Prince Harry’s ex girlfriend Cressida Bonas shared first Instagram photo of her baby on the same day his book revealed she helped him cry about Diana for the first time in 17 years
Prince Harry‘s ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas posted an adorable snap of her snuggling with her new baby son and sausage dog after Harry’s book revealed intimate details about their relationship.
The model and actress, 33, gave birth to a baby boy in November last year with her husband Harry Wentworth-Stanley, also 33.
Lying on a couch wearing a grey sweater, Cressida posted the sweet photo on Instagram with the caption: ‘Welcoming 2023 with these 2 treasures. Happy new year everybody!’
The post comes as Harry’s memoir Spare, which accidentally went on sale in Spain yesterday, describes details of his childhood, family life and past relationships, including those with Cressida Bonas and Chelsy Davy.

While on a skiing holiday with Cressida (often referred to as ‘Cress’ in the book) in 2014, Harry reveals how he cried for the first time since his mother’s funeral about the death of Princess Diana during a discussion with his former love.
He wrote that he told Cressida: ‘It’s the first time I have been able to cry about my mother since her funeral.’
The Duke added: ‘She had been the first person to help me cross that barrier and give an outlet to my tears.’
Harry said that she had not wanted the stresses of royal life and described breaking up with Cressida at her friend’s house after the trip.

The pair were together on-and-off between 2012 and 2014 and grew close after first meeting at a music festival.
With a wedding thought to be on the way, the Duchess of Cambridge was even said to be helping shy Cressida learn how to handle to the intensity of the royal spotlight.
But the actress later dismissed all that as mere ‘noise’, explaining in an interview: ‘All that stuff is not real. It’s really important to remember that all it is noise, noise that can be very loud at times.’

She slotted into the royal family well and is friends with both Princess Beatrice and Eugenie, the latter of whom is said to have introduced her to Harry in 2010.
Cressida is the daughter of renowned Sixties It girl Lady Mary Gaye Curzon (whose father was the 6th Earl Howe) and Old Harrovian Jeffrey Bonas (her mother’s third husband), who owns a fabric company called MacCulloch & Wallis.
Cressida went on to marry her husband Harry Wentworth-Stanley in 2020 and has spoken about her journey with IVF after welcoming her first child.
In an article published by The Sunday Times, Cressida described how she felt as though ‘my body was failing me’ after facing difficulties in conceiving, and when a specialist told the couple ‘there was nothing fundamentally wrong’.
She admitted to ‘avoiding’ loved one’s children’s parties due to feeling out of place around her friends who had kids, amid the struggle to have her own.
