Cressida was first spotted with a baby bump at the wedding of  Lady Tatiana Mountbatten, daughter of the Queen’s cousin the Marquess of Milford Haven, over the weekend. 

Typically understated, Cressida stepped out in a pink pleated maxi skirt, white V-neck blouse and a black blazer that skimmed over her baby bump.

She finished the look with a simple pendant necklace, stack of gold bangles, and a red flower headband. 

It comes just a week after Cressida and estate agent Harry set tongues wagging when they shared a photo with their godson. The candid snap of the trio cuddling on the sofa prompted one fan to ask: ‘Will you be starting a family one day?’

Harry Wentworth-Stanley is the son of Clare Mountbatten, Marchioness of Milford Haven, and her first husband Nicholas Philip Wentworth-Stanley. 

It came almost exactly two years after Cressida and Harry’s nuptials. The couple tied the knot at the exclusive Cowdray Park, in Midhurst, West Sussex, on July 27, 2020, when just 30 guests were allowed at weddings due to Covid-10 restrictions. 

Only a handful of photos of the private nuptials emerged at the time, including one of the bride and groom riding off into the sunset on horseback. Cressida later revealed she wore a  a £599 Whistles frock she previously sported in a James Arthur music video. 

Cowdray estate comprises 16,500 acres and includes the pitches where Harry and William played polo, while also boasting a golf course, farm shop, cafe and holiday cottages.

The stunning 19th century Cowdray House can be rented out for weddings of up to 150 people. 

The estate is owned by Viscount Cowdray, a close friend of Harry’s stepfather and mother, the Marquess and Marchioness of Milford Haven whose own 1,000 acre estate, Great Trippetts, is less than 10 miles away.  

The Marchioness, Clare Mountbatten, is also an avid polo player and regular at Cowdray Park. Cressida has previously been photographed at the polo park while a guest at charity events. 

Prince Harry and Cressida split in 2014, reportedly because Cressida was tired of the scrutiny that came with dating a member of the royal family. However the couple remain on good terms and socialise in similar circles, with Princess Eugenie, who introduced the couple, among Cressida’s closest friends. 

Cressida even attended her ex-boyfriend’s wedding to Meghan Markle in May 2018. 

A family member told MailOnline the just 30 of Cressida and Harry’s closest family and friends attended the ceremony, in keeping with the government’s Covid-19 restrictions.

‘It was a beautiful ceremony and they are just so happy,’ the source said at the time. ‘It was a very private and intimate ceremony and that is what they wanted.
