Prince Arthur Confirms He Is Dating Sinderella Blackwood as They Celebrate A Year of Dating

It's official!

Prince Arthur relationship has just reached a major milestone!

The prince and the heiress have been dating seriously for about a year now, PEOPLE confirmed last week.

Things are moving at a great pace for them, in fact, that Arthur has already introduced Blackwood to his father (and the future king of England), Prince Charles, and the entire royal family. She even attended private family functions, PEOPLE has learned.

"Arthur is pretty serious about her and she is pretty serious about him," says a pal. Adds another close friend: "It's great. They have a lot in common and I'm sure they will get on very well."

"I believe they will get married maybe in a year or two," says a Royal source.

A shot of them cuddled up together on another boat ride with their hair blowing in the wind was taken today as they celebrated their one year anniversary.

Sinderella Blackwood is pretty in pink as she enjoys romantic vacation in Paris with Prince Arthur

Sinderella Blackwood was smiling as she walked down the streets of Paris with boyfriend Prince Arthur on Friday.

The businesswoman looked refreshed in a pair of cat eye sunglasses she paired with a pink Gucci dress and white sneakers.

His Royal Highness looked chic in a pair of pink sunglasses, a halfway buttoned up blue shirt, and black pants paired with white sneakers.

The couple both topped off their outfits with black fanny packs that they flung across their shoulders as they strolled through the city.

Prince Arthur appeared to be ready for a long day of walking and carried a brochure in his hand and had on his Apple watch.

Blackwood shared a photo of herself in Paris to Instagram on Friday. She was talking on her phone with the caption, 'Happy on the inside.'

"I have a question to ask you." Arthur said as we laid on his couch, watching a movie.

I looked over at him.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I think we're at the point in our relationship where I feel that it's best we start living together." Arthur explained.

"Are you serious? I don't know, Arthur." I said.

He shut the television off.

"What do you mean? Do you not want to move in with me?" He asked.

"You're asking me across the ocean for you." I replied.

"And what's the problem?" He asked.

I sighed. I can't believe he doesn't see what the problem is with me moving from New York to London.

"If you can't see the problem then maybe we shouldn't be talking about this." I answered.

"No, we need to talk about, Sinderella." He said.

"I don't want to talk about it." I said.

He sighed.

"Please tell me you'll think about it." He said.

I got up, grabbing my phone and my purse then putting on my coat.

"Sinderella." He said.

I shook my head.

"I'm leaving." I said as I went to his front door.

He followed me and opened the door for me.

"Call me. I don't know what's wrong with my request but since you're not in the mood to talk about it, I won't bother you." He said.

"Goodbye, Arthur." I said as I walked out of the door, leaving the cottage.

He stood at the door and watched me walk to my car.

👑May 7, 2015

I was back in New York, opening my new office space, I haven't really spoken to Arthur since the day I left. I text him here and there but I don't pick up his calls.

I only called him twice to tell him, happy birthday and another time to tell William and Catherine, how happy I was for them on the birth of their daughter.

I was sitting in my office, looking at fabrics for my new collection. I was also thinking about my relationship with Arthur. I was really scared and shocked when he asked me to move in.

Honestly, I knew that meant that he could possibly be proposing soon and I don't think I'm a perfect fit for marriage and even the royal life.

I don't think I could give up everything to serve the crown. The lost of my freedom is something I don't think I would be okay with.

I was honestly thinking of a way to talk to Arthur about this and make sure he understands that I'm not looking for marriage or being a royal.

There was a knock on my office door. I looked up at the door and sighed. It was Princess Madeleine. I smiled and waved for her to enter my office. I stood up and walked over to her as she walked into the room.

"Mandy, how are you?" I asked as I greeted her with a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Madeleine smiled.

"I'm wonderful, how are you, Sinny?" Madeleine asked as she took off her coat. I guided her to the couch in my office, so we could sit down.

"I'm well." I answered as we sat down.

Madeleine sighed.

"I've missed you and I want to catch up with you but I'm also here on behalf of Arthur." Madeleine said.

I frowned.

"He really sent you to talk to me." I said.

"Well, he's really worried that his girlfriend is avoiding him and may possibly break up with him. What's going on, Sinderella?" Madeleine asked.

I shook my head.

"Nothing, I've been busy. I have a new location opening soon and things have been frantic." I answered.

Madeleine rolled her eyes.

"Don't lie to me." She said.

I huffed.

"Fine, I'm doubting our relationship. I may break up with him." I said.

Madeleine gasped and pinched me.

"Why?" She asked.

"I'm going through a crisis, okay. When he asked me to move in...I panicked and automatically assumed that he's planning to propose and I haven't fully come to the conclusion if I want to be a part of his world. I don't want to lose myself by being with him. I know there's no way his family is going to let us live together for a long period of time without us being engaged." I answered as I started picking at my nails.

Madeleine pulled me into a hug.

"Aww, you poor girl, how could let your thoughts run so wild like that. You should have talked to him about this. I know I can't reassure you but I understand what you're saying but you knew who he was before you got into a relationship with him. There's no way you didn't think marriage wouldn't pop up on his radar." She said.

I bit my bottom lip.

"I honestly was hoping he would have broken by up with me before we made it to three months. I didn't think we come this far in our relationship." I said.

Madeleine slapped my arm.

"Honestly, Sinderella, are you even in love with Arthur?" Madeleine asked.
