Cressida Bonas, the last woman Prince Harry publicly dated before meeting Meghan Markle, is expecting her second child.
The 36-year-old actress and model revealed her baby bump on Thursday at a chic event in London to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.
The private gathering was held at NEXUS, a South Kensington members' club.
Dressed in a stylish green-and-white polka dot silk jumpsuit, Bonas added a burst of colour with a cropped yellow jumper, wearing her blonde hair in soft waves and keeping her makeup minimal.
The striking beauty is the only child of 1960s "it girl" Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon and entrepreneur Jeffrey Bonas, and is part of a sprawling blended family that includes seven half-siblings- among them Isabella Branson, who is married to Sam Branson, son of billionaire Richard Branson.
Cressida and Prince Harry, 40, were introduced in 2012 by Princess Eugenie and dated for two years.
Their relationship was covered extensively in Harry's 2023 memoir Spare, including the Prince's memory of a "painfully awkward" first kiss.
"I leaned in to give her a kiss, but my aim was off," the prince recalled.
"She turned, I tried again on the return trip and we managed something like a graze.
"But then came the good news," he continued. "Cressida was game to try again."
Harry also recounted emotionally intimate conversations he had with Cressida about the death of his late mother, Princess Diana.
"She was the first person to help me across that barrier, to help me unleash the tears," Harry wrote, revealing that it was the first time he had cried over Diana since her death in 1997.
"It was cathartic, it accelerated our bond and added an element rare in past relationships: immense gratitude."
Sadly, fate had different plans for the pair, who ended their relationship amicably after about two years of dating in 2014.
Cressida attended the wedding of Harry to American actress Meghan Markle in 2018, alongside his other high-profile ex, Chelsy Davy.
In 2020, she married property investor Harry Wentworth-Stanley, and two years later they welcomed their first child, Wilbur James Wentworth-Stanley.
The couple have been open about their journey with IVF, which is how both their children have been conceived.
In a recent interview with HELLO! magazine, Cressida said: "I have a toddler and another one on the way in less than two months, and I'm definitely feeling it.
"Motherhood is full of contradictions; it can be very challenging but can then be magical. It's the hardest thing I've ever done, and the best thing I've ever done."
Cressida attended Thursday's event with her half-sister Isabella, with whom she recently launched a podcast titled Lessons From Our Mothers.
Earlier this month, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie appeared on the podcast to reflect on their own experiences with motherhood and their relationship with their mum, Sarah 'Fergie' Ferguson.
Notably, the York sisters have yet to appear on any of Meghan Markle's podcast projects, including her latest, Lessons of a Female Founder.
