Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend welcomes new baby with special name | Royal | News


Prince Harry’s former girlfriend, Cressida Bonas, has given birth to her second baby, and is said to have given her a name that is close to her heart. It has been reported that Cressida has given her a name that is a fitting tribute to her half-sister, Pandora Cooper-Key, who tragically passed away last year.

According to the Daily Mail, the model and podcast host has named the newborn Delphina Pandora Wentworth-Stanley, with her middle name a sweet nod to Cressida’s late half-sister. Pandora died last year aged 51 after being diagnosed with cancer as well as an inoperable brain tumour.

Cressida first shared her pregnancy news in January and told the Spectator: “I am now well into my second pregnancy. Having conceived through IVF the first time, we were fortunate to have another embryo stored away in a freezer… I’ve been battling morning sickness. I’ve never had it before, and now feel like I’ve been swaying on a boat for months.”

Cressida previously and bravely shared how she felt her “body was failing” her when she struggled to get pregnant with her first child. Yet, it is understood a specialist told the couple “there was nothing fundamentally wrong”.

Writing in The Sunday Times, Cressida had said: “I spent time and money on reflexology, nutritionists, acupuncture and psychics…Even a German healer who speaks to angels. I heard nothing, not a squeak.

“My mind was on a constant worry loop and my obsession with getting pregnant became overwhelming, No matter how many Mystic Megs I saw or expensive supplements I took, nothing was working, and I felt as if my body was failing me.”

Cressida was introduced to Prince Harry by his close cousin, Princess Eugenie, and they dated from 2012 to 2014. The model attended his royal wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018 and Harry later wrote in his memoir about how “Cress” helped him process the pain of grieving his mother, Princess Diana, when they were together.

Prince Harry also recalled in Spare how Cressida was the one who he broke down in tears to when talking about the loss of his mother on a skiing trip to Switzerland the previous year.

Harry said this was the first time he cried since his mother, Princess Diana’s burial. He wrote: “Wiping my tears, I thanked her. She was the first person to help me across that barrier, to help me unleash the teats. It was cathartic, it accelerated our bond, and added an element rare in past relationships: immense gratitude.”

Despite this understanding, he also realised he was not meant to be with her. He further added: “I was indebted to Cress, and that was the reason why, when we got home from Kazakhstan, I felt so miserable, because at some point during that ski trip I’d realised that we weren’t a match.”

In Spare, Harry also revealed how he considered marrying Cressida, and that his brother Prince William and Kate had “mentioned, pointedly, repeatedly, how much they liked Cressida”.
