Prince Harry's ex gives birth to 'miracle' second baby with very special name
Prince Harry's former girlfriend has given birth to her second child - and is said to have given her newborn a very poignant name. Cressida Bonas, who dated the Duke of Sussex for two years before they split, revealed earlier this year she was expecting a a second child with her husband, Harry Wentworth-Stanley.
She opened up about how she had used an embryo she had frozen following struggles to conceive her first child, two-year-old son Wilbur. And now it has been reported that Cressida has given birth to a daughter and given her a name that is a fitting tribute to her half-sister, Pandora Cooper-Key, who passed away last year.
According to the Daily Mail, the model and actress has named the newborn Delphina Pandora Wentworth-Stanley, with her middle name a sweet nod to Cressida's late half-sister.
Pandora died last year aged 51 after being diagnosed with cancer as well as an inoperable brain tumour. Throughout Pandora's life, she had always lived with the risk of developing certain types of cancer, due to being affected by a condition called Li-Fraumeni, a rare genetic disorder, according to The Times.
Cressida shared her pregnancy news in January and told the Spectator: "I am now well into my second pregnancy. Having conceived through IVF the first time, we were fortunate to have another embryo stored away in a freezer... I've been battling morning sickness. I've never had it before, and now feel like I've been swaying on a boat for months."
She previously shared how she felt her "body was failing" her when she struggled to get pregnant. Yet, it is understood a specialist told the couple "there was nothing fundamentally wrong".
Writing in The Sunday Times, Cressida had said: "I spent time and money on reflexology, nutritionists, acupuncture and psychics…Even a German healer who speaks to angels. I heard nothing, not a squeak.
"My mind was on a constant worry loop and my obsession with getting pregnant became overwhelming, No matter how many Mystic Megs I saw or expensive supplements I took, nothing was working, and I felt as if my body was failing me."
But in July 2022, Cressida confirmed she was pregnant after undergoing IVF, and she gave birth to Wilbur in November of that year.
Cressida had dated Harry for around two years until they split amicably in April 2014. Harry had been introduced to Cressida, who has been in several West End plays including The Great Gatsby, by his cousin Princess Eugenie. Cressida was a guest at Harry and Meghan's wedding in 2018.
They split when Cressida reportedly became overwhelmed with the spotlight that came with dating a royal.

Fourth and final body removed from plane crash wreckage in Southend three days after crash
The fourth and final body has been removed from the wreckage of a plane crash in Southend, as the airport announced that it would be reopening to passengers on Thursday. The medical plane crashed in Southend on Sunday, shortly after taking off from the city's airport. All four people on board the aircraft were killed in the crash. Essex Police said that retrieving the bodies had been a "complex and delicate" operation. Det Ch Supt Morgan Cronin said: "Our work is very much ongoing away from the site, and our investigation in parallel with the AAIB (Air Accidents Investigation Branch) continues. "The aircraft is being carefully dismantled now to move into the next phase of the investigation." The four dead have yet to be officially identified, with experts using forensic methods such as DNA, fingerprints, and tattoos. On Tuesday, a crowd funder was set up for the family of a Chilean nurse Maria Fernanda Rojas Ortiz, 31, who was reportedly on her first day on the job when the plane went down. According to a document that lists passengers, Ms Ortiz was on board along with two Dutch pilots, and a German doctor, believed to be Dr Matthias Eyl, 46. The team had dropped off a patient in Southend for treatment in the UK. They were due to return to base in the Netherlands before the crash at about 3.48pm. Zeusch Aviation, based at Lelystad Airport in the Netherlands, said in a statement on Monday: "It is with deep sadness that we confirm there were no survivors among the people on board flight SUZ1. "Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the victims, their families, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time." London Southend Airport had been closed ever since the accident, but on Wednesday partially re-opened to a small number of passengers. It said it would reopen fully on Thursday. A spokesman said: 'Four EasyJet flights will land at London Southend Airport [on Wednesday] evening. Eastern Airways will also operate an empty positioning flight. "Normal airline operations resume from the morning of Thursday. "Our thoughts remain with the families and friends of those who tragically lost their lives on Sunday. Throughout the course of this week, we have continued to support the air accident investigation team as they carry out their work."

EXCLUSIVE I had 15 plastic surgeries in ONE DAY... it almost killed me and the recovery was gruesome but it was worth it
A transgender model who had 15 plastic surgeries in one day has revealed how the endeavor nearly killed her. Lana Madison, 29, who now splits her time between New York City and Miami, grew up in a strict Catholic household in Southern Texas, but she always felt like she didn't fit in. After years of feeling 'constantly at odds with herself,' she realized she was transgender during college and started hormone therapy at age 21. But during her transition, Lana realized that to become the girl she truly dreamed of being she would have to go under the knife multiple times because there were so many things about her appearance that she wanted to change. So instead of going through recovery over and over again, she decided to do it all at once - undergoing a whopping 15 procedures during one marathon 10-hour surgery. This included having her hairline pulled down, fat grafting to her cheeks, shaving down her Adam's apple, getting buccal fat pads partially removed, a rhinoplasty, brow lift, breast augmentation, and other tweaks to her lips and forehead. 'I wanted to go under and wake up as a new person,' she explained exclusively to the Daily Mail. 'I didn't want to spend years in and out of recovery, nitpicking parts of myself, constantly planning the next procedure. I wanted to just be done and move forward in my life. Lana Madison, 29, who now splits her time between New York City and Miami, grew up in a strict Catholic household in Southern Texas, but she always felt like she didn't fit in After years of feeling 'constantly at odds with herself,' she realized she was trans during college and started hormone therapy at age 21. She's seen at age 15 before her transition 'I didn't want to heal one part of myself while still dealing with dysphoria about another. I wanted to wake up in a body that felt whole.' Unfortunately, the healing process 'didn't go exactly as plan.' One day after the procedure, Lana was rushed back into surgery after she began suffering from a life-threatening complication. 'I had a hematoma in my left breast, so they had to put me back under the next day to stop the internal bleeding,' she explained. Lana admitted that the physical and emotional pain that she endured during her recovery was extremely difficult and left her battling depression. 'Two weeks after surgery, I had a full-on breakdown,' she confessed. 'I remember filming myself crying, thinking, "What did I do? I look like a freak. I look like a monster." 'My face was still swollen, my body was bruised, and my brain chemistry was completely off. 'I didn't feel like myself. I'm not a depressive person, so that feeling really scared me. I had deep bruising under my eyes for three months from the bone work around my orbital rim. 'The swelling made it hard to recognize myself, and it took time for the final results to settle in.' Lana said changing so many aspects of herself at once 'hit harder than she expected,' and she felt like she had to 'grieve' her old self. 'I thought I'd feel nothing but relief, but I found myself mourning the version of me who had survived all those years,' she continued. 'The version of me who had masked and fought to get to this point. That person kept me alive, but also carried so much pain. 'Letting that go wasn't just physical. It was emotional and spiritual. I had to honor who I had been, even while celebrating who I had become. 'That grief eventually gave way to something more powerful - peace. I had finally arrived in the body that matched my spirit. 'But those first few weeks were raw and emotional, and no one prepares you for that.' Even so, she is now 'so happy with the results' and feels it has given her a 'second chance at life.' Lana said changing so many aspects of herself at once 'hit harder than she expected,' and she felt like she had to 'grieve' her old self 'I want my ribs fractured and remodeled to make my waist even slimmer,' she shared She ultimately looks at the transformation as a 'rebirth' after years of having to 'pretend to be masculine' due to her religious upbringing. And now, Lana - who went on to get a hair transplant and two more boob jobs - is already eyeing her next procedure. 'I want my ribs fractured and remodeled to make my waist even slimmer,' she recently shared with Jam Press. 'It might sound bizarre but the results I've seen on other people are insane. I want to go all the way.' Lana now sells racy snaps of herself online and has raked in more than 76,000 followers on Instagram. In the end, she's said she's immensely proud of herself for overcoming everything she's endured. She concluded to the Daily Mail: 'At one of my lowest points, I created the version of myself I had always dreamed of. And I'm really proud of her.'

Take your pick from 40 inclusive shades covering warm, neutral and cool tones.

So, when I saw Benefit had released a new foundation, I had to give it a try. Smoothing and blurring the skin, the new Benefit POREfessional Foundation delivers medium-buildable, weightless coverage and a seamless, natural-matte finish that stays fresh all day - all without clogging pores. Plus, as it's one part makeup and one part skincare, it also works to visibly smooth texture, blur pores and improve the look of skin instantly and over time. This is all thanks to the skincare-boosted formula which features Rose Hip Extract to refine the look of pores and smooth skin, as well as Glycerin to retain skin moisture. But the star of the show is Niacinamide, which, as a form of Vitamin B3, helps to smooth the look of pores and skin texture while contributing to skin hydration every time you apply. Waterproof, smudge-proof, transfer-proof and fade-proof (with not an ounce of oxidisation), this new foundation hasn't just been grabbing rave reviews, but impressive consumer results, too, showing to deliver 24 hours of longwear and 24 hours of hydration. Better still, in a self-evaluation by 116 participants after one week, 96 per cent said it visibly smoothed texture instantly, and in a self-evaluation by 116 participants after four weeks, 97 per cent said bare skin is smoother over time. But what did I think? Coming in a glass bottle with a handy pump, the POREfessional Foundation certainly looks the part – and with 40 shades covering warm, neutral and cool tones, I was able to find my absolutely perfect colour match with ease - 2N Mighty. As someone who is used to tinted moisturisers and dewy, low coverage foundation, I was nervous by the foundation's medium-buildable, natural-matte finish. Needless to say, I was very pleasantly surprised by how this foundation performed. I went in sparingly over my usual primer, applying just a pump of the lightweight foundation to my face with the gorgeous Benefit Makeup Blender Sponge and pressing the product worry-free into even my pore-centric areas. I was shocked by the result. This foundation instantly smoothed out my skin, layering effortlessly over areas of texture, old acne scars and, most importantly, the visible pores of my nose and cheeks. My complexion was left looking flawless and blurred without any of the flatness I worry about with matte products. Dark spots covered, redness covered, dark circles covered… it's rare for a matte foundation to leave me looking quite so healthy - but this one did. In fact, my skin looked utterly hydrated and, after layering beautifully with my other makeup products, continued looking flawless all day long – through a rain storm, a full day in the air-conditioned office and a four-hour train ride to Cornwall. No creasing, caking or clogging in sight. This one is truly a new favourite in my collection – and I'm not the only one who thinks so. While new, the Benefit POREfessional Foundation, the brand's more note-worthy foray into foundation, has already received hundreds of rave reviews from impressed users. 'I am a concealer and skin tint type of girly so I was not expecting to like this so much,' raved one impressed reviewer. 'I don't like heavy foundations as they clog my pores but this matched my exact skin colour I was so shocked. 'And on top of that it's medium coverage, but it blends out sooo nicely it looks like skin. I took a close up picture of my face because I have a lot of pores and you cannot even see them in the photo.' Another added: 'I absolutely love the POREfessional Foundation by Benefit! It makes my skin look flawless and perfect. It evens out my complexion beautifully and stays put all day long. The medium coverage is just right—since a little goes a long way, a bottle will last quite a while.' 'I'm obsessed with this formula!!' a third user shared. 'It's so good and dewy but it covers what it needs to cover at the same time! I really liked the way it matched my shade and overall it hold throughout the day pretty good! Would buy again!'.
