Prince Harry spends wet weekend dancing in a field at Womad festival with girlfriend Cressida

It was the wettest weekend of the summer - with over a month's worth of rain falling in parts of Britain - but that didn't stop Prince Harry from partying at the Womad festival in Wiltshire.
The 28-year-old royal was joined by his girlfriend Cressida and their friends for the annual music and dance event where artists including Arrested Development and Ed Harcourt performed.
The heavy downpours couldn't dampen the spirits of festival going group who put up umbrellas and donned hats to hold off the showers.

Cressida, 24, covered her blonde hair with a baggy beanie hat while Harry pulled on a trilby.

The hat appears to be his staple accessory for festival-going as he wore the same one when he partied at Glastonbury in June.


It was not the first time Prince Harry has been to a Womad. Indeed, he attended last year, again with Cressida, when he was photographed wearing an Angry Birds hat.

It was also reported at the time that he had been splashed with red wine by Gogol Bordello singer Eugene Hutz while he watched the rowdy gypsy punk band perform.

Most who attend the event camp in tents but if the prince didn't want to slum it, the festival has a spa and 'Lah-Di-Dah Loos' that they profess are so luxurious, they would be fit for his grandmother the Queen.

The festival no doubt appeals to dancer Cressida's artistic side as it bring together performers - including singers, dancers and DJs - from around the world for performances and workshops.

Womad is an organisation founded in 1980 by Peter Gabriel, Thomas Brooman and Bob Hooton and currently holds festivals in more than over 20 countries.

Entertainment: Harry and Cressida could watch a number of song and dance performances, while joining in workshops was also an option

Prince Harry became an uncle for the first time last week and he said he hopes his fun-loving nature will rub off on his nephew, Prince George of Cambridge.

In his new role as an uncle, he said he intends: 'To make sure he has a good upbringing, and keep him out of harm's way and to make sure he has fun.'

'The rest I'll leave to the parents,' he added.

When asked what his nephew was like he held up his hands and said: 'Well he's about that long and about that wide.'
