There are millions of girls who dream of being in the shoes of Cressida Bonas, Prince Harry’s latest love interest.
But few have yet paid much attention to what exactly the 24-year-old dance student Cressie wears on her feet.
Prince Harry has reportedly given her a pair of £300 designer snow boots, otherwise known as Mukluks.

The grey boots are Mukluks, a shoe originally worn by Arctic people and made of reindeer skin (the royal pair are thought to be cowhide and rabbit fur).
Kate Moss has been seen in a pair numerous times over the past few years and they’ve appeared in countless fashion magazines. Just the thing to ensure a Royal girlfriend will warm to her Prince Charming.

Cressida is certainly well place for her esteemed new role. Daughter of renowned Old Harrovian businessman Jeffrey Bonas and Sixties model Lady Mary Curzon — who posed semi-naked for a coffee table photographic book and went on to get married and divorced four times — Cressida is a familiar figure in London’s upper-class social scene.The evolution of the fashionable furry boot
Whole websites like mukluks.com are devoted to the boots
Worn for centuries by arctic peoples such as the Inuit, mukluks are still sold by some Aboriginal-owned companies.
Traditionally made from reindeer or seal skins, the boots allow movement while keeping the wearer warm, and they quickly became the boot of choice on ski holidays.
Their quirky decorative pom poms and fur sleeve caught the eye of fashionistas on the slopes and the mukluk trend was born!
A favorite of celebrities like Kate Moss and Sienna Miller in the early nineties, the mukluk was the ultimate 'it' shoe.
It has slightly fallen out of favour in the last few years, being replaced by Ugg and over-the-knee boots, but no doubt Prince Harry's purchase will see the Mukluk swing back into fashion once again.
And of course, as always, when a royal girlfriend is pictured in something, every self-respecting Sloane Ranger and Chelsea resident will be dashing off to the shops to buy the same.
