"It's very sad that they have decided to split," one source told the gossip magazine. "It's very amicable, but they have decided to go their separate ways."
Another insider confirmed the end of the relationship but said the two lovebirds, who have a history of being on-and-off, may very well end up back together.
"They're off, but I don't think it's for good," the source said. "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."
Engagement rumors first began circulating in October, when one of
Bonas' friends reportedly told The Telegraph that marriage was all Prince Harry talked about.
Bonas studied dance at Leeds University and graduated from the Trinity Laban Conservatoire last year. The daughter of Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon and businessman Jeffrey Bonas, Cressida Bonas comes from a well-known family. One of her half-sisters, Pandora, is an accessories designer for Vivienne Westwood, according to The Telegraph. Her half-brother Jacobi Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe is a popular polo player, and her other half-sister Isabella recently married Sir Richard Branson's son Sam.
The news of the breakup is sure to come as music to the ears of the 12 American women who signed up for
Fox's upcoming reality show, "I Wanna Marry 'Harry.'" The show pits the contestants against each other, "Bachelor" style, to vie for the affections of a Prince Harry lookalike who, the women fail to realize, is not the real deal.
