Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas have gone public!

The royal redhead was accompanied by his stunning blond girlfriend to We Day in the U.K. Friday, marking Cressy's first appearance at an official event carried out by the prince.

Harry, 29, gave a speech to 12,000 students at the inaugural U.K. event benefitting Free the Children, an international charity working to engage and empower young people to work together towards ending poverty.  He admitted to being "incredibly nervous" to address his young audience, then quipped, "If you were expecting Harry Styles, I apologize. And no, I'm not going to sing."

He was dressed casually for his speech at London's Wembley arena, wearing jeans, sneakers and a flannel shirt. He praised Free the Children as a "fantastic organization," telling the students there he knew how "children have the power to affect change."

Cress, 25, also kept her look low-key for the function, wearing Converse sneakers, jeans and a black top and jacket. She and Harry made separate entrances but reunited inside at seats in the VIP section.

It certainly seems these two are continuing along on their path towards engagement. Earlier this week Harry had dinner at The Ivy with Cress and her brother-in-law Sam Branson, and now the potential princess is supporting her man at an official appearance?

Ring watch is on, commoners!
