It must be love as Harry buys Cressie fancy footwear

Prince Harry reportedly bought his new girlfriend Cressida Bonas a toe-warming love gift during their ski holiday - a pair of £300 Manitoba Mukluk boots.

Mukluks were originally worn by Eskimos and made of reindeer or seal skin - but Cressida's are said to be a more aesthetically pleasing cowhide and rabbit fur.

An assistant at upmarket store the Ski Service told the Daily Mirror: “Prince Harry came in. He bought ladies boots.”

Another staff member added: “He came on his own, a little before closing time. He was very nice.”
