Prince Harry's Ex-Girlfriend Gets Candid About Their Break Up For The First Time

Tabloids have speculated over Cressida Bonas and Prince Harry’s break-up for years, with some wild headlines appearing as a result. Headlines spread rumors of cheating, royal-family shunning, royal-family conspiracies — the list goes on. But now, years later, Cressida Bonas is finally opening up about why she broke off from the royals...and whether or not she regrets it.

Cressida Bonas, Actress

Bonas’ acting roles have often explored the nature of fear: In a stage production of The Great Gatsby, she played Daisy, Gatsby’s shallow and regretful ex-lover, and she was also in the horror film The Bye Bye Man.

White House Farm

Still, it’s Bonas’ performance in the TV series White House Farm that garnered her the most praise. The series, which is about the infamous 1985 White House Farm murders, forced Bonas to confront life’s most fearsome moments head-on.

And by 2020, Bonas had also gained a large audience through her podcast Fear Itself, in which she asks celebrities to explain their biggest fears. Still, even as an aspiring actress, it’s Bonas’ personal life that has forced her to confront her own troubles, and all because of her famous ex.

The Two Harrys

Nowadays, Bonas knows exactly what she wants. “I won’t have a huge wedding, that’s not really us,” she said of her and her fiance, Harry Wentworth-Stanley. Clearly, it’s a good thing she didn’t end up marrying the other Harry in her life — Prince Harry.
