  • News of her split from Prince Harry was confirmed by friends last night

Wearing a battered denim jacket and with her long hair unbrushed, Cressida Bonas cut a glum figure as she walked through London's West End this morning.
Pictured for the first time since news of her split from Prince Harry, her boyfriend of two years, was confirmed, the 25-year-old kept her head down as she bought a takeaway fruit drink.
The dancer, who is currently working for a marketing company in Soho after graduating from dance school, is now said to want to concentrate on her career.

Poor old Cressida Bonas. It must be hard to split up from a prince. Especially when he's as handsome as our Harry.
But, the pretty trained dancer will no doubt not be single for long. She's super beautiful and we've always been fans of her unique style. While Cressida will dress up with an appropriate fascinator at a society wedding she is much more at home in a slightly grungey street style look.
This outfit is a good example. Dr Marten boots? Check. Vintage looking denim and shearling jacket? Check. Black tights? Check. Black dress? Check. It's all quite nineties and definitely on the hipster side of style.
And we love the addition of a bright Aztec print headband. Headbands have long since moved on from the world of the Sloaney Pony and have been updated and claimed by the cool kids of east London.
Buy one like Cressida's from our top picks below then style traditionally to keep your hair off your face or give it the hippy edge by keeping it horizontal across the forehead. Perfect for a festival too!

The end of her relationship with the Prince, who will be 30 in September, came after rumours that it has become strained in recent weeks.
US magazine People claimed that Miss Bonas had become 'too needy' for the royal, but friends of the couple denied that, saying it was 'very much an amicable' split and that the couple had parted as friends.
A friend of theirs told the Mail: 'Cressida has decided she wants to focus on her career and Harry is really keen that she is allowed to get on with her life.
‘He is furious at this suggestion that the split was in any way because she was relying too much on him. Cressida is one of the most independent people he knows.’
Miss Bonas graduated from the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in Greenwich, and is now said to be working out which career path to follow.
Wearing a black dress, black tights despite the heat, and a hoodie under her denim jacket, she looked lost in her thoughts this morning.

Another friend said that the couple's split might turn out to be temporary, as happened with Kate  Middleton and Prince William before they got engaged.
The friend said: 'Cressie is only 25 and pretty young for her age at that. Prince Harry will be 30 this year and is at a different stage in his life.
'He is incredibly fond of Cressie, and understands that she wants to do something with her life and with her career before she considers settling down.
‘It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if they got back together in a few months' time.’

Her ex-boyfriend and Prince William are believed to be heading to Tennessee this weekend to attend the wedding of their close friend, Guy Pelly. 
He is marrying American-born Lizzy Wilson and is said to have asked the princes to be ushers.
Prince Harry and Miss Bonas met in the summer of 2012 after being introduced by Princess Eugenie, and their relationship appeared to have stepped up a gear earlier this year after they appeared together at a charity engagement in Wembley and the rugby at Twickenham.
