Prince Harry's pal slams 'terrible' pressure on Cressida Bonas

A friend of Prince Harry has hit out at the public pressure on the royal's girlfriend Cressida Bonas, saying that the latter is a "young girl in love" who is desperate for time alone with her beau.

Inge Solheim said that if the couple wants to go to repressive Kazakhstan on a ski break to spend some time in private, as young lovers want to, without being criticised, it's beautiful, the Daily star reported.

The 41-year-old former City stockbroker asserted that the pressure on Cressida is absolutely terrible for a girl.

It is also worth noting that Solheim was the one who invited the couple to the Shymbulak resort in the country that has a poor human rights record, to "chill out".
