Cressida Bonas, Prince Harry’s former girlfriend, delighted fans this week by sharing a rare photo of her son Wilbur on Instagram. Bonas, 34, posted a heartwarming picture of little Wilbur crawling alongside an enchanting dog during a visit to an art gallery. The sweet snapshot offered fans a glimpse into Bonas’ life as a doting mother.

Wilbur, who will turn one year old soon, looked absolutely precious in the photo. Dressed casually in jeans and a gray cardigan, he appeared completely captivated by the furry companion held on a leash next to him. Bonas simply captioned the image with the words “deep chats” and a handshake emoji.

Friends and followers were quick to flood the comments section with adoration for the darling baby boy. “Cuteness standoff,” one fan gushed. “Too too sweet,” echoed another, adding several red love heart emojis. A third commented, “Best friends.”

Bonas shares her young son with her husband Harry Wentworth-Stanley, whom she secretly married in 2020. The couple first met while studying at the University of Leeds and later moved in together upon returning to London after graduation, according to reports.

Wilbur’s middle name, James, pays tribute to Prince Harry’s late brother Prince James, who tragically passed away in 2002 at the young age of 17. James was a bright student at Newcastle University but began struggling with anxiety and depression following a minor surgical procedure. He sought help at an NHS walk-in center but was not seen as a priority case. Tragically, a letter intended for his family doctor about his mental health was incorrectly sent via second class mail. By the time it arrived, James had already lost his battle with mental illness just 10 days after his operation

Bonas and Prince Harry embarked on a passionate two-year romance from 2012 to 2014. Rumor has it they were introduced by Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie. In his memoir Spare, published earlier this year, Harry opened up candidly about their separation. While acknowledging the immense affection and loyalty they shared, he confessed lasting love was not meant to be for the couple.

Bonas had always made it clear she harbored no desire to embrace the burdens of royal life. Harry recalled bidding her a difficult farewell, noting “she had become my solace” but he was now leaving her “in a state of sorrow.” Despite the end of their relationship, the pair have managed to maintain an amicable connection over the years. Bonas and her husband even attended Harry and Meghan’s royal wedding in 2018.

Today, Bonas seems happily settled with husband Wentworth-Stanley and their son Wilbur. The rare Instagram photo offered a glimpse into her life as a devoted mother raising her baby boy. Fans were thrilled to catch a glimpse of little Wilbur, who is rarely seen publicly. His adorable looks and captivation with the family’s furry friend in the gallery captured hearts. While her relationship with Prince Harry did not have a fairytale ending, Bonas appears to have found lasting love and contentment in her small family unit.
