While Bonas didn't confirm that it was this fear that kept her from marrying Prince Harry, it does seem like it may have been at least part of it. There's also the fact that marrying into the royal family would have meant giving up a lot of her own goals — something she wasn't willing to do. "She and Harry were very happy and were in love," royal biographer Katie Nicholl told Newsweek. "But, I think, for Cressida, her ambitions were to become an actress, she hated being defined as Prince Harry's girlfriend."
Things seem to be going well for Bonas, who said she has learned to deal with the anxiety that has been with her for so long. "I think I have grown confident and fortunately I have learnt not to sweat the small stuff too much," she said.
Per Tatler, Bonas is engaged to her boyfriend from university, Harry Wentworth-Stanley. Her acting career is also thriving, with her IMDb page boasting roles in shows and films like Doctor Thorne, Tulip Fever, and White House Farm.
