Cressida and Harry, pictured in 2017, dated in college before rekindling their romance after she split from Prince Harry.
Harry Wentworth-Stanley, associate director of Savills estate agency, is the son of Nick Wentworth-Stanley, a dapper old Etonian, and Clare, now the Marchioness of Milford Haven, who acquired the title after her second marriage to Harry’s stepfather, the Marquess of Milford Haven.
Before his relationship with his now-wife became official, Harry, who is elegantly handsome and 6ft 4in tall, was considered one of London’s most eligible bachelors.
She inherited her looks from her mother, Clare, a beauty that is still stunning. There was a brother, James, four years older than him, and a younger sister, Louisa. When Harry was a child, his mother and his father divorced. In 1997, Clare married George, Marquess of Milford Haven, the Queen’s cousin, divorced with two children.
The family settled in Great Trippetts, a property located on 1,000 acres on the Sussex Downs. For a while, life was perfect. Clare herself was on good terms with her ex-husband, Nick Wentworth-Stanley, who married Dutch beauty Millie Brenninkmeyer, with whom she had three more children.
Shortly before Christmas 2006, the Marquess and Marquess and their children came to stay with Nick and his wife in Worcestershire. James, Harry’s older brother, was recovering from a relatively minor procedure. The operation was a success, but James became very anxious in the days that followed.

One night, the family discovered that James had taken his own life. They were devastated by the tragedy.
Clare was shocked by her son’s suicide. Poignantly, it was Harry, then 17, who helped her through it. She said in an interview 18 months after James’ death: “For the sake of the other kids, you have to set an example.” If you are strong, it gives them permission to be strong. If you fall apart, they will.

“The day after James died, his brother Harry said that his biggest fear was that he would destroy me and that it would destroy everything else. It suddenly made me feel how important it was.
the family settled james place in his memory, a men’s suicide prevention charity that now runs centers in London and Liverpool.
The couple had a serious relationship when they were both students at the University of Leeds. The pair were known for their crowd, for reasons that aren’t entirely clear, as ‘Water-Cress’. The romance ended when she took a gap year in Argentina in 2011 after graduating.
Friends previously said that Cressida was not over Harry when another Harry, Prince Harry himself, began pursuing her in the summer of 2012 and a romance began. There were concerts, rugby matches, ski trips and cozy nights at Kensington Palace.
However, the couple broke up in 2014 after three years together.
The following year, Harry Wentworth-Stanley and Cressida were photographed on a Valentine’s Day date, although their relationship became public and official in 2017.
In August of last year, Harry proposed to her during a trip to the US, and the couple’s smiles in the Instagram announcement told followers all they needed to know about their love for each other.
