Prince Harry


Culture is “that which sustains and nourishes those who live and move within it” (Brummett, 2011,pp. 21). Although we Americans have an interesting culture of our own, something about other cultures seems to intrigue us. With the recent wedding of Prince William and Kate, American’s are especially interested in the culture of England. This week on Yahoo’s trending page the one of the top listings is “Who is Prince Harry’s Girlfriend”.  As American’s being exposed to this life style of the royals helps us become more “cultured” (Brummett, 2011).
Prince Harry is being featured on magazines and websites due to his “serious” relationship with a girl who reporters call “anti-Kate” (Famous Relationships. 2013).  Cressida Bones is not as well now as Kate Middleton, however, with the talks about a wedding she will soon be a very hot topic. As expected Harry has found interest in a girl who is nothing like Princess Kate. Cressida comes from an aristocratic family and enjoys the finer things in life; she is always at high-class clubs living the life of the rich and famous (Famous Relationships, 2013). However, her wardrobe suggests otherwise, this blonde beauty is usually seen in grungy, layered clothing and never appears to look “classy”. Personally I feel that Cressida knows that she has a hard role to fill and a lot to be compared to, in her case it seems as if it would be easier to be the complete opposite of the notorious Princess Kate.  She was also photographed before her relationship with Prince Harry and seems to have not changed her appearance just because of the role she is now playing as the Prince’s girlfriend. This could both the positive and negative.  It is good to see that she is not changing who she is just because of who she is dating, but also for Prince Harry’s sake investing in a more classy wardrobe would help him and her receive more positive publicity.
