Cressida Bonas Joins Zara Tindall and Princess Beatrice at Eugenie’s Winter Gala
In a glamorous display of support, Cressida Bonas, Harry's ex-girlfriend, made a stunning appearance at Princess Eugenie's Anti-Slavery Collective's inaugural Winter Gala.
The event took place on Wednesday evening and also saw the presence of Zara Tindall and Princess Beatrice.
The gala came at a time when Harry and Meghan faced controversy due to the release of Omid Scobie's new book, “Endgame.”
Cressida Bonas looked absolutely gorgeous as she arrived at Battersea Arts Centre wearing an elegant strapless gown in shades of pink and red.
Her iconic blonde tresses were styled in loose waves, cascading gracefully over one shoulder.
Despite her past relationship with Prince Harry, which lasted from 2012 to 2014, Cressida has maintained a close bond with the royal family.
Zara Tindall, known for her equestrian pursuits, opted for a floor-length black gown adorned with puff sleeves and glittery golden embroidery.
Her blonde hair was swept back into a sophisticated low bun, complemented by statement silver earrings and a sparkling gold watch.
Together with Cressida, they joined a star-studded lineup of A-listers who attended the event in support of Princess Eugenie's charity.
The Anti-Slavery Collective was formed by Princess Eugenie in 2017, alongside her friend Julia de Boinville.
This Winter Gala marked a significant milestone for the organization.
During the evening, guests were treated to captivating performances by renowned artists such as Ed Sheeran, the London Essentials, and Dream, a choir comprising survivors of modern slavery who found solace through music therapy sessions provided by the Salvation Army.
Princess Eugenie herself looked resplendent in an ultra-chic black satin gown, featuring a daring thigh-high split adorned with bejeweled buttons.
Her sister, Princess Beatrice, complemented her attire with a black satin blazer gown and a floor-length net skirt.
The union of Zara, Cressida, and Eugenie showcased their solidarity and support for each other.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle was notably absent from the event, leading to speculation about her relationship with the royal family.
It is evident that Cressida, Zara, and Eugenie share a close bond, which may have caused some tension within the family.
Unlike Meghan, both Cressida and Zara have maintained positive relationships with Kate, William, and Charles.
They understood the expectations and responsibilities that come with marrying into the royal family, having already established their own lives and careers in upper circles.
Interestingly, Meghan's strained relationships extend beyond Harry's family and also include her own relatives.
While Catherine and Cressida seemed to get along well, Cressida never sought to outshine William and Catherine.
She simply wasn't that type of person.
Many believe that Cressida would have been a better match for Harry, but she recognized that he may not have been the right fit for her.
It is worth noting that Meghan previously banned Harry's old friends, including Cressida and Chelsea, from attending their wedding.
However, Harry insisted on inviting them despite the objections.
