Prince Harry's relationship with Cressida Bonas may have ended in 2014, but sources say she remains a close friend to many members of the royal family. Their two-year romance, which began in 2012, left a lasting impression.
According to an insider, Cressida is even a confidante to Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle. "Cressida has always been a part of the aristocratic set and it's not like she and Harry had a bad break-up," the source explained.
Harry detailed their relationship in his memoir, Spare, recalling a "painfully awkward" first kiss. He also shared how Cressida helped him grieve the death of his mother, Princess Diana.
Despite their deep connection, Harry ended the relationship, realizing it wasn't "love everlasting." Cressida is now married to Harry Wentworth-Stanley and pregnant with their second child.
The source notes Cressida's continued close ties with Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice, Prince William, and Kate Middleton. She's described as "easygoing and likable," avoiding gossip and drama.
Cressida's presence at Harry's wedding to Meghan speaks volumes about her standing with the family. However, the source suggests that the launch of Cressida's podcast, coinciding with Meghan's own venture, could potentially cause tension.
