In a surprising turn of events, Cressida Bonas, the former girlfriend of Prince Harry, made an appearance at Princess Eugenie’s winter gala.

The gala, organized by the Anti-Slavery Collective, was a star-studded event that aimed to raise awareness and support for the charity.

Cressida, accompanied by Zara Tindall and Princess Beatrice, looked stunning in an exquisite strapless pink and red gown.

Despite the controversy surrounding Harry and Meghan due to the release of Omid Scobie’s controversial book, “Endgame,” Cressida stole the spotlight with her glamorous appearance.

Her iconic blonde tussled hair cascaded down, swept to one side, adding to her overall elegance.

Zara Tindall, on the other hand, opted for an elegant floor-length black gown with puffed sleeves and intricate golden embroidery.

She completed her look with a stylish low bun, statement silver earrings, and a sparkling gold watch.

The winter gala held special significance for Princess Eugenie, as she co-founded the Anti-Slavery Collective in 2017 with her friend Julia DeWinville.

The event showcased a lineup of attendees who all looked resplendent, with Cressida and Zara photographed seated together, enjoying the company of James Blunt and being entertained by performances from Ed Sheeran, The London Essentials, and Dream.

Additionally, a modern slavery survivors’ choir formed during music therapy sessions provided by the Salvation Army added a powerful touch to the evening.

Princess Eugenie herself looked radiant in a chic black satin gown featuring a daring thigh-high split adorned with bed buttons.

Her sister, Princess Beatrice, matched her style with a black satin blazer gown and a floor-length net skirt.

The presence of Zara, Cressida, and Eugenie seemed to have infuriated Meghan, as she was conspicuously absent from the event.

While the others had a delightful time supporting one another, Meghan’s absence raised eyebrows.

It is interesting to note that both Cressida and Chelsea, Harry’s former flames, share a harmonious relationship with Kate, William, and Charles.

Unlike Meghan, these women had their own successful careers and came from upper social circles.

They understood the expectations that come with marrying into the royal family, especially as the spouse of the spare heir.

Their style was never about outshining William and Catherine; instead, they embraced their roles with grace.

Cressida Bonas, in particular, was often seen as a better match for Harry.

However, it is fortunate that she realized early on that he would not be the right partner for her.

Meghan, on the other hand, barred Harry’s old friends, including Cressida and Chelsea, from attending their wedding.

Despite this, Harry insisted on inviting them, causing some tension within their circle.

Rumors circulated that Harry’s friends had expressed their concerns about Meghan when they first met her, shocked by his choice.

This criticism reportedly angered Harry, leading to strained relationships.

These friends did not hold back in mocking Meghan for what they perceived as a lack of etiquette.
