Prince Harry Sends His First Tweet at Invictus Games Launch

Prince Harry is on Twitter for today, at least!The royal sent his first tweet from London's BT Tower Thursday to promote the Invictus Games, a multi-sport event for wounded soldiers. While taking his time to type the tweet on an iPad, Invictus Games president Harry joked, "This is why I joined the army, I can't type properly!" He also encouraged the audience to "keep talking" as he checked his notes against what he had written.

So what did his first tweet say? "Hope everyone will get behind #invictusgames," he wrote. "Great opportunity to support and thank the men and women who have given so much. Harry."

The prince may be a social media novice, but he managed to keep his tweet under 140 characters and used a hashtag. Perhaps it's time he creates his own Twitter account, given that @ClarenceHouse doesn't capture the spare heir's sense of humor. A number of royals already have a presence on Twitter, including Prince Andrew (@TheDukeofYork),Queen Elizabeth II (represented by @BritishMonarchy), and Prince Charles, who sometimes tweets from the handle @ClarenceHouse.

Harry also gave a speech about this fall's Invictus Games, telling the crowd, "For many of those who have suffered life changing injuries, sport plays a hugely important part in their recovery and life beyond as you have heard. This is particularly true for those men and women injured in the service of their country. By the nature of their profession these men and women are often very active and undoubtedly highly competitive. The Invictus Games this September will give these inspirational people the opportunity to showcase their talent and in doing so, prove that anything is really possible."

"The Games do not stand in isolation but are part of a broader legacy; there are many fantastic organizations supporting those leaving the Armed Forces, whether injured or not," he continued. "But we want to encourage many more to support where they can. I am delighted that BT has joined us in making these games a reality. They have a fantastic track record in support to those leaving the Armed Forces and to sport in general. I hope many other businesses will follow BT and Jaguar Landrover's lead in recognizing the fantastic contribution that these men and women can make to their organizations." "The four days of inspirational sport in September will allow us to highlight and applaud the character of these service men and women in the iconic Olympic Venues here in London watched by the best supporters in the world but this is just the start," he said. "I hope everyone will show their admiration by snapping up tickets when they go on sale tomorrow morning and cheering from the side lines."

The Invictus Games will take place in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London. Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. GMT on Friday, and the full schedule can be found on the Invictus Games website.

Cressida Bonas Steps Out Looking Somber Following Prince Harry Breakup

Maybe that green juice will help lift Cressida Bonas' spirits?Looking a little on the downside, the blond beauty stepped out in London earlier today, wearing a dark blazer and skirt combo. She accessorized the look with earrings, a long gold necklace and a pair of shades.

This is the first sighting of Cressy since her now ex-boyfriend Prince Harry was seen taking on wedding duties and celebrating his pal Guy Pelly's road to the altar in Memphis last weekend.

The famous couple, who had been dating for nearly two years, had broken up in late April. Bonas had been having reservations about being thrust into the spotlight just like Kate Middleton.

A source told us that she loved her freedom and doesn't want her life to "become a circus."

Soon afterward, Vanity Fair reported that the broken-hearted blonde is on leave from her marketing job to allow her to handle her breakup as privately as possible.

"Cressida can't stand the fact that everywhere she goes, someone takes a picture of her on their smartphone especially when she is feeling down," a source told the publication. "She has been told it's O.K. for her to take some time off work."

Prince Harry Headed to Estonia, Italy, Brazil and Chile on Royal Tours

Sadly, the redheaded royal won't be returning to the States anytime soon for an official visit, but he will be traveling to Estonia and Italy in May, followed by a visit to Brazil and Chile in June, Kensington Palace announced Friday. Both visits are in support of the U.K. government and are being organized by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

So what will Cressida Bonas' man be doing on his royal visits around the globe? In Estonia, per a press release from the palace, Harry will thank the Estonian Defense Forces for their support of the British troops in Afghanistan. Then in Italy, he'll attend commemorative events for the Italian campaign in WWII, focusing on the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Monte Cassino, which is the collective term for four battles that took place between January and May 1944 during which Italy fighting with allied troops from the U.K., Poland, Canada, France, India, New Zealand and America.

The following month, Harry's visit to Brazil and Chile is designed to enhance the partnership between these countries and the U.K., and build on the relationships he forged during his official visit to Brazil in March 2012. This will be Harry's second visit to Brazil and his first visit to both Estonia and Chile. He has previously visited Italy on one occasion, but privately when he was a child.

The exact dates of Harry's royal tour have yet to be announced, but per Hello!, some sources are speculating he will be in Brazil for the part of the FIFA World Cup which runs June 12 to July 13.

If this is true, somehow we think Harry will find a way to catch a match in between hobnobbing with the bigwigs in Brazil!

Prince Harry & Cressida Bonas Had a Dinner at The Ivy in Central London

Being Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas third wheel doesn't sound so bad, does it?

The couple joined Cressy's brother-in-law Sam Branson for dinner at The Ivy in Central London on Monday night.

The royal redhead, 29, and his blue-blooded blond love, 25, were both dressed low-key for their night on the town. Harry wore a baseball cap, navy pullover and jeans, while Cress opted for an all-black ensemble and let her hair fall freely in its natural waves.

A source says the pair "seemed happy and relaxed" during their meal with Sam, who married Cressida's half-sister Isabella Calthourpe last year, and that the group all seemed "casual and friendly."

On their way out, however, Harry and Cressy made it a point to walk separately once they noticed the cameras were on them. Like the true gentleman he is, Harry walked ahead of Cress and faced the initial glare of the paparazzi flashes before her.

This little royal rendez-vous should clear up any of the breakup rumors surrounding Harry and Cress. As for those engagement rumors surrounding the couple? Well, those aren't going away anytime soon.

But it's hard to blame these two for wanting to keep their relationship on the DL for now, at least! Because if and when there's a royal wedding, you better believe the world will be watching!
