Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas is pregnant with her second child, according to reports.
The actress, who married property investor Harry Wentworth-Stanley in 2020, says she used an embryo she had frozen following struggles to conceive her first child, two-year-old Wilbur.
Cressida, 35, is reported to have said: "I am now well into my second pregnancy. Having conceived through IVF the first time, we were fortunate to have another embryo stored away in a freezer... I’ve been battling morning sickness. I’ve never had it before, and now feel like I’ve been swaying on a boat for months."
Cressida lives in west London with her husband but the couple are now looking to move to a larger home, the Daily Mail reports. The actress's joyful news comes years after she said her "body was failing" her when she struggled to get pregnant. Yet, it is understood a specialist told the couple "there was nothing fundamentally wrong".

"My mind was on a constant worry loop and my obsession with getting pregnant became overwhelming, No matter how many Mystic Megs I saw or expensive supplements I took, nothing was working, and I felt as if my body was failing me."
But in July 2022, Cressida, also a model, confirmed she had fallen pregnant after undergoing IVF, and she gave birth to Wilbur in November of that year. Now, she and her property investor husband, from a family of Hertfordshire aristocracies, are preparing for their second.
Cressida had dated Harry for around two years until they split amicably in April 2014. Harry had been introduced to Cressida, who has been in several West End plays including The Great Gatsby, by his cousin Princess Eugenie. Cressida was a guest at Harry and Meghan's wedding in 2018.
The star's joy early this year contrasts with her difficult 2024, during which her half-sister, Pandora Cooper-Key, passed away at the age of 51 from cancer. Cressida played a key role in a memorial service for Pandora, which took place on Friday, September 19, 2024, paying an emotional tribute to her "darling sister".
