Prince Harry, Prince William’s younger brother, and Cressida Bonas' relationship has come to an end, according to reports, with the latest claims that the couple fell out over Guy Pelly's wedding this week.

The couple has been dating for two years but are said to have now gone their separate ways.
The fallout is said to have been sparked by the upcoming wedding of Harry's close friend, Guy Pelly, this weekend in Memphis with Cressida unwilling to fork out for the airfare.
“Cressida was due to go to the wedding but she was paying for her own ticket, and she could only just afford it. She has never complained about paying her own way, though she has been hard pushed to do so," a source told the Telegraph.
“The widespread opinion that she is a wealthy heiress is complete rubbish, so it was quite a stretch to go to Guy Pelly’s wedding. Guy is not a close friend of hers so there would have been no point in going if she and Harry were splitting up.”
The 25 year-old is said to have felt pressure being on Harry's arm and while she might come from a rich background, doesn't take hand outs from her family and instead gets by on her £20,000 salary from the Soho-based marketing firm she began working for earlier this year.
The difference in wealth and freedom is said to have contributed to tension between the couple.
“The media has frequently commented on her dress style but it’s very difficult to turn up at so many occasions when you are expected to wear something different each time," the source went on.

Apparently the couple have realised things are just over: “He will miss her and I think she will miss him.
“But if it is going to end then it is better that it ends now rather than after a marriage. I am sure Cressida will be OK, but Harry may have problems. Cressida has calmed him down a lot over the last two years.”
