Prince Harry and his girlfriend of about two years, Cressida Bonas, have split and while the royal is in Memphis, Tennessee this week for a friend’s wedding, Bonas is focusing on herself.
Bonas reportedly got a compassionate leave from work as she deals with the aftermath of the break-up. She was working for a marketing firm in London.
“Cressida can’t stand the fact that everywhere she goes, someone takes a picture of her on their smartphone especially when she is feeling down,” an insider told Vanity Fair’s Royal Watch. “She has been told it’s O.K. for her to take some time off work.”
That type of attention is said to be the exact reason for the break-up. Bonas, even though she comes from a prominent family, isn’t used to the unwavering public attention.
“We do worry that Cressida doesn’t have a thick-enough skin to be a royal girlfriend,” a source recently said.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry was spotted partying in Miami this week ahead of the weekend wedding, which his brother the Duke of Cambridge will also attend.
