Britain's Prince Charles has given his seal of approval to Prince Harry's new girlfriend, Cressida Bonas after recently meeting her.

The 28-year-old royal recently went public with his romance with Cressida Bonas but he was keen for his dad to meet his new partner so arranged a meeting between them, which went very well.

A source said: "Harry knew he needed a nod from his dad so people would take them seriously as a couple. He was understandably nervous but asked Charles if they could meet over a 'kitchen supper' - an informal, simple meal. It was the least pressures setting he could think of.

"He (Charles) thought she was bubbly well-mannered and a natural beauty - something he truly appreciates."

And Charles was so impressed with Cressida, he reportedly invited her to join the family on a ski trip.

The source added to Now magazine: "Charles made it clear that she had his approval - so much so that he asked if they wanted to join him on his ski trip. Cressie couldn't as she had work commitments in London, but she was thrilled to be asked.

"It's early days but the fact that Harry organised a dinner with Charles so soon is an indicator he's serious. Charles had a good talk with Cressie and thought she was delightful. That's definitely a good sign for the future."


Cressida Bonas is 'the one' for Prince Harry

Prince Harry may have found "the one" in Cressida Bonas, with insiders also reporting they have been asking the Duchess of Cambridge for advice on coping in the public eye.

The couple - who have been dating for almost a year - were seen smiling leaving a London nightclub together on Friday night (15.03.13) and insiders believe the 24-year-old dance student is his true love.

A source told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "It's looking like Cressida could be the one. Those smiles are big clues.

"Handling the attention is part of the training course to marry her Prince Charming."

The Buckingham Palace aide also revealed the couple have been asking Harry's sister-in-law the Duchess of Cambridge for advise on coping with a relationship in the public eye.

The insider added: "Harry is getting advice from Kate [Middleton], who says whatever happens just keep smiling.

"This is part of the royal recruitment to see if Cressida can cope. Harry has his choice of girls and he's stuck with this one.

"Being out with Harry in front of all the photographers on Friday was her biggest test so far."

The British prince, who is third in line to the throne, spoke earlier in the year of his hopes of finding his perfect woman.

He said: "If you find the right person and everything feels right then it takes time, especially for myself at my brother."
