The Chinese could probably just reissue the ones they made for William's wedding since they used Harry's picture in error. All they would have to do is stick Cressidas face over Catherines.

They both appear to have moved on - she's no longer in London (she moved to Istanbul) and Harry seems to be dating someone else.

To be honest, I never understood the notion that Harry and Chelsy were each other's one true love. I just never thought they would get married.

As for Cressida and Harry, it seems like they might be in the early stages of a relationship, so we'll see if it goes the distance.

From the sounds of this thread might be best to make salt and pepper shakers. Harry the Salt can be matched with the Pepper of one's choosing.

I choose Pippa the Pepper. Imagine! Two daughters, married, and to royal dukes.

Mrs. Bennett would be so impressed.

I like that idea because I can imagine certain heads exploding at the mere thought of it.

I read an article some time ago that said Chelsy might be going to Istanbul...are you sure she actually has left London and is now there? Any reported sighings of her there or leaving London?

About 2 weeks ago, one of her friends posted a photo on Instagram that wished her luck in Istanbul. And someone on tumblr posted her new facebook profile, which is a photo of her paddle surfing. Plus her going away party was at the end of February, so it sounds like she has made her way out of London.

Thank you Soapstar.

I guess that does allow for them to finally move on, if possible. This has been a long, drawn out relationship. I think she will not allow herself to be a Camilla. At least, I hope so.

I don't see that there is any reason other than those personal to Chelsy herself that she would remain in London or go anywhere else in the world that she chooses to. I would think that after spending so much time in London over the past years, she's developed friendships and has ties to London that may last her a lifetime. Logically, when a couple break up, its the norm for them to still reside and live in the same area.

Chelsy and Harry haven't been really romantically linked for a very long time and I would imagine that even if they broke out of a committed relationship, it is very possible that they've remained friends. To imagine that Chelsy would remain in London or not depends on Harry is the stuff tabloid fodder is made out of.

I feel like if this girl knows she can't see herself in a long term relationship with him now..then she probably should break up with him and not waste his time.

(this isn't bc of the article posted...its more my opinion since they started dating)

If she can't handle it...Hopefully he finds someone who can eventually see themselves being with him despite the fact he is a prince. All these girls know who he is before they start dating him.

IF anything of the articles is based in reality, I applaud the girl for being cautious. That's the best approach she can take in my experience of life and men.

I think everyone who dates Harry (or any prince) must cautious but once she makes the decision she doesn't see herself with him in the long-term, it's better to end things, IMO. Note, I'm not saying she made this decision.
But they shouldn't have gone public if she isn't sure this can last, IMO

I have read about Cressie and how her name has been linked with Harry since last summer, just prior to The Trip Which Shall Not Be Named. I have noticed one underlying theme in all of the tabloid rags on the subject; there's a lot of detail as to what happens behind the scenes and virtually all of it is very pro-Cressie, and at times makes Harry look like a bit of a cad. It goes from "she's hard to pin down," she's "airy," to "she's Harry's girl," to "she was not that fussed about the Vegas thing," to "Harry has been writing furiously to her from Afghanistan while she remains a bit aloof," to the photos of the ski trip and how they were all over each other, to how she is putting her foot down on this partying, etc, to last week in the club about what a fabulous dancer she is, to now, how Harry is head over heals but she's going to take it slow, and then the ever so suspicious (in my mind) "she's wise beyond her years."

I tend to believe someone has in fact been feeding the press and that someone is Cressie, or sanctioned by one of her friends. I don't think she's all that into Harry, but she has no problem having her name linked to his putting her in the best light possible, as The One Who Harry Loves But She Won't Put Up With Any **** From Him. It's a bit of a modern day romance novel and all at the expense of Harry.

I tend to think Harry is perhaps not as head over heels as one might believe. Yes, I know they kissed out on the slopes, but sometimes unattached people who are young fool around a bit. What interested me was the other night in the nightclub. They arrived separately, they left separately, although apparently they kissed a bit.

So, I don't think they are a serious couple, and I think this is both from Harry's perspective as well as Cressie's. But what a feather in her cap this is to be the One Who Will Get Away.


JMHO, of course....

I tend to think Harry is having a bit of fun and I think Cressida enjoys the attention and seeing her name in the press. Maybe it will help in her future carrrer as a chorus girl or whatever one does after studying dance. Can't say I ever saw her a a potential future royal bride.

I imagine you can do a lot things studying Dance than studying History of Art and spending 5 years waiting to get married? Exactly what qualifications do you need to marry a Prince?

This reminds me of something Scottish comedian Kevin Bridges said when Catherine and William got engaged. He remarked that "she's a commoner because she's only upper middle class, I think this sets the bar for Harry to marry a proper "scumbag" like a beauty therapist from warrington".

Personally wouldn't have chosen the word "scumbag" but I understand his point. People seem to think that everyone who's around Henry, anyone who dates him is just after attention and their name in the paper.
Why do we think that? Is it because when they're photographed they happen to be smiling and screaming blue murder for having their picture taken after a night out?

I think Cressida looks like a lovely young girl, who has her head on straight and could be good for Henry.

In the Commonwealth? A sense of humor; a lot of patience; an acceptable pedigree; a family who will, in the main, keep their mouths shut; willingness to pull velvet curtains from dedicatory plaques while making nice talk; a love of strangers (old people, children and rabid fans in particular); middling OK taste in clothing; willingness to live on a budget, eschew toe sucking and avoid profligate spending; ability to take orders from the firm without grousing or pulling a glum face; fondness for travel to official functions anywhere in the Commonwealth; tendency to avoid travel to anywhere fun, warm in the winter or cool in the summer; ability to raise children under public scrutiny at all times. Must not smoke, have done drugs, have any political opinions on record, tend to gain weight or be too thin. Must have good tiara hair and a lovely warm smile. Must smile bravely when spouce acts badly, but never act badly oneself. Must avoid press except when expected on the job - then never saying anything that could be taken to have any real meaning at all.

I could go on... but, why?

I too don't buy that Henry is head over heels. I also question where this "inside" information is coming from. There have been a few of these regarding her. There appears to me to be a relatively quick response from her "insiders" to media speculation.

Interesting.
