In good news for fans of fantastical pipe dreams, helicopter pilot and Nazi costume enthusiast Prince Harry has allegedly split from his long-term girlfriend, Cressida Bonas.

Despite her winningly posh name, our source (People magazine) has claimed that the 24-year-old was “too needy” for the 29-year-old Prince. Citing their own no-doubt-reliable source, People went on to report that the break-up was amicable.

Bonas (‘Cressy’ to her friends) works in marketing, and is apparently happy to forgo a life of absurd privilege in order to ‘concentrate on her career’. Best wishes, Cressy.

The split comes as something of a surprise, as it had appeared that Bonas was being groomed for a greater public role, having attended her first official event only a month ago. The couple were introduced by Princess Eugenie, and had been dating for almost two years.

As well as carrying a noted non-resemblance to his brother William and father Charles, Harry is the fourth in line to the British throne, and I hereby predict that monarchists all over the country will be clutching their pearls and polishing their sceptres tonight.
