Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas shares gushing birthday tribute to her ‘dream guy’ husband

Prince Harry‘s ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas has shared a sweet birthday tribute to her ‘dream guy’ husband. 

The actress and model previously dated the Duke of Sussex for two years from 2012 to 2014, after being introduced by his cousin, Princess Eugenie. 

However, Cressida reportedly struggled with the intense media scrutiny that came with being involved with a senior royal, with the pressure believed to have caused their eventual split.

Since her high-profile romance with Harry, Cressida has largely remained tight-lipped about her personal life with her now-husband Harry Wentworth-Stanley. 

Today, she gave a rare insight into their life together, as the 36-year-old shared a glimpse into their life together in a sweet Instagram post.

Images of the couple throughout the years, and with their son Wilbur, born in 2022, were captioned with the text: ‘Happy birthday to my dream guy.’

Her post with her husband, a real estate agent and the son of the Marchioness of Milford Haven, presented a picture of serene domestic bliss. 

Cressida is believed to remain on good terms with Harry and his family, including her long-time friend Princess Eugenie, and even attended her ex-boyfriend’s wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018.

Cressida met her husband during their time at Leeds University, where they briefly dated before parting ways.

After her high-profile relationship with Prince Harry ended, she and Wentworth-Stanley reconnected.

Their renewed romance blossomed, leading to an engagement in August 2019.

In July 2020, the couple married in a private countryside ceremony, with only close family and friends in attendance.

The young couple welcomed their first child, Wilbur, in November, 2022.

In January this year, Cressida happily announced she was expecting their second child, conceived via a frozen embryo from earlier IVF treatment.

‘I am now well into my second pregnancy,’ she said. ‘Having conceived through IVF the first time, we were fortunate to have another embryo stored away in a freezer.’

The expecting mother revealed that this has been a difficult pregnancy.

‘I’ve been battling morning sickness,’ she said. ‘I’ve never had it before, and now feel like I’ve been swaying on a boat for months.’

The couple, who live in west London, are now seeking a bigger home.

Cressida says their pet dachshund, Budgie, ‘is bound to be unimpressed’ by the house move.

‘Not only are we uprooting her territory, but there’s a new family member on the way and she can sense it.’

In 2022, Cressida described how she felt as though ‘my body was failing me’ after facing difficulties in conceiving, and when a specialist told the couple ‘there was nothing fundamentally wrong’.

Writing in The Sunday Times, she said: ‘I spent time and money on reflexology, nutritionists, acupuncture and psychics…Even a German healer who speaks to angels. I heard nothing, not a squeak.

‘My mind was on a constant worry loop and my obsession with getting pregnant became overwhelming. No matter how many Mystic Megs I saw or expensive supplements I took, nothing was working, and I felt as if my body was failing me.’

Cressida admitted to ‘avoiding’ loved one’s children’s parties due to feeling out of place around her friends who had kids, amid the struggle to have her own.

She went on to say that IVF firstly ‘frightened’ her due to having no ‘power’ over the final outcome.
