Recent reports suggest that Meghan Markle may have been left feeling somewhat embarrassed after Prince Harry’s former girlfriend, Cressida Bonas, attended the high-profile wedding of billionaire David Wintour and Georgia Owen in Venice.

Bonas, who dated Prince Harry from 2012 to 2014, was spotted looking elegant in a burgundy dress with a thigh-high slit as she arrived by boat to the extravagant ceremony held on the Isola della Rosa. The lavish event on the Venetian island was undoubtedly a far cry from the modest nuptials of Markle and Prince Harry in 2018.

A source close to the situation indicated that Markle has previously struggled with feelings of jealousy over Harry’s continued connections to his ex-partners, despite their relationships having ended. In 2019, it was reported that Markle had set strict boundaries regarding Harry’s contact with his former flames after their own royal wedding.

Bonas, who introduced Harry to her cousin Princess Eugenie, has maintained a close friendship with the royal family even after her split from the prince. She was present at Harry and Markle’s wedding, and the bonds of their friendship appear to have endured.

The insider suggested that Markle may have been dismayed to learn that Bonas remains in touch with Harry, with the source speculating that the Duchess of Sussex could have been enraged upon hearing the news of Bonas’ appearance at the high-profile Venetian wedding.

Bonas, who welcomed a son with her husband Harry Wentworth-Stanley in 2022, seems to have moved on to “bigger and better things,” as one commentator noted. This could potentially serve as a source of consternation for Markle, who has faced criticism over her own style choices and attempts to court attention.

As the two women navigate the complexities of their respective relationships and public profiles, the dynamics between them and Prince Harry continue to be a subject of intense fascination and speculation within royal circles.
