Close friends said they were smitten and “very happy” and he has already met her mum, Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon
Prince Harry and latest love Cressida Bonas are set to walk down the aisle together…at a society wedding.
Cressida’s half-sister Isabella Calthorpe is to marry Richard Branson’s son Sam and they are both on the guest list.
It is understood the wedding will take place soon at Sir Richard’s private game reserve in South Africa.
Close friends said yesterday Harry and Cressida were smitten and “very happy”.
One pal revealed helicopter pilot Harry, 28, worked hard to woo the 24-year-old dance student after his return from Afghanistan.
He has already met her mum, Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon.
The friend said: “It is developing into a true romance. Harry and Cressida are just getting to know each other but they are very happy.
“It’s early days but they are having fun together and enjoying spending time in each other’s company.”
The pair – skiing in Verbier, Switzerland, with Harry’s cousins Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie – have been seen kissing and cuddling on the slopes and in bars and restaurants.
Branson’s staff are believed to have already flown to the game reserve to prepare for Sam and Isabella’s big day.
Harry will be carrying out official engagements in Africa next week.
The prince will spend three days in Lesotho with his charity Sentebale, which cares for the victims of the country’s AIDS epidemic.
He is also scheduled to attend a Johannesburg dinner.
Virgin heir Sam, 27, proposed to blonde actress Isabella, 32 – rumoured to have once turned down Prince William – during a holiday in Madagascar last year.
They will tie the knot in an idyllic ceremony with close friends and family including Beatrice and Eugenie, Sam’s sister Holly and her new husband Fred Andrews.
Branson’s Ulusaba reserve on the border of the Kruger National Park resort has three lodges with stunning views of the bush in a 64,000-hectare wilderness.
