"I've never seen Harry so happy," an insider reveals to Us in the Oct. 21 issue. "If all goes well, I'm 100 percent sure they'll be engaged next year."

1. She's got friends in high places! Bonas initially was introduced to Prince Harry, 28, by his cousin and her close friend Princess Eugenie in May 2012. Her lifelong friend isn't the only royal she's grown up with though. Bonas' mother, Lady Mary-Gaye Georgiana Lorna Curzon, is actually an heir to the wealthy Curzon banking family. Her father, Jeffrey Bonas, is an entrepreneur.

2. Bonas isn't one to draw attention to herself. A source reveals to Us that Harry's girlfriend is quite "laid back," which is something he likes. "Initially, Cressida wasn't keen with dating Harry," the source tells Us. "The attention is a lot to take."

4. The blonde beauty is actually a model — and a singer! Bonas reportedly sang at her half-sister Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe's wedding when she married Sam Branson in March 2013. (Branson is the son of Virgin Records tycoon Richard Branson). "I was really nervous before performing and wanted to direct my singing at Bellie," she told HELLO! magazine that same month. "But when I saw her burst into tears and bury her head under the table I suddenly had no-one to sing it to."

Harry and Davy have remained amicable since their on-again, off-again five-year relationship ended in 2009. Davy, 27, even attended the royal wedding in April 2011.
