Cressida Bonas, former girlfriend of Prince Harry, made a stunning appearance on Wednesday evening at the Anti-Slavery Collective’s inaugural Winter Gala.
She was joined by Zara Tindall and Princess Beatrice to show their support for Princess Eugenie.
The event took place amidst controversy surrounding the release of Omid Scobie’s new book, Endgame, by Harry and Meghan.
Cressida looked absolutely gorgeous as she arrived at Battersea Arts Centre wearing a glamorous strapless pink and red gown.
Her iconic blonde tussled hair cascaded down and swept over to one side, adding to her overall elegance.
This gala marked an important milestone for the charity, which was founded by Princess Eugenie and her friend, Julia de Boinville, in 2017.
Zara, on the other hand, opted for a floor-length black gown with puff sleeves and glittery golden embroidery.
She tied her blonde tresses back into an elegant low bun and accessorized with statement silver earrings and a sparkling gold watch.
Despite Cressida’s past relationship with Prince Harry, which lasted from 2012 to 2014, she has maintained a close bond with the royal family.
Her presence added to the star-studded lineup of A-listers who all looked absolutely glorious for the evening.
During the gala, Cressida and Zara were seen sitting together next to James Blunt.
They enjoyed captivating performances from renowned artists such as Ed Sheeran, the London Essentials, and Dream, a choir formed by survivors of modern slavery through music therapy sessions provided by the Salvation Army.
Princess Eugenie herself looked radiant in an ultra-chic black satin gown, featuring a daring thigh-high split adorned with bejeweled buttons.
Princess Beatrice matched her sister’s style, donning a black satin blazer gown with a floor-length net skirt.
Interestingly, Meghan Markle seemed to be left out of the festivities.
While Eugenie’s event was taking place, Meghan appeared to be blacklisted and was not seen among the group of friends having a great time and supporting each other.
It seems that Meghan and her husband will once again have to spend their evening at home, staring at each other.
Both Chelsea and Cressida have maintained positive relationships with Kate, William, and Charles, unlike Meghan.
These two women had their own lives and careers before entering the royal family, so they understood the expectations and responsibilities that came with marrying into royalty.
Neither of them desired that lifestyle.
It is worth noting that Meghan does not seem to get along well with most people in Harry’s family or even her own.
Catherine and Cressida, on the other hand, seemed to have a good rapport, and Cressida never attempted to compete with William and Catherine.
That just wasn’t her style.
Cressida would have been a much better fit for Harry, but it is fortunate that she recognized their incompatibility.
In the past, Meghan had reportedly banned Harry’s old friends, including Cressida and Chelsea, from attending their wedding.
However, Harry insisted on inviting them despite Meghan’s objections.
