didn't Will and Kate also do the same thing when they were out and about and going places? I've somehow gotten the impression that this is normal for royal dating.

 

[Ish]

I believe so.

Even if they didn't in the end, it's not entirely accurate to compare William/Catherine while they were dating, or even Harry/Chelsy, to Harry/Cressida. We forget that W/C were together for 9 years before the engagement, and Harry/Chelsy were together for 6 years. Harry and Cressida are still a relatively new thing in comparison.

 

[Royal_Fan_2013]

I agree. For myself, I can' imagine dating a royal. I think it is a relative strange relationship in the beginning, if you alway have to hide your relationship.

 

[Ish]

In part this is typical of celebrity relationships as well as royal ones. It makes sense too; when you're in a newer relationship you're still figuring stuff out and don't really want the pressure of the world on you.

That said, I don't think they're hiding the relationship so much as they're not giving the press opportunities to get shots of them "together." If they were hiding it we'd never see them together at all.

 

[Lee27]

The media keeps saying the couple has dated for 18 months, yet ignores the time Harry was in Afghanistan.

I think they are tying to force an engagement. It worked with Charles & Diana.

 

[Royal_Fan_2013]

I really hope that they don't base an engagement on the pressure of the media. In my opinion, 18 month of relationship is nothing. If you really want to get to know a person, it needs more time.

Harry's relationship is so clandestine. What is she hiding from??

Keeping it secret why?? He is part of the British Royal Family.

Chelsy was so open and relaxed.

This latest one just hides in the bushes! No, the press won’t go away. If you want anonymity then go out with a 9-5 guy. The York girls lead regular lives. Harry at 29, doesn't seem in control of his life at all.

Hopefully, marriage is NOT on the cards. I don't see it standing the test of time at all! She's more schoolgirl than royal bride!

 

[Hendrik-Jan77]

I agree, it's a beautiful picture of Cressida.

Just like this one. It gives an impression how she could look like once she becomes a royal duchess. I can't wait!

Till an official engagment to a royal everybody is still a privat person and nothing more. Only because you and others are interested in them, it's not enough.

Anyway Harry is not a celebrity aka Kadashians but a royal he doesn't have to show his private life to anyone.

 

[Meadow]

Every girl Harry dates is going to get attention it's silly to think otherwise. All royals have their romantic relationships watched by the press. For years in was Charles then Andrew etc no reason to think why suddenly it's going to be different. I don't think Cressida is hiding it could be the press just aren't interested there are plenty of stories of them not being that serious and how much she doesn't want to give up her free spirit life. She got lot's of attention when she was at the same wedding but we don't see very much of her at all. Kate had the attention for years in ways it's a test. If it get's really serious then the press will really focus on her. I don't see Harry settling down for awhile yet he is having too much fun and Cressida seems a little too young.
Harry isn't a celebrity but he has been followed by the press since birth of course they are interested in who he dates and he knows it that is why we don't see them on dates etc he knows when to hide when he wants too. If he is going to choose a wife he needs to know she can handle the press and it's part of their lives it's not realistic saying he doesn't have to show his private life the more he hides the more the press poke around. Harry knows the score!

"This one?" You called her "this one?" As if she is some THING that exists only to appear in the press? Do you really think that is the singular role of the Monarchy? I'd say, judging from the totality of the Queen's work - she would be offended at how you view all she does for the country. Just my opinion.

You practically answer your own questions, Henry is a member of the BRF and from the press' reaction to both Chelsy and Catherine I can 100% understand why Cressida wants to stay away!

 

[NGalitzine]

Angieuk,
Why do you believe he is not in control of his life? Why should he be parading his supposed girlfriend around in public? Other that satisfying public curiosity what would he or Cressida gain by that?

British Royals ‏@britishroyals
Prince Harry's girlfriend Cressida Bonas signs up with publicist Stuart Watts PR... The Media Eye … (via @MediaEyeTweets)

Now why does she need a PR company??

EDIT: should have added, "if this is true?"

Because she's training to be a dancer and to get jobs she's going to use a PR company. Logical if you have money IMO.

Not a PR company - she would have an agent/manager. Someone to organise her bookings and negotiate. PR is different kettle of worms

Well to publicise her work, she needs a publicist? Makes sense to me anyway.

 

[Lee27]

She may have hired a PR firm to control the media stories about her.

I would think if it was about her career as a dancer, she would have hired an agent, not a PR firm.
