Prince Harry jokingly warned Ronnie Wood off girlfriend Cressida Bonas at Glastonbury

Prince Harry is quite smitten with his girlfriend Cressida Bonas. Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood has revealed that Prince Harry jokingly told him to stay away from his love when they were at Glastonbury last weekend.

"He introduced me to his bird," said guitar ace Ronnie at an awards ceremony on Wednesday night. "I gave her a cuddle and he said, 'Oi, get your hands off'. It was great to see him."

Harry and Cressida, who's known as 'Cressie' to her friends, spent the weekend among celebrities and revellers alike at the world-famous music festival. The couple bagged a pass to watch the Rolling Stones from the side of the Pyramid Stage. They proved they were just like the rest of us as they tucked into a plate of chips, soaked up the sun and enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere.

Festival organiser Michael Eavis vouched for Harry's low-key presence. "Prince Harry was great actually," he told reporters. "I recommended that he should go on into the night, because the nightlife is what Glastonbury is all about."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, you don't get it. I told him to get his taxi driver to come back at five o'clock in the morning and do you know what? He lasted until four in the morning. His friends were all having a great time. He didn't want to make a formal thing of being here."

Cressida, 24, looked effortlessly stylish in worn denim dungarees with a loosely fitted white vest underneath. She wore white high-top trainers and a pair of retro 90s-style neon sunglasses to top off her festival look. Prince Harry opted for a casual look, wearing a frayed checked shirt and shorts as he tried to blend in with the crowds.

It seems his efforts to remain as incognito as possible succeeded, as the barmaid who served him in Glastonbury's Bar Boulevard reportedly only recognised the young royal when he left.

After enjoying The Rolling Stones, Prince Harry reportedly left his girlfriend to join some friends who he has previously been spotted with in Las Vegas, for a night of partying and dancing with A-list celebrities. The dashing royal danced alongside Kate Moss and other famous faces until sometime after three in the morning. 

Prince Harry and Cressida's outing to Glastonbury comes days after Cressida performed her farewell routine for the Trinity Laban Conservatoire on Wednesday. The performance was her last dance, as she has just completed a one-year contemporary dance course at the prestigious institution.

The couple are said to be very down-to-earth, and often try to blend in with the crowds. Just last week they were spotted taking a train home from a friend's wedding in Northumberland.
