Prince Harry has shown he's serious about girlfriend
Cressida Bonas by hugging her on a Swiss ski slope in front of
the world's paparazzi.
Top-selling British tabloid The Sun told readers: "Harry is
like a dog with a Bonas".
Photographs of the 28-year-old prince
hugging the 24-year-old model and dance student graced the
front page of every tabloid in England on Thursday.
The Daily Star labelled him "Flirty Harry".
The Daily Express's royal correspondent said Prince Harry had
declared his love for Bonas "in an unprecedented public
display of affection".
It would inevitably evoke memories of the first pictures of
Prince William and Kate Middleton skiing together in
Switzerland, the royal watcher wrote.
It's the first time Prince Harry has been spotted in such an
embrace since splitting with former flame Chelsy Davy in
2010.
Prince Harry was first linked with Bonas in mid-2012.
But in August it was reported she'd dumped the third-in-line
to the royal throne following his nude antics in Las Vegas.
Some suggested she felt humiliated following the release of
naked pictures of Prince Harry partying with other women in
Sin City.
Wednesday's ski-slope hug followed a more private display of
affection at an up-market restaurant in the Swiss ski resort
of Verbier.
"Cressida climbed on to Harry's knee," a fellow diner told
The Sun.
"He started softly rubbing her hair then they began kissing.
"It was quite passionate - much more than a peck on the
lips."
Prince Harry returned to Britain in late January after a
20-week deployment in Afghanistan in which he acknowledged
he'd targeted Taliban fighters from the cockpit of his Apache
attack helicopter.
