Cressida Bonas, known for her previous relationship with Prince Harry, has exciting news—she’s expecting her second child with her husband, Harry Wentworth-Stanley. Bonas made the announcement in a recent essay for the Spectator magazine, revealing that she is well into her pregnancy. After using IVF for her first pregnancy, they were fortunate enough to have a frozen embryo stored, which has now led to this new addition.
In her essay, Bonas expressed her fascination with the science of frozen embryos, describing it as incredible that a small collection of cells can be preserved for years and then come to life. The model and actress currently has a 2-year-old son named Wilbur, and she mentioned that this pregnancy feels different due to experiencing morning sickness for the first time. She shared that the morning sickness has left her feeling unsteady, as if she has been on a boat for months.
Bonas and Wentworth-Stanley, who married in July 2020, are also looking to move to a new home, a decision that brings a mix of emotions for Bonas. She nostalgically recalled their journey of moving in as newlyweds and welcoming their first child, all while feeling excitement about what the future holds for their growing family.
The couple has faced challenges in their journey to parenthood. Bonas previously discussed the struggles she encountered while trying to conceive Wilbur, touching on the extensive efforts she made over two long years, including various fertility treatments and alternative therapies. Her openness about these experiences was aimed at alleviating the stigma often associated with infertility.
Before her marriage, Bonas had a two-year romance with Harry, whom she met through his cousin, Princess Eugenie. Harry reflected fondly on Bonas in his memoir, “Spare,” recalling the support she provided during his grieving process after the loss of his mother, Princess Diana. Since their breakup in 2014, Bonas and Wentworth-Stanley have maintained a relationship with the royal family, even attending Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in 2018.
As Bonas embarks on this new chapter in her life, fans of both her and the royal family are sure to follow her journey with great interest.
