Cressida Bonas delighted followers on Tuesday when she shared never-before-seen photos of her newborn daughter, Delphina.
Amongst the heart-melting images, which were posted on Instagram, the actress uploaded the sweetest black-and-white photo of herself cradling her newborn, a photo of her husband Harry bonding with 'Delphi', and a precious snap showing their son Wilbur snuggling up to his baby sister.
In her caption, Cressida wrote: "Delphina Pandora… Our first few weeks with Delphi. Before she arrived, I wondered how it was possible to love anything as much as we love our boy.

Cressida's baby joy was confirmed earlier this month by The Daily Mail's Richard Eden. A friend told the Mail columnist that the couple had named the baby Delphina Pandora Wentworth-Stanley.

One wrote: "Just beautiful, congratulations on your little bundle", while a second noted: "Oh Cressida she is absolute heaven", and a third chimed in: "The sweetest photos!! Huge congratulations Cressida."
Cressida's journey to motherhood
The Tulip Fever star welcomed her firstborn, Wilbur, via IVF in 2022 after struggling to conceive. They named their firstborn, Wilbur James Wentworth-Stanley, with the second moniker being a tribute to Harry's brother James, who passed away in 2006.

Having conceived through IVF the first time, we were fortunate to have another embryo stored away in a freezer," she said. "It is incredible that a tiny cluster of frozen cells, already a life, can survive, suspended in time for years. The science behind the process continues to amaze me."
Reflecting on her family's expansion, she added: "A growing family means a need for more space. Our flat is on the market and we are house hunting."
Harry and Cresida's love story
Cressida and estate agent Harry reportedly first crossed paths while studying at university. They announced their engagement in August 2019, and went on to tie the knot in a private wedding ceremony in July 2020.
Prior to finding love with her husband Harry, Cressida was in a relationship with the Duke of Sussex whom she dated between 2012 and 2014.
