Meanwhile, Cressida is currently relishing the joy that comes with being a new mum. The 33-year-old, who was once in a relationship with Prince Harry, welcomed a baby boy at the end of last year with husband Harry Wentworth-Stanley.

They reportedly named their firstborn, Wilbur James Wentworth-Stanley, with the second moniker being a tribute to Harry's brother James, who passed away in 2006.

Daily Mail's Richard Eden has claimed the name is a "dedication" to the 21-year-old, who took his own life.

Cressida has previously spoken about the pain her in-laws suffered after losing their child. "He was a student at Newcastle University and, growing up, he had never shown any obvious signs of depression or mental illness," she previously told Daily Mail. "He was fun, sporty, kind and popular. Many have said he was a golden boy."
