Britain's Prince Harry will jet to South Africa with girlfriend Cressida Bonas to see Richard Branson's son get married.

The flame-haired royal will swap the Swiss ski slopes - where he has been spotted canoodling with the blonde beauty this week - for sunnier climes in the African country next week to attend the nuptials of his friend Sam Branson and Cressida's half-sister Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe.

A friend told The Sun newspaper: 'Harry and Cressie are at the exciting stage of a relationship where they just want to spend as much time together as possible.

'He has ties to the Branson family, so everyone's incredibly excited at the prospect of seeing them together in South Africa.'

There is speculation Harry is being lined up as guest of honour at the wedding, but afterwards he is set to enjoy 'undisclosed private time' with his new 24-year-old beau.

The trip is a timely one for Harry as he is due in Lesotho in the country next week and then at a gala dinner in Johannesburg, one of the nation's largest cities.

Earlier this week, Harry and Cressida were spotted canoodling and kissing 'like love-struck teenagers in the back of a cinema' on their one-week skiing holiday in Verbier, Switzerland.

On Tuesday night (19.02.13), the royal and the socialite were also seen at the Pot Luck Club restaurant at the resort's Farinet Hotel.
