Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas is expecting her second child with her husband, Harry Wentworth-Stanley.
“I am now well into my second pregnancy,” Bonas announced in an essay for the Spectator magazine published Thursday.
“Having conceived through IVF the first time, we were fortunate to have another embryo stored away in a freezer,” she wrote. “It is incredible that a tiny cluster of frozen cells, already a life, can survive, suspended in time for years. The science behind the process continues to amaze me.”
The 35-year-old model shared that this pregnancy feels different from her first because she is suffering from morning sickness.
“I’ve never had it before and now feel like I’ve been swaying on a boat for months,” she shared.
Bonas added that she and Wentworth-Stanley, 35, are looking for new digs, evoking bittersweet feelings.
“I have mixed emotions about leaving the little space we’ve lived in for so long,” she penned. “I’ll have lasting memories of us moving in as newlyweds, building our first home together and having a baby. Yet I’m equally excited at the thought of the next stage.”
The couple, who married in July 2020, are already parents to a 2-year-old son, Wilbur.
Bonas opened up in a December 2020 article about undergoing in vitro fertilization after struggling to conceive.
In a piece for the Sunday Times, the blue blood revealed she had undergone tests, acupuncture, reflexology, tried intrauterine insemination and “even a German healer who speaks to angels” in the “two long years” she spent trying to start a family.
She decided to come forward to lessen the “burden of shame that comes with infertility.”
Before marrying Wentworth-Stanley, Bonas dated Harry, to whom she was introduced by the prince’s cousin Princess Eugenie in May 2012.
The former couple dated for nearly two years before amicably breaking up in April 2014.
Harry, 40, wrote lovingly of his ex in his 2023 memoir, “Spare,” sharing that “Cress” had helped him deal with his grief over the 1997 death of his mother, Princess Diana.
Bonas and Wentworth-Stanley were guests at Harry and Meghan Markle’s May 2018 wedding.
