For a while there it seemed as if Prince Harry might really be getting ready to settle down. The well-established party boy recently celebrated his 30th birthday and had appeared to reunite with his former flame, Cressida Bonas. The couple had dated for about two years before splitting up earlier this past spring. Those close to the royals claimed at the time that Bonas wasn't sure if she could handle the intense scrutiny that goes hand-in-hand with being a royal and so shortly before announcing their engagement the couple instead parted ways. A few weeks ago Harry was once again spotted with Bonas leading to speculation that the couple had reconciled but based on the prince's recent behavior they are certainly not exclusive.

According to a report from The Sun, Harry recently returned from a trip to Africa and late last week he was spotted having dinner with pals as well as a hot mystery blonde. The group eventually moved to a nearby bar where Prince Harry was seen passionately kissing the blonde who has yet to be identified. He reportedly left the bar at around 1:30 a.m. alone, but the hot stolen moments sure explained the status of his relationship with former love, Bonas. If they are contemplating a reconciliation they aren't on exclusive terms just yet.

While Harry has been known for his partying and semi-reckless behavior in the past, he has grown up enough to know better than to think that the press won't be clued in to his actions. That means that he might not actually have cared if the royal watchers' found out about his new blonde friend, otherwise the kiss wouldn't have happened in view of anyone.

Harry reportedly loves being an uncle to little Prince George and watching his brother and sister-in-law's life together has supposedly made him feel more ready to settle down himself. Some close to Harry think that he will always ultimately remain a hard partying player because he enjoys having options. Do you think that he'll ever commit to Bonas? Is his ambivalence because she's simply not the right woman or is it that it's a step that he'll likely never take with any woman? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
