Royal wedding: Cressida Bonas arrives at St George's Chapel

Cressida is an actress who recently played Sheila Caffell in the ITV drama White House Farm. She described her “perfectly imperfect” wedding to property investor Harry Wentworth-Stanley, who is the son of the Marchioness of Milford Haven, a former Tatler Social Editor. The couple tied the knot in a very intimate ceremony with just 30 people in attendance.

Coronavirus restrictions meant no hymns could be sung or wind instruments played.

Cressida also explained how, on the day of the wedding, she had a stye on her eye that now needs to be operated on, it was a horrible rainy day, and they got lost on the way to the church, turning up 40 minutes late.

However, the fact that it was such a small, private event meant it was “simply special” for those who were there.

She described how when she clapped eyes on Harry “everything fell into place”.

However, Cressida previously dated Prince Harry, who she was introduced to by Princess Eugenie in 2012.

The Duke of Sussex’s biographer Chris Hutchins once branded Cressida “the most suitable person the Prince had ever had in his life”.

Mr Hutchins told the 2014 ITV documentary ‘Prince Harry at 30’: “Cressida’s love for Harry came not from the fact he was the Queen’s grandson.

“She wasn’t interested in that ‒ she comes from a very grand ancestry herself.

“The fly in the ointment was he would have married her for sure by now, but she had no wishes to be a princess.”

Royal correspondent Chrissie Reeves added: “She didn’t really seem to like the press.

“The only time we saw her pose was just on one occasion at an event and she was very much dressed down with skinny jeans and trainers.”

The couple dated for two years before separating amicably in 2014.

She was even a guest at Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018.

Unlike Cressida, Prince Harry’s now-wife Meghan Markle has been accused of enjoying the attention from the media.

Royal filmmaker Nick Bullen told Fox News last year: “She’s aware of the media attention she possesses and she’s not afraid to use it.”

He added: “She knew what she was marrying into ‒ this is not a girl who was unaware of the power of the press.

“I think, unlike 19-year-old Lady Diana Spencer from all those years ago, who was overwhelmed with the attention, Meghan knew what she was getting into.

“I think it was possibly bigger than what she realised, but my understanding from people who knew her years ago and people who are working with her now, she’s handling it very well.

“In fact, she’s enjoying it. This is what she thrives on.”

Ironically, when Meghan admitted she was struggling with the scrutiny in the ITV documentary ‘Harry & Meghan: An African Journey’ last year, she said: “It’s not enough to just survive something, right?

“That’s not the point of life. You’ve got to thrive. You’ve got to feel happy.”

Meanwhile, an estranged family member Joseph Johnson ‒ half-brother of Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland ‒ claimed Meghan “loves” the fame and adulation associated with being a royal.

However, Meghan has insisted that she and Harry wish to have a more private life, and that was the reason for their stepping down as senior royals at the end of March.

They now live in Montecito, California, where they will be making a career in producing content for Netflix, as well as work through their new venture Archewell.

Cressida, meanwhile, has married Harry Wentworth-Stanley, who she actually dated before the prince.

The couple got engaged last year and married recently in a wedding that was hurriedly put-together in just two weeks.
