London ( CNN ) -- Britain 's Prince Harry is officially single again after splitting with Cressida Bonas , his girlfriend of two years . The two had been widely tipped to marry in the next big royal wedding . Speculation became feverish after they appeared at their first official appearance together last month , kissing and hugging at a charity event at London 's Wembley Arena . Harry , fourth in the line to the British throne , and Bonas had been spotted several times on private dates in paparazzi shots that appeared in British newspapers . A source close to the couple told CNN they remain `` best of friends . '' The source said : `` It 's very , very sad that they have decided to split . It 's very amicable but they have decided to go their separate ways . '' One reason for the breakup is that Bonas , at the age of 25 , had her own ambitions that were increasingly being overshadowed by her high profile relationship . She recently completed a one-year contemporary dance course at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London and now has a marketing job . She never seemed comfortable with all the attention that came with being linked to one of the world 's most eligible bachelors . Rumors of marriage had heaped pressure on Bonas , and prompted an increasing amount of media intrusion into her personal life . Who should Harry date next ? Harry , in previous interviews , has raised the question of who would want to take on such a high profile boyfriend . People have often scoffed at the notion , filling up social media with marriage proposals for the Prince , but in some way he may now feel vindicated . They will both hope that by separating they will end the media interest in Bonas and give her the privacy she wants to pursue a career in her own right . Harry was introduced to Bonas by his cousin , Princess Eugenie . Bonas ' mother is socialite and 1960s `` It Girl '' Lady Mary-Gaye Georgina Lorna Curzon . It 's worth noting that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also split up at one point in their twenties , prompting speculation that Harry and Bonas could get back together in the future , if things settle down and they both feel ready . Harry is reportedly heading to Memphis this weekend for the marriage of his close friend Guy Pelley to hotel heiress Elizabeth Wilson . He 'll be hoping to keep a lower profile on this trip -- on his last private visit to the U.S. as a single man , he was caught on camera stripping at a party in Las Vegas .
