Royal Break Up

Cressida Takes Compassionate Leave From Work As Harry Hordes Descend on Memphis

Harry-mania may be hitting hard in Memphis - I am reliably informed that the young royals have just rolled up to the wedding venue of Lizzy Wilson and Guy Pelly - but spare a thought for Harry's poor ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas, who has been hit so hard by the breakup and the fuss surrounding it that she has been forced to take some time off work as 'compassionate leave'.

Harry, according to a report in tomorrow's Mail on Sunday, has been texting her 15 times a day and the pair are to hold a 'summit' next week to see if they can patch up their differences.

But, don't get too excited, the Royalist's sources are saying that the young lady feels she has done the right thing, and the media attention of the last few days have convinced her that splitting up with Harry - although she is fond of him - is the right thing to do.

She simply doesn't want to live her life in that fishbowl, and who can blame her?

Still, it can't be much fun for the poor love, traipsing around London being photographed by paparazzi crying while your ex is being mobbed on the streets of Memphis by hordes of women.

Harry seemed ‘down in the dumps’ as he toured Graceland on Friday, according to a guide, and last night the royal brothers skipped a rowdy party back at their hotel.
