Prince Harry’s Ex-Girlfriend Just Tied the Knot in a Secret Wedding

Remember when Prince Harry dated Cressida Bonas back in 2012? Well, the royal’s ex-girlfriend is officially off the market.

Over the weekend, Bonas tied the knot with her fiancé, Harry Wentworth-Stanley, according to E! News. The newlyweds haven’t publicly addressed the marriage (at least not yet)—instead, the bride’s brother, Jacobi Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe, broke the news by sharing a photo on his now-private Instagram account (@jacobiagc).

Per reports, the pic featured the couple riding horses in full-blown wedding attire. While Bonas wore a stunning white dress, Wentworth-Stanley donned a classic tux. The caption read, “Mr. & Mrs. My small riding off into her beautiful future with her Harry Hat.”

We first learned about the engagement back in August 2019, when Wentworth-Stanley posted a photo on Instagram and wrote, “We getting married.” A few months later, Bonas teased the upcoming wedding ceremony on social media.

Although we don’t know if the nuptials were affected by the coronavirus pandemic (like with Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi), it didn’t seem to hinder their special day.

Bonas must have a thing for Harrys, since she previously dated Prince Harry back in 2012. The couple called it quits after two years, with reports claiming that Bonas wasn’t a fit for the royal family simply because she was too young and, therefore, unreliable. The breakup wasn’t a huge surprise, since Prince Harry was considered a “party boy” at the time and—according to the queen—needed to change. *Cue Meghan Markle*

One question remains: Will Prince Harry send Bonas a wedding gift?
