"   The pair pictured at their first public official engagement back in March Word on the street (and from various Palace sources) is that Prince Harry and his girlfriend of two years, Cressida Bonas have split. Just as we were being lured into a false sense of romantic royal security with the appearance of the couple at their first official engagement last month, and were therefore pretty much promised marriage and babies at some point in the not-too-distant future; the rug has been well and truly pulled from under our feet. Reports claim that the break-up was &amp;quot;amicable&amp;quot; and that the pair will remain &amp;quot;the best of friends&amp;quot;, but with rumours flying around that Harry is telling friends they split because Cressida was &amp;quot;too needy&amp;quot;, we&amp;#039;re not sure what to believe. But to be fair to Cressida, we&amp;#039;d be needy if our boyfriend was a military captain and fourth in line to the throne...  Other reports speculate that the separation has occured because of Cressida&amp;#039;s concerns about being so young and marrying into the Royal family. The former model works a normal job in marketing, with a normal salary, and shares a normal (ok, probably a bit nicer than normal) flat with a friend, so the prospect of being married off and becoming a potential future queen could be very daunting. The break up came (ironically) on big bro Will&amp;#039;s third wedding anniversary with Kate, and just before the former couple were due to attend the wedding of Guy Pelly, a friend of the Princes, in Memphis this weekend. But it&amp;#039;s not all doom and gloom; remember when William and Kate had a brief split back in 2007 and then in a twist of fairytale events, got back together, had one of the cutest babies ever to have existed and lived happily ever after? So the future could still be bright for Harry and Cressida. Of course, Paddy Power have made themselves useful and jumped straight on the back of the news, publishing odds on who Harry&amp;#039;s next ladyfriend is likely to be (because we&amp;#039;re sure that&amp;#039;s the first thing he wants to sort out with his newly single status); and the good news is that there&amp;#039;s a 500 in 1 chance it could be YOU. Yeah, that&amp;#039;s right. But compared to Cressie&amp;#039;s odds of reinstating her position as girlfriend of one of Britain&amp;#039;s most eligible batchelors - which are 1 to 3 - we&amp;#039;re not holding out any real hopes of being the next K-Middy.
