Prince Harry is back on the market! According to UsMagazine.com, after a two year relationship, the Prince and girlfriend Cressida Bonas have separated . . . for now. “They’re off, but I don’t think it’s for good,” said a source to Us. “They hit a rocky patch and this decision is the result of that. Harry is the type to want to take breathers and then try again.” A Kensington Palace spokesman went on to say, “We never comment on private lives.” The pair met when Prince Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie of York, also the 25-year-old socialite’s friend, introduced the two and they hit it off by July 2012. Despite the breakup, the two have remained friends: “It’s very sad that they have decided to split. It’s very amicable, but they have decided to go their separate ways,” says a Bonas family source.
