The latest and unexpected decision made by Cressida Bonas, Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend, has just come to light. This information has surely left the Duke of Sussex truly bewildered.

A few days ago, Cressida opened her heart during a revealing interview for Country & Town House and spoke candidly about what being a mother means to her. She knows this role very well, since, as of today, she is the mother of two children.

"As for motherhood... I pictured a woman sitting under a tree, with a calm baby, wrapped in a blanket under the sun, radiant. But it's not like that, is it?" confessed Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend, days before giving birth to her daughter Delphina.

Meanwhile, this well-known 36-year-old actress and model humorously described how reality is very different from the image she had of this stage of her life. "You've got vomit on your blouse, in your hair, and your child is crying," she added during the conversation.

In addition, aside from this interview, Cressida Bonas has spoken about this topic on several occasions during her recent appearances on the podcast Lessons From Our Mothers. She co-hosts this audiovisual space with her half-sister, Isabella Branson.

On this podcast, Cressida Bonas and Isabella Branson talk, among other things, about topics related to their motherhood and their mother, Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon. They also invite other British figures to exchange reflections on parenthood.

But it was during her interview for Country & Town House when Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend shared a revealing piece of information about her children. This detail left more than one person speechless. "The love I feel for my child is a love I couldn't even describe, it's very visceral, but it's also very challenging."

After her high-profile relationship with Prince Harry, which lasted from 2012 to 2014, Cressida Bonas married real estate investor Harry Wentworth-Stanley in July 2020. The couple currently have two children: Wilber James, who is 2 years old, and newborn Delphina.

As has emerged, her daughter's middle name, Pandora, is a tribute to her half-sister Pandora Cooper-Key, who tragically passed away from cancer in July 2024.

In a recent interview, Cressida Bonas recounted how she experienced motherhood during that loss. "I had no choice but to be present with my child instead of being in that moment of pain," the actress stated.

"The only thing children really want from you isn't for you to be perfect, but for you to be present with them in the moment," Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend added.

Cressida Bonas was Prince Harry's last known partner before he began his relationship with Meghan Markle in 2016. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex married in May 2018 and are parents to Archie, who is 6 years old, and Lilibet, who is 4.
