Prince Harry , sporting a beard and Cressida Bonas, were spotted on a casual dinner date at a local burger joint, silencing rumors that they were no longer together.
The couple, who has been on and off for the past few years, appear to be on again, after there were rumors that they had broken up.
Apparently, due to their conflicting family schedules, Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas spent their holidays apart, fueling the rumors, but don’t believe everything you read online.

Harry was trekking the South Pole in his expedition for the charity Walking With The Wounded and Cressy — as she is also known — was in the Caribbean.
Cressida, 24, and Prince Harry , 29, were casually dressed for their outing, but there was not much time for romance, as they were followed closely by three police officers.
Byron Hamburgers in Kensington is a casual dinning place and witnesses said the couple appeared to be having a good time under the watchful eye of paparazzi.

A report in the Mirror this past December suggested that Prince Harry and Cressy had begun to “drift apart.”
An unidentified source added: “talk of Harry and Cressida getting married could not be further from the truth,” and that while the prince “is incredibly fond of Cressida and loves her company,” he “has commitments and plans in other areas of his life that could be jeopardized by settling down.”

The last comment is probably all true, but that doesn’t mean the relationship is over because of Harry’s obligations as fourth in line to the throne.
Cressida Bonas is a trained dancer and is reportedly worried about the effects her association with Prince Harry can have on her career.
However, she is also reportedly smitten with the royal, who has a reputation of being a party animal, while at the same time the owner of a big heart, following in the footsteps of his late mother, Princess Diana.
Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas have been through some rough patches, especially after photos of a nude Harry surfaced while he visited Las Vegas in 2012, Cressy didn’t like that at all.
However, after the couple was spotted getting cozy in Verbier, Switzerland, during a skiing trip, things seem to be on the up and after the holiday separation they are still on, so even more reason to think that maybe this time Prince Harry has found his princess.
