CRESSIDA Bonas dumped Prince Harry after being "spooked" watching Kate and Wills on their first overseas tour with a young Prince George, a royal biographer claims.

The British actress, who dated the prince for two years between 2012 and 2014, suffered a wobble after seeing her future brother-and-sister-in-law travel around New Zealand and Australia in 2014 with their eight-month-old son.

She described the moment as a "wake up call", realising this was the life she would have if she stayed with Harry, according to Katie Nicholl, author of Harry: Life, Loss, and Love.

"Cressida had been 'completely spooked' while watching TV coverage of William, Kate and George touring New Zealand and Australia that spring," Katie wrote.

"There was no way she wanted that sort of attention and she told Harry so."

The biographer claims a pal told her Prince Harry didn't want things to end as he was "in love with her".

"He tried to convince her they could make it work, but Cressida’s mind was made up," she wrote.

"Harry suffered a real blow when she said, ‘I can’t do this'. I think she really broke his heart.”

Katie continued: "Twice [Harry] had been left heartbroken because the women he had fallen in love with didn’t want to share the life he had been born into," referring to his ex Chelsy Davy, who also decided the life of a royal bride "was not for her".

Despite breaking Harry's heart, Cressida still managed to bag an invite to his wedding to Meghan Markle last year.

She revealed her biggest fear about attending her ex's big day was choosing the right hat to wear.

Cressida is now dating chartered surveyor Harry Wentworth-Stanley, and posted a loved-up snap on Instagram on his 29th birthday.
