Prince Harry might be ready to finally settle down. According to new reports, Harry is planning on proposing to his girlfriend Cressida Bonas by the end of the year, royal insiders have predicted.

The Prince, 28, has been dating the 24-year-old dance student since July 2012.

Harry sparked engagement rumors earlier this month when he whisked Cressida off on a romantic African safari, just like his brother Prince William did with Kate Middleton in 2010 when he asked her to marry him.

"The way it's looking now people close to Harry and Cressida predict an engagement by the end of the year and a spring wedding," said a Palace insider.

"Cressida is The One. He's so close to her. All the tell-tale signs are there. People have heard Harry talking about how special Cress is and about getting engaged," the insider added. "He says 'They are all waiting for me to propose any day', then he grins."

"It's his idea of a joke. He takes everything like this lightheartedly. But we know his true feelings," the close friend said. "He is taking a lot of time and trouble to devote so much time to her and see her as often as he can.

Cressida is a close pal of his cousins Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who introduced them.

The couple split last year after the naked photos of him in a Las Vegas hotel suite emerged. But they were seen shortly afterwards in London clubs and bars before heading to the ski slopes of Switzerland.

They split again two months ago but rekindled their romance at the June wedding of Lady Melissa Percy, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, at Alnwick Castle.

More recently the pair have been seen at pop festivals, although both remain tight-lipped about their future.
