I have my doubts that she takes her career very seriously.
Chelsy is always flying off here or there, and spends a lot of time at society events.
I think a society wife is exactly what she intends to be.

I try not to talk about Cressida because I don't know much about her. I know the media have tried to sum her up for they're readers but there's obviously more to her that Harry knows.

I guess at some point Harry will let everyone know what's going on. Or he will be seen with someone else. I think he should be given the time and space to do what he want. The media is taking it upon themselves to look for his future bride.

I just like seeing Chelsy again. From the pictures, she seems like a nice girl and good friend to Harry and the rest of the young royals.

Once Harry has found the person that loves him and accept the life that comes with being with him, he will be alright. I think it's just up to the media and royal watchers to relax and give the young lady a chance.

Samething I used to stress about Catherine.

Cressida, or whoever marries Harry, should thoroughly study the life and work of the late Duchess of Gloucester and see as much footage of her. In my opinion she is the most perfect role model for the wife of a spare, an also an example for how active and supportive those women can be, yet maintaining a completely low profile, never taking away attention from the "star" couple..

I have to agree with you too.

I just need to make an observation. I have, as your average royal stalker, been looking at the various images from all sorts of suppliers as well as limited footage of this wedding event.

I find that Henry has taken care NOT to be photographed with either Chelsy or Cressida. I find that William was happy to be photographed with Chelsy but was not photographed with Cressida.

If Cressida has any issues or indeed is bothered by any of the media coverage of Chelsy with all the Chelsy/Henry relationship supporters, Henry could have very subtly put that to rest by being photographed with or near Cressida. But no...NADA!

I know that this does not mean much but it means something. These boys know what being photographed with someone means and they have moved accordingly IMO. Henry chose not to be near either sending a NOTHING message which allows us to continue as we were. William on the other hand, places himself next to Chelsy whilst the cameras are going when the bride and groom leave the church. He is joking with her she laughs back and she looks like she couldn't care less. He could have stood elsewhere and joked with her before or later when the paps weren't around.

They could have put a stop to the Chelsy and Henry discussion and did not do so. Could be play or it could be that the story is not over.

Cressida sticks to the Henry's cousins as Chelsy did when she was going out with Henry, so I think she makes a statement but he does not make one back.

It's all left open again unless Chelsy makes a move to leave. The way I see all this, from images (my profession), it is her move that decides the future.

And that's my rant for the day.

I'm sorry but your analysis could simple come down to the fact that Chelsy was Maid of Honour and William and Henry were ushers both big parts of the wedding party and more than likely going to be photographed on the way in and out of the church. Where they chose to stand (near Chelsy or not) I imagine had little thought other than "where can I fit in?" Henry wouldn't have posed for photographs with Cressida, that's not their style and there was no opportunity to be photographed elsewhere. Cressida would have gone straight into the church and took her seat and left when the service was over.

Chelsy is currently working? in Istanbul, if that's not leaving I don't know what is.

Lumutqueen, you may be right or not but Chelsy going back to Istanbul does the trick for me. It's over if she does so.

Yeah I don't think it means anything about William being photographed with Chelsey...they were part of the wedding party it would be weird if they weren't photographed together.

I don't think it means anything about Harry not being photographed with either....I wouldn't of expected it. He's not part of the party...he's not with Chelsey and if he is with Cressidia he's not going to put the focus at someone elses wedding onto himself (he knows the media would go nuts)...they are not officially a couple (yet) if they are dating. William and Kate used to do the same thing IIRC.

I just think if they are a couple, lets give them time and space and, at some point, they'll let everyone know where things stand.

In meantime, I think the media should get off their backs because I already see them really gearing up to assassinate her character and that will do nothing but turn readers and even royal watchers against her.

I agree with what you've said about Harry and the lack of pictures, I think he is kind of playing it safe by not having any pictures taken with either of the girls. If he takes a picture with Chelsy it is going to fuel the belief that they might end up together after all, and if he takes a picture with Cressida it confirms the relationship, which British royals don't really do prior to the engagement.

I think you might be reading into the pictures of William and Chelsy too much though. That they're smiling together and what not just means that they're still able to be friends (or are good actors, which I doubt anyone would say of William). Them being photographed together in general just makes sense as they're both in the bridal party in similar positions - she's the maid of honour, he's the best man (or one of them).

I think Harry and Chelsy are a thing of the past, while Harry and Cressida are a thing of the present. It's to be seen whether or not Cressida is in Harry's future, or if he'll end up with someone else.

To me it Looks, like neither of the Girls will be the future.....
I think, the Observation from AfricanAussie is correct.... Harry expilcitely avoinded being pictured with ANY of the 2 Girls.
If - and I say IF - the relationship with Cressida (still) would have been so hot like it was in the Winter Holidays, then he would have given a sign "towards her" for the public.... just to avoid discussions on another round of Chelsy rumors.
So I think, this is over or at least cooled down.
But - my opinion only....

Why would he have given a 'sign' to shut up the newspapers he loathes? The public (other than AfricanAussie don't really care about who Henry dates until he puts a ring on a girls finger. Do people expect a holding hands kissing picture? Henry knows the attention this wedding is getting and making a fuss with Cressida is just going to worsen the day.

Hey! He didn't seem to care about that on the skying holiday now did he? But I grant you it would have been inappropriate at his friend's wedding. Still he could have been close by, but no...far, far away he was. I have read that he was at the end of the "exit procession". Considering he was one of the ushers, I think that was deliberate.

Give me a minute, I will go look for it...

Haven't found it yet but here is a story that gives you a gist of what I am saying:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...r-heiress.html

Give me another minute...

Aaaah, go it! View this coverage and stop at 0.58 where it mentions Henry's exit geographical position at the wedding:

Maybe that was because he was avoiding Chelsey ... and hanging back to be near Cressida .... jk.

Cressida had already made her exit. I think he was avoiding both!

Sorry African Aussie but would love to read the source because according to Richard Palmer, royal reporter of the Express, this relationship is definitely still on.

Richard Palmer ‏@RoyalReporter 22 Jun
Whether Harry and Cressie brave the photographers together today, I'm told they're both still serious, despite reports to the contrary.

So what is your source and when did they say it.

Chelsy was in the bridal party so most likely she and Harry bumped into each other. They seems like very good friends and even greeted each other warmly at a charity Christmas Carol I think two years ago.

I think he was trying to keep the focus on the wedding and not what the media really wanted...a picture of the couple together.

Not saying the relationship is not on, just saying that I think he avoided being photographed with either of them. Although I understand why he would not want to be photographed with Chelsy, I certainly don't get why he made sure he was not in the same frame as his reported girlfriend.

Richard says Cressie and Henry braved the photographers TOGETHER, really? Where are the photos of them TOGETHER?

The video link above is my source. You think they were lying? I mean, they were there filming...Wish there had been an arial shot to decidedly prove it!
