Just a bit about Cressida Bonas

You know, that girl who almost married Harry

Harry and Meghan. So inseparable that you would almost think there has never been another. But believe me, that Harry, he has eagerly grazed from the English hills. And taste cannot be denied him either. Because before Meghan, he had another traffic-stopper, as the Brits say. Cressida Curzon Bonas. You know, whose outfits I praised so much yesterday. I am enchanted. I want to know everything. About her. About her family. Everything. Here are some facts that are too good not to share.

• The meeting
• Harry and Cressida were introduced to each other by Princess Beatrice (the daughter of Andrew and Sarah Ferguson) in 2012.
• Cressida was quite a catch. For Harry, the perfect balance between British aristocracy (her grandfather was the eighth Earl Howe, her mother of noble descent, and her father a businessman).
• Cressida inherited her it genes from her mother, Mary-Gaye Curzon, the woman so beautiful that she was called the ‘social magnet’ of England. She married four times and spent her life mainly partying, eating, and traveling.
  Cressida has seven half-siblings; three half-brothers from her father's first marriage, a half-sister from her mother's first marriage, and two half-sisters and a half-brother from her mother's second marriage. One of them is the actress Isabella Calthorpe. Are you still there?
• Cressida herself completed the conservatory in dance at the University of Leeds, and then at the conservatory of Greenwich.
• Cressida, in short, is a lovely girl. With the looks of her mother and a taste and style befitting a London it-girl.

What went wrong?

The story doesn't tell that. However, we do know that they broke up ‘amicably’ in 2014 and are still such good friends that she was invited to Harry's wedding.

This makes it even more beautiful

Harry found Meghan, Cressida found Harry. Another one. Harry Wentworth-Stanley to be precise. And he is quite a charmer. The son of the Marquess of Milford Haven, who is related to Queen Elizabeth. A big guy, this Harry. He swims at an Olympic level, can ski incredibly well, and of course plays a great game of polo. And he's also a sweetheart.

His brother, oh drama, shot himself in the head a few years ago just before Christmas on the family estate. To turn his grief into something useful, Harry started a foundation. Rowforjames.com is intended to help people with depression. What did Harry himself do? He rowed across the Atlantic Ocean with three friends in 39 days.

After May 19, I will surely be so excited about this wedding. Will you join in the excitement?
