Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas gets engaged

One of Prince Harry’s ex girlfriends is celebrating some good news.

Cressida Bonas, 30, is engaged to boyfriend Harry Wentworth-Stanley. The estate agent, who works for Savills, confirmed he’d popped the question on his Instagram account.

Taken in Nantucket, Massachusetts, the couple smile at the camera as Cressida shows off her beautiful diamond ring.

Harry captioned the photo: “We getting married.”

Model and actress Cressida dated Prince Harry, 34, from 2012 to 2014, after they were introduced by his cousin Princess Eugenie.

The pair’s split was amicable and Cressida even attended Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding at St George’s Chapel in Windsor in May 2018.

According to biographer, Katie Nicholl, Cressida struggled to deal with the attention that came with being a royal girlfriend.

She wrote in her book, Harry: Life, Loss, and Love: "Cressida had been 'completely spooked' while watching TV coverage of William, Kate and George touring New Zealand and Australia that spring. There was no way she wanted that sort of attention and she told Harry so."

Cressida wasn’t the only ex at the royal wedding. Harry’s former girlfriend and businesswoman Chelsy Davy, 33, (whom he dated from 2004 to 2011) also bagged an invite.
