"Hippy in dress and disposition, she is a dreamy, arty, bohemian sort who loves to spend her weekends dancing at raves," wrote Australia's News Limited, describing the young socialite similarly.

"She also enjoys a carefree existence as the baby of one of the most glamorous fractured upper-crust families in the country."

Unlike middle-class born Kate Middleton, Cressida has royal blood in her family. Her mother, sixties "it girl" Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon, is the daughter of the sixth Earl Howe, a godson of King Edward VII. Herfather is entrepreneur Jeffrey Bonas. Both have been upper society fixtures since before she was born.

Some are excited by the prospect of Harry settlingdown with a "fun, feisty, and free-spirited" woman like Cressida however.

In a post called , The Telegraph's Cristina Odone compares Prince Harry and "Cressie" to a young Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, saying that they could add a welcome element of surprise to the Royal family.

"Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge are delightfully wholesome, but a tad staid. You could invite them to a party knowing they'd get on with everyone, offer to help with the washing-up and worry about their fleet of black Range Rovers upsetting the neighbours..." she writes.

"Harry and Cressie, by all accounts, would probably down a few Jägerbombs, dance wildly until dawn and make their exit by climbing out of a window to avoid the paparazzi."
