"  Photo: Cressida Bonas; Prince Harry / Getty Images Prince Harry may now be fourth in line to the throne (thanks, baby George), but he&amp;#039;s apparently next in line to the altar. Reports suggest that the ginger gent and his beautiful blonde girlfriend of more than a year, Cressida Bonas, are expected to announce their engagement soon. And while Kate Middleton was plagued by &amp;quot;Waity Katie&amp;quot; taunts before her wedding to Wills, it seems that in this case, it&amp;#039;s 24-year-old Bonas who&amp;#039;s been dragging her feet. Learn more about the British beauty&amp;#039;s independent streak with these trivia tidbits.   Photo: From left: Cressida Bonas, Princess Eugenie, Dave Clark and Princess Beatrice / Getty Images 1. Her extended family includes a reality star, a Burberry model, and one of the most famous businessmen in the world. The Middletons they aren&amp;#039;t. Mama Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon once posed nude and slicked in oil, and her four marriages have left Bonas&amp;#039; family tree a bit warped. But that&amp;#039;s not to say it&amp;#039;s not interesting. Gabriella Wilde, an actress who starred in Burberry&amp;#039;s fall 2012 ad campaign, is the (bear with us) half-sister of her half-siblings, while cousin Richard Dinan is best known for starring on the British reality TV show Made in Chelsea. Half-sister Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe, meanwhile, is married to the son of media mogul Richard Branson. Christmas must be a hoot.

Half-sister Isabella\u2014an actress now married to Sam Branson\u2014is credited with causing Prince William and Kate Middleton&amp;#039;s temporary split in 2007. It seems Wills had a crush on the willowy blonde, but the feeling wasn&amp;#039;t mutual. Awkward.  3. Her nicknames are nearly as cool as her name. She may one day be known as a Duchess, but for now, Bonas is happy to answer to Cressy, Smalls, or Smallie, the latter of which reference her role as the baby of the family, not, alas, a devotion to The Sandlot.  4.She&amp;#039;s a total drama queen. Harry&amp;#039;s gal pal earned top marks for her drama performances in school, even landing the lead in a production of Miss Julie. She&amp;#039;s also studied dance, and sang at her half-sister&amp;#039;s wedding. Her interest in pursuing theater is said to be the reason why she&amp;#039;s been reluctant to join the royal family right away.  5. She&amp;#039;s broken a world record. In 2010, the society girl joined Harry&amp;#039;s cousin, Princess Beatrice, and 28 pals to run the London Marathon as a &amp;quot;human caterpillar,&amp;quot; winning the record for &amp;quot;most people to finish a marathon while tied together.&amp;quot; Maybe we won&amp;#039;t tell the Queen about that one.

Bonas, a notorious fan of face paint and music festivals, is more likely to be seen in hippie braids, leather jackets, and overalls than nude pumps and a Jenny Packham frock. This is going to be fun.
