Prince Harry's ex, Cressida Bonas, attended a wedding over the weekend looking magnificent in a sparkling one-shoulder dress. Cressida, who is married to Harry Wentworth-Stanley, turned heads and attracted comments online due to her outfit. Users remarked that Cressida looked so classy compared to Harry's wife, Princess Meghan Markle.
Cressida Bonas, Prince Harry's former girlfriend, turned heads with her elegant appearance at billionaire David Winter's wedding to Georgia Irwin in Venice on May 25, 2024.
The 35-year-old actress was photographed leaving The Gritti Palace Hotel on the Grand Canal to board a boat heading to the luxurious wedding venue on La Certosa Island. The island is in the Venetian Lagoon, located 500 meters northeast of Venice.
Cressida dazzled in a shimmering bronze one-shoulder dress that featured a daring thigh-high split. To enhance her look, she wore a delicate necklace and golden drop earrings, adding a touch of glamour.
Her blonde hair, styled with bangs, was perfectly blow-dried in a chic '60s style, completing her stunning ensemble. The actress walked confidently and greeted the other wedding guests warmly.
Following Cressida's stylish appearance, social media users were quick to compare her to Princess Meghan Markle, Harry's wife. Comments flooded in, highlighting Cressida's elegance and style.
One fan remarked, "She looks so classy compared to Meghan who looks really rough these days." A particularly enthusiastic fan also concurred, "WoW. Way more beautiful 😁." Another fan summed the sentiment of many, saying, "The one who got away! The perfect one."
Some users speculated on what could have been between Harry and Cressida, with comments such as, "He should marry her!" This comment didn't sit well with users who felt Cressida was of a higher class than Harry.
One such user wrote, "She's very pretty, too pretty for Harry," while another with a similar opinion added, "She was too smart for Harry!" A third user chimed in "What a beauty, class, and elegance."
While many praised Cressida Bonas' appearance, others defended Harry's choices. One user commented, "Harry made his choice and is happy. If he married her, she would also be public enemy no.1 just like Meghan is now."
Others reflected on Harry's previous relationships, noting the intelligence of his exes. "I liked Chelsy and Cressida, pretty faces, nice girls but they had no style whatsoever. However, they were very intelligent to see there would be problems with the in-law so they better ran away on time," one user observed.
Even as users speculate on what could have been between Harry and Cressida, the two now live separate lives. The two first met when Princess Eugenia introduced Cressida to Harry and dated from 2012 to 2014 before breaking up.
However, Harry and Cressida remained close even after parting ways, with Cressida attending his wedding to Meghan on May 19, 2018, in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle in the UK.
Now, Harry and Meghan enjoy their lives in California, US with their two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Cressida also got married in July 2020 to her loving husband Harry Hentworth-Stanley, the son of the Marchioness of Milford Haven, at the exclusive Cowdray Park, in Midhurst, West Sussex.
Cressida's husband is an associate director at estate agents Savills. The two went public and official with their relationship in 2017, with the actress's husband proposing to her in August 2019 and they got married a year later.
The lovebirds share glimpses into their lives on their Instagram accounts. On May 6, 2023, Cressida shared a series of pictures of herself and her husband, wishing him a happy birthday. She wrote, "Happy birthday to this guy 👆🏼! I sure am a lucky gal 🤍💫🥳🎂💫🎂."
Just like how users compared Meghan to Cressida, they couldn't help but compare the actress's husband to Prince Harry. A user wrote, "He is more handsome than Harry 😍." Another user said that at a, "Glance, he looks like prince harry."
Cressida and her husband also posed with their baby, Wilbur James Wentworth-Stanley, whom the actress gave birth to in November 2022. The estate agent carried their son in a baby carrier on his chest as they took pictures around their home.
In January 2023, Cressida was excited to be welcoming the new year with her baby boy and their dog, whom she called her treasures. She shared a cozy picture nestling with her child and the family dog, looking happy and peaceful.
Just like Harry and Meghan, Cressida found her true love in her husband, and together they have built a loving and cozy family that they cherish deeply.
