Cressida Bonas, Prince Harry‘s ex, breaks her silence after suffering a heartbreaking loss.
Cressida Bonas, Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend, has broken her silence following a heartbreaking loss.
The actress and model, who dated the Prince of Wales’ younger brother Harry from 2012 to 2014, issued an emotional statement following the death of her ‘darling sister’.
Turning to her official Instagram account, Bona paid a touching tribute to her half-sister Pandora Cooper-Key, who died on July 22 at age 51.
The 35-year-old shared a carousel of photographs of her sister alongside a heartfelt homage, writing: “I’ll look for you in the markets where we walked arm-in-arm.” I’ll talk to the ancient trees and inquire where you are. I’ll look for you in a Pekingese expression, pots of honey, gorgeous headgear, and your two boys’ eyes.” She continued: “I’ll hear you say things like, ‘I’m happy as a tick,’ and ‘I think you’re mad as a goose.’ I’ll search for your humor, even on the darkest days. When courage is needed, I’ll call for you, hoping you’ll come by. I’ll seek you in the mountains you fearlessly climbed and skied. When the evening sun kisses the ocean, I’m sure I’ll see you there. I will find you in the colors of life and moments of mischief. I’ll search for you in the stars and wherever there is dancing. I will turn the music up and dance more than ever before. I’ll look for you in my dreams where you’ll say, ‘Hi Smally,’ and tell me where you’ve been.”
“One day, I’ll remember you saying in one of your final days, ‘I don’t know what all the fuss is about, I ain’t going nowhere.'” And I’ll understand I never needed to look for you at all. “You were right here beside me all along, because, my darling sister, my heart is forever tied to yours,” she said. The post concluded with “Pandora Cooper-Key ~ 1973-2024” and a blue butterfly emoji.
Bonas reportedly had a two-year flirtation with Harry after being introduced to him by Princess Eugenie, the younger daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.
