Wentworth-Stanley’s mother, a former journalist, also has a number of royal connections. She was a friend of Princess Diana’s and her close relationship with Sarah Ferguson also meant Wentworth-Stanley was close to Fergie’s daughters, Princess Beatrice andPrincess Eugenie.

Wentworth-Stanley works for real estate firm Savills as an associate and surveyor, according to hisprofile on the company’s website.
“Harry joined Savills as a graduate in 2012 and now specialises in the acquisition and disposal of residential and mixed-use development opportunities in London,” according to his bio. “Whilst on the Savills graduate programme Harry worked in a number of teams, including planning and development viability, before deciding to settle in the land team where he focuses on development opportunities in west London. Prior to joining Savills, Harry worked for a developer in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which prompted his interest in the industry.”
A source close toPrince Harry, 34, and Bonasconfirmed their split to PEOPLEin late April 2014 after two years of dating, saying that it was “amicable” and adding that Bonas was hoping to concentrate on her career.
“Cressida has been a bit wobbly about the whole situation for quite some time,” addedMajestymagazine’s editor-in-chief, Ingrid Seward. “Not about him, but about the whole situation and really if it is what she wants.”
A friend told PEOPLE shortly after the breakup, “She is a lovely girl, and a beautiful girl, but this has run its course. It wasn’t to be.”

The former couple’s amicable parting extended into May 2018, when Bonas (as well as another ex of Prince Harry’s,Chelsy Davy) attended thewedding of the royal andhis now-wifeMeghan Markle.
Arriving at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle ahead of the nuptials, Bonas wore a pink-and-green striped dress from British designer EPONINE London with a feathered fascinator — the latter of which was, surprisingly,the thing she was most anxious aboutleading up to the event.
“Most of the time I avoid headgear. This can prompt disapproving looks from the older generations. Last weekend I attended the royal wedding. The invitation clearly stated that guests must wear hats. Yikes,” she joked in a column forU.K. magazineThe Spectatorlater that month.
Bonas added, “I opted for a minimal feathered number — and can only hope I got it right.”
