Cressida Bonas and Prince Harry might have recently been surrounded by rumours of an engagement but according to a new report a few of those close the the prince are having doubts over whether the blonde is the right person for the royal.
29 year-old Harry has been dating the blonde socialite for the last 20 months and while they appear loved up friends around his are reportedly worried her "carefree" nature wouldn't mesh well with a royal life with strict protocol.
While she won't have as much responsibility as future queen and mother of a king, the Duchess of Cambridge, Cressida will still be a senior member of the royal family something those close to her doubt she would be able to handle.
"There is a growing feeling among a small section of them that Cressida isn't the perfect choice for him," a source tells E! News.
"I don't think it's because there is anything wrong with the relationship or they don't like her, but there is concern that she is too much of a free spirit to be happy in the royal family long-term."

"They worry that she wouldn't be able to fully adapt to that lifestyle. They think she's too carefree and would find it difficult to live by the protocol that comes with the job, which of course it is. It might be too much of a constraint for her. And that could cause problems for everyone."
It's a pretty sharp change for the couple, who weeks ago were reportedly basically set upon spending their life together.
"Harry and Cressida have made a point of talking about marriage and what changes they're going to have to make to their life of late," a source told the website last March.
"According to friends of Cressida's, the couple have decided to try and keep their semi normal lifestyle as long as physically possible."
We're sure Harry and Cressida know what will be best for them, so let's not worry about it until then.
