Cressida was first spotted with a baby bump at the wedding of Lady Tatiana Mountbatten, daughter of the Queen‘s cousin the Marquess of Milford Haven, over the weekend.
Cressida, typically understated, stepped out in a pink pleated maxi skirt, white V-neck blouse and a black blazer that skimmed over her baby bump.
She completed the look with a simple pendant necklace, a stack of gold bangles and a red floral headband.
It comes just a week after Cressida and real estate agent Harry started wagging their tails when they shared a photo with their godson. The candid photo of the trio cuddling on the couch prompted one fan to ask, “Are you ever going to start a family?”

Harry Wentworth-Stanley is the son of Clare Mountbatten, Marchioness of Milford Haven, and her first husband Nicholas Philip Wentworth-Stanley.
It came almost exactly two years after Cressida and Harry’s wedding. The couple married on 27 July 2020 at exclusive Cowdray Park, in Midhurst, West Sussex, when only 30 guests were allowed to attend weddings due to Covid-10 restrictions.
Only a handful of photos from the private wedding appeared at the time, including one of the bride and groom riding into the sunset on horseback. Cressida later revealed she was wearing a £599 Whistles dress she previously wore in a James Arthur music video.
The Cowdray Estate spans 16,500 acres and includes the fields where Harry and William played polo, and also features a golf course, farm shop, cafe and holiday cottages.

Marriage happiness! Cressida and Harry, pictured in an Instagram post announcing their engagement, were married on July 27, 2020 at exclusive Cowdray Park, in West Sussex.
The beautiful 19th century Cowdray House can be rented out for weddings of up to 150 people.
The estate is owned by Viscount Cowdray, a close friend of Harry’s stepfather and mother, the Marquess and Marchioness of Milford Haven, whose own 1,000-acre estate, Great Trippetts, is less than 10 miles away.
The Marchioness, Clare Mountbatten, is also an avid polo player and regular at Cowdray Park. Cressida has previously been photographed at the polo park while attending charity events.
Prince Harry and Cressida split in 2014, reportedly because Cressida had had enough of the scrutiny that came with dating a member of the royal family. However, the pair remain on good terms and socialize in similar circles, with Princess Eugenie introducing the couple to Cressida’s closest friends.
Cressida even attended her ex-boyfriend’s wedding to Meghan Markle in May 2018.
A relative told MailOnline that only 30 closest family and friends of Cressida and Harry attended the ceremony, in accordance with the government’s Covid-19 restrictions.
“It was a beautiful ceremony and they are just so happy,” the source said at the time. “It was a very private and intimate ceremony and that’s what they wanted.
