Prince Harry’s former girlfriend Cressida Bonas is said to have given birth to a daughter, her second child, and given her a name that is close to her heart

Prince Harry’s former girlfriend has given birth to her second child – and is said to have given her newborn a very poignant name. Cressida Bonas, who dated the Duke of Sussex for two years before they split, revealed earlier this year she was expecting a a second child with her husband, Harry Wentworth-Stanley.

She opened up about how she had used an embryo she had frozen following struggles to conceive her first child, two-year-old son Wilbur. And now it has been reported that Cressida has given birth to a daughter and given her a name that is a fitting tribute to her half-sister, Pandora Cooper-Key, who passed away last year.

According to the Daily Mail, the model and actress has named the newborn Delphina Pandora Wentworth-Stanley, with her middle name a sweet nod to Cressida’s late half-sister.

Pandora died last year aged 51 after being diagnosed with cancer as well as an inoperable brain tumour. Throughout Pandora’s life, she had always lived with the risk of developing certain types of cancer, due to being affected by a condition called Li-Fraumeni, a rare genetic disorder, according to The Times.

Cressida shared her pregnancy news in January and told the Spectator: “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.”

She previously shared how she felt 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”.

Writing in The Sunday Times, Cressida had said: “I spent time and money on reflexology, nutritionists, acupuncture and psychics…Even a German healer who speaks to angels. I heard nothing, not a squeak.

“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 confirmed she was pregnant after undergoing IVF, and she gave birth to Wilbur in November of that year.

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.

They split when Cressida reportedly became overwhelmed with the spotlight that came with dating a royal.

A Loose Women presenter has opened up on the “humiliating” process of having to sell some of her belongings, as she prepares to downsize amid the uncertainty of the ITV job cuts

Loose Women’s Kaye Adams has opened up about the “humiliating” process of selling her belongings as she prepares to downsize amidst ongoing job cuts at ITV. She admits that while she had initially signed up for reality show The Yorkshire Auction House some time ago, the “humbling” experience has now become more of a pressing need.

The programme features expert auctioneer Angus Ashworth visiting people’s homes and appraising items for sale at auction. Occasionally, the experts have the unenviable task of revealing that family heirlooms may not be as valuable as hoped.

“It’s quite humbling, actually,” Kaye said in her How To Be 60 podcast. “I had earmarked the kind of things that I thought they could take, because I’ve got a lot of stuff that was in my mum and dad’s house that I’ve held on to.”

While her partner, tennis coach Ian Campbell, was rather nonchalant about what Angus and his team might cart away, Kaye admitted to being more sentimental about some of the pieces: “I wasn’t sure about the grand piano, because I love the baby grand piano,” she shared with her podcast co-host Karen MacKenzie.

There were also pieces of furniture that held deep sentimental value for Kaye: “My dad’s chair is the ugliest thing, but what I loved was the image of my dad sitting on that chair,” she reminisced. ” I liked the image of my dad sitting in it with a glass of whiskey, in front of a roaring fire.”

Some other items stirred a bit of disappointment as well, like a hefty desk that Kaye’s daughter had believed was meant for her, but that hiccup was swiftly resolved, Kaye said: “It was okay because the next day the guy said, ‘Nobody will give you anything for that.’ Nobody wants big dark furniture, apparently.”

Kaye also spoke about the necessity of being at the auction, a situation she found “humiliating”. She further complained that if the items fail to sell, “You just slink off with your tail between your legs in your hire van,” and then face the cost of having the auction house dispose of them.

However, some of Kaye’s belongings did pique the interest of the auctioneers, particularly because mid-century modern pieces – especially Ercol designs from the Sixties and Seventies – are currently sought after.

“I had these two leather chairs,” she revealed. “They look like they come out of a Los Angeles brothel in 1979…sort of tan colour. I bought them about 20 years ago in a shop in Edinburgh. He’s quite excited by those.”

Additionally, Kaye has a collection of Lladró ceramic figurines passed down from her mother. Certain unique creations from the Spanish brand can fetch upwards of £10,000.

Kaye has admitted she had a “few sleepless nights” after news broke of the major shake-up in ITV’s daytime schedule.

The popular daytime show Loose Women is set to air for only 30 weeks a year, a significant cut from its usual full-year schedule. Kaye expressed her concerns in a previous podcast episode, stating: “It’s going to have an impact,” and added: “Lots of people will lose their jobs completely, which is terrible.”

Kaye confessed that the drastic changes, affecting not just Loose Women but also Lorraine Kelly’s programme, caught her off guard: “I didn’t anticipate it, which is probably stupid in retrospect, but you get into a sort of rhythm of life..”

ITV is bracing for the departure of approximately 220 staff from its daytime lineup, including GMB, Lorraine, This Morning, and Loose Women. Rumours suggest that along with production crew redundancies, there might be fewer panellists.

Nadia Sawalha, a fellow presenter, remarked on the uncertainty of her position, saying she “could be let go tomorrow, [or] in five years.”

Despite the upheaval, Kaye is trying to stay positive, sharing her mindset: “I gave myself a talking-to and I listened to my own advice for once. Change is hard, but it can be good.

According to a royal insider, the high-profile celebrities who attended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in 2018 were invited for one key reason

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got married in 2018, the guest list included everyone from royal family members, close friends and a wide array of the Hollywood elite.

Harry and Meghan tied the knot in St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on May 19th 2018, with thousands of people descended onto the streets of Windsor to catch a glimpse of the royal newlyweds, while millions of people from around the world watched the nuptials from home. In comparison to other royal weddings, one unique feature of Harry and Meghan’s guest list stood out: the sheer amount of high-profile celebrities.

Among the famous faces in the congregation were Oprah, George and Amal Clooney, Victoria and David Beckham, Kris Jenner, Idris Elba, Priyanka Chopra, Elton John, and various members from the cast of Suits, who all received gold-embossed invitations for the big day.

Despite the crowd being filled with celebrities, one royal author has claimed that Meghan and Harry didn’t actually know many of the A-listers invited. Instead, it is claimed those lucky enough to receive an invitation only did so Meghan could “recruit” the celebs as new friends.

In her 2022 book called The Palace Papers, royal author Tina Brown wrote: “The celebrity guests were a portrait not of Meghan’s intimate circle but of the friends she most wanted to recruit.”

Ms Brown said that Meghan “scarcely” knew Oprah Winfrey before the royal wedding, having only met once or twice. Oprah eventually went on to be the face of the infamous 2021 interview with Meghan, in which she shared her scathing thoughts on the Firm and how she was treated during her time as a working royal.

The royal author also recalled an intimate conversation overheard from the church pews, with Boris Johnson ’s sister Rachel alleging that Princess Diana ’s former flatmate turned to George and Amal Clooney alongside her in the pew and asked how they knew Harry or Meghan, to which they responded brightly: “We don’t.”

During the wedding, Mr and Mrs Clooney were given seats for the special ceremony right next to Lady Carolyn Warren, the wife of the late Queen’s bloodstock adviser John Warren, and opposite Princess Margaret’s son, Viscount Linley.

Despite the calibre of her wedding guest list, Meghan has seemingly failed to foster lasting relationships with some the celebs after her big day, as none of her wedding guests appeared on her Netflix programme With Love, Meghan.

Viewers largely expected her to bring in the likes of Oprah, tennis superstar Serena Williams and filmmaker Tyler Perry – who is godfather to Princess Lilibet – as guests on her lifestyle show.

Instead, guests featured names such as Meghan’s former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, Delfina Figueras – socialite wife of Harry’s polo-playing chum Nacho – and chef Roy Choi

The biggest stars to appear in the show were Harry himself – who had a few minutes of airtime in the final episode in the eight-part series – and actress, writer and producer Mindy Kaling, who appears in the second episode.

He could barely walk, let alone run or cycle, after tearing his calf, but was determined to make it all the way to the finish line.

Just a few kilometres from the end of day one’s marathon, Sam felt a pop in his calf. He pushed through the pain, torrential rain, and mental struggles as he finished the gruelling challenge. This week, he’s been focusing on getting better in order to play the the match this weekend.
