Prince Harry's Ex Cressida Bonas Got Engaged With a Spectacularly Rare Ring
Congratulations are in order: Cressida Bonas just got engaged to Harry Wentworth-Stanley while in Nantucket. The groom-to-be shared the news on Instagram with a sweet selfie and a simple caption: "We getting married." They look cute and all, but we immediately zeroed in on Bonas's unique engagement ring. How stunning is the piece of jewellery? With gold and ruby accents encircling the center diamond, it's far from your average diamond solitaire ring. According to British Vogue, the style is known as a "target ring" and comes from the art deco era.
Of course, we all know Bonas as one of Prince Harry's most memorable ex-girlfriends. Refreshingly, they've remained friends and he even invited Bonas to his already-iconic wedding to Meghan Markle. Plus, she's so tight with the Royal family that she also attended Princess Eugenie's wedding. Only time will tell if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be making an appearance at Bonas's wedding—but you can bet we're waiting with bated breath to find out.
