Cressida Bonas, Prince Harry to Spend Christmas Apart?
Cressida Bonas will not spend Christmas with Prince Harry despite reports claiming otherwise.
The British socialite, 24, will reportedly be in the company of her own family on Christmas day and not the royals. Sources claimed Bonas had received an invitation to join Harry, 29, at Queen Elizabeth II's Sandringham estate and also to take part in the traditional royal Boxing Day shoot on Dec. 26, however this is reportedly untrue.
"Cressida will be with her family for Christmas," an alleged friend of Bonas told the Telegraph U.K.

"His Royal Highness knows that it would not be appropriate for Miss Bonas to join the Royal family for Christmas until they are a married couple," the insider explained.
Bonas is the daughter of 1960s society beauty Lady Mary Gaye Curzon and her third husband, Old Harrovian businessman Jeffrey Bonas. She began dating Harry in May 2012 and they are often photographed enjoying public outings.
Harry and Bonas have been subject to engagement rumors in recent months however the dance student's brother slammed wedding reports as "ludicrous."
Jacobi Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe, who is a 30-year-old DJ, previously also expressed concern about the media scrutiny that Bonas is now subject to due to her involvement with Harry, who is fourth in line to the British throne.
"Cressida is not a tough cookie at all. She's a very sensitive, sweet girl. It's challenging, you can't deny it. It's not something that is easy for anyone dating a royal or marrying into the Family," Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe told London's Evening Standard.
"On some level it is different to any other type of fame. It's an invasion of privacy, which is hard," he continued. "There are people who court that but when you spend your life hiding from it, I think that becomes very exhausting. I think it's a very difficult thing."
