Prince Harry’s ex Cressida Bonas shares rare photos of adventurous son Wilbur
The actress dated Prince Harry for two years before rekindling her relationship with her university sweetheart
Cressida Bonas’ fans can count on one hand the number of times she’s shared photos of her son Wilbur.
The actress, 35, is notoriously private about her family life with Harry Wentworth-Stanley, but she made an exception on Father’s Day to post cute pictures of their little boy exploring in the sunshine.
Dressed in a long-sleeved top layered underneath a blue romper, Wilbur sported a mop of platinum blonde hair as he stood next to a fence separating the meadows. On the other side, a curious horse slowly made its way towards Cressida’s one-year-old son in the series of photos, which ended with Wilbur stroking its nose.
“The boy and the horse… I’m not sure what these two were chatting about, but it looked important,” the doting mother captioned the adorable photos, which many described as “beautiful” and “precious.”

The actress said they struggled to conceive for two years before turning to IVF. “I spent time and money on reflexology, nutritionists, acupuncture and psychics…Even a German healer who speaks to angels,” she wrote exclusively in The Sunday Times.
