Britain’s Prince Harry has reportedly given Cressida Bonas free-rein of Buckingham Palace.
The 30-year-old royal has been dating the blonde beauty for just over a year and has now decided to take their relationship to the next level by allowing her to enter the palace grounds without being searched.
A source told Grazia magazine: "Cressida has been staying with Harry pretty much every night for the last few weeks. So Harry felt it was sensible that she got the security clearance to come and go as she pleases, instead of always having to enter with him.
"She’s now on first name terms with all the security guards, and uses all three entrances to the palace."
Sources claimed last year the pair’s relationship was heading for the rocks following reports of Prince Harry planning to pop the question, but friends close to Cressida, 24, insist they’re loved-up.
The friend explained: "Cressida had a wobble just after Christmas. The speculation about whether they would get married had become too much and she declined an invitation to Sandringham to join the royal family on a shoot. Instead she flew to Necker Island to be with her half-sister Isabella and brother-in-law Sam Branson.
"Cressy just needed breathing space. Harry has been brilliant and understands completely. The fact she has now been given free access to the palace is all a part of his plan to ease her into royal life and prove she can still have a normal life as his girlfriend. She hasn’t fully moved in yet, but she stays most nights."
