Cressida Bonas Vs Kate Middleton: Should Harry's Girlfriend Be Taking Some Sisterly Advice?

Since Prince Harry has been seen out and about with Cressida Bonas a lot more lately, everybody is wondering when exactly he’s going to make her a princess. She’s already got a key to Kensington Palace so it just seems right that wedding bells might be round the corner. But if Cressida does become the world’s new princess, just how will she compare to the current Duchess, Kate Middleton?

There certainly doesn't seem to be any rivalry between these two royal loves, indeed Kate’s been reported to be advising Cressida on everything from her love life to her style. If this is true then maybe 25 year old Cressida might want to have a thing before taking notes. Although, since her marriage to Prince William, Kate has become some what of a fashion icon, a lot of this is due more to her name than her look. Whilst Kate might like to keep things conservative in the wardrobe department, Cressy (yes thats her nickname) seems to like to take a few more fashion risks. Most notably she’s been known to rock a scrunchie, a particular hair accessory that might irk Carrie Bradshaw, but that seems to be gaining fans among the young, rich crowd. Recently she’s also sported some sequin converse in keeping with her laid back style.

Actually whilst Kate was once applauded for her ‘common’ roots, it turns out the super posh Cressida is actually a lot more accessible. Sure she has an upper class pedigree, she’s the youngest daughter of Sixties model and Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon and entrepreneur Jeffrey Bonas. But looking at pictures of Cressida hanging out with her friends and attending festivals, she just doesn't seem to care. Maybe its because unlike the social climbing Middletons, Cressida didn't have to create a 'worthy' image for the public.

Luckily for Cressida, it also helps that the prince she managed to bag is the more laid back, fun one, without all the heir to the throne pressures This means the two have had a little more space to have fun together and let their hair down then Kate and William. Indeed when reading about Harry’s reported future wife, the image of a fun loving happy go lucky girl is one which is being repeatedly sold by the media.

In Tatler she was described as being a Sean Penn fangirl, a hater of ‘Dirty Dancing’ (credit is definitely due for that one) and a lover of the West Wing. What’s also served to endear us to Cressida and Harry’s relationship is that it seems a lot more natural than William and Kate's. The stories of how Kate managed to catch her prince aren't so much the work of fairytales, rather careful parental planning. Cressida, instead met Harry through her best friend Princess Eugenie and the relationship seems to have happened organically.

If the team at Buckingham Palace are smart, when Cressida finally gets announced as the next Mrs Windsor they’ll leave her exactly how she is. With her boho style and fun loving attitude, Cressida Bonas might just be the one to drag the royal family into the 21st century. After isn’t a princess who might just have converse on under her ball gown what we’ve all always wanted?
