They were together for two years.

Is this Instagram post about Harry?

It looks as though one of Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriends has reacted to the news of his engagement.

Cressida Bonas and Harry were together for two years, having reportedly been introduced to each other by Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie in 2012.

They went their separate ways in 2014 and it’s thought that Cressida didn’t enjoy the media attention around the relationship.

She shared an image to Instagram this evening featuring a quote that reads; “No matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you believe you are, how you treat people ultimately tells it all.”

Harry and Cressida remained friends after their split, with Harry even going to see a play she was performing in last year, so the post could well have been her way of publicly congratulating the prince on his happy news – a pretty mature move.

Cressida, 28, has gone on to do very well for herself in recent years.

She was born into aristocracy – she’s the granddaughter of Edward Curzon, Earl Howe – but has forged her own path. She’s acted in several plays and modelled for Burberry and Mulberry.

She’s spoken out about being pigeonholed as Harry’s ex.

“I think it’s that thing of being pigeonholed,” she said on BBC 4 radio earlier this year.

“Especially in this country, I find people are very quick to put you in a box or put you in a corner and think,’ Oh well you’re that, so you must be this.'”
