Prince Harry hit a music festival in the UK this weekend, with new girlfriend, 23-year-old Cressida Bonas.

Harry and Cressida spotted at WOMAD, the word music festival in the south west of England.

According to the Wiltshire Times, the prince, who is third in the line to the throne, amused those in his group - thought to include Princess Eugenie and her boyfriend Jack Brooksbank - with a comical duck-shaped hat.

According to a fellow reveller he was ‘having a real scream’, and was said to have rarely left Cressida’s side and appeared ‘quite captivated’.

Festival director Chris Smith told the paper: “He (Prince Harry) was in every bar, and he was seen playing table tennis in the backstage bar at one point. One of the crew challenged him to a game but he declined unfortunately."
