Cressida Bonas stopped by a children's charity clothes store in London this morning after the model confirmed she's expecting again.
Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend was seen on Saturday for the first time since announcing she is pregnant with her second child, after Cressida, 35, headed to the Notting Hill-based Fara Kids for a spot of shopping.
She was accompanied by her two-year-old son Wilbur and Cressida pushed his stroller while sipping on a hot drink from a takeaway cup as she walked through the west London neighbourhood.
Dressed for a chilly morning in London, Cressida wore a thick, black coat over a cream turtleneck sweater and charcoal-grey jeans.
Looking fresh-faced and radiant, Cressida opted for a no-makeup look while accessorising with a pair of slate blue fingerless gloves and a beanie worn over her blonde locks.
Her visit to the charity shop comes days after Cressida confirmed she and husband Harry Wentworth-Stanley are expecting their second child together.
Writing in The Spectator, Cressida shared she she used a frozen embryo after having 'conceived through IVF the first time' while noting how her second pregnancy was different from the first.
The actress, 35, who married the property investor in 2020, wrote: 'It is incredible that a tiny cluster of frozen cells, already a life, can survive, suspended in time for years.

Cressida also revealed that this has been a more difficult pregnancy, noting: '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.'
As their family grows, Cressida continued, she and Harry are now seeking a bigger home.
'Our flat is on the market and we are house hunting,' she explained, adding the couple's pet dachshund, Budgie, 'is bound to be unimpressed' by the house move.
'Not only are we uprooting her territory, but there's a new family member on the way and she can sense it.'
In 2022, Cressida described how she felt as though 'my body was failing me' after facing difficulties in conceiving, and when a specialist told the couple 'there was nothing fundamentally wrong'.
Writing in The Sunday Times, she 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.'
Dressed for a chilly morning in London, Cressida wore a thick, black coat over a cream turtleneck sweater and charcoal-grey jeans.
Cressida admitted to 'avoiding' loved one's children's parties due to feeling out of place around her friends who had kids, amid the struggle to have her own.
She went on to say that IVF firstly 'frightened' her due to having no 'power' over the final outcome.
Sadly, Cressida's struggle to get pregnant is far from the only challenge she has faced in recent years.
On July 22, 2024, the actress's half-sister, Pandora Cooper-Key, passed away at the age of 51 from cancer.
The mother-of-two was first diagnosed with the disease 24 years ago and had spent the past two decades battling different types of cancer.
Ten days after Pandora's passing, her family announced that she had died after the discovery of an inoperable brain tumour.
Cressida played a key role in a memorial service for Pandora that took place on Friday, September 19, 2024, paying an emotional tribute to her 'darling sister'.
'My heart is forever tied to yours,' the actress said of her ceramicist sister.

Cressida was joined at St Luke's church in Chelsea, west London, by Pandora's friends including Queen Camilla's son, Tom Parker Bowles, and her nephew Sir Ben Elliot.
Wearing a pastel-coloured trouser suit, Cressida read a moving 'letter to Pandora' that she composed after her death.
The sisters' mother, Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon, paid tribute, saying: 'Nobody on Earth who ever met Pandora could help falling in love with her.'
In an interview with MailOnline just months before her untimely death, Pandora said her family had already planned her funeral 'thousands of times'.
She was told that she had an inoperable brain tumour at the end of 2023.
The artist endured repeated rounds of immunotherapy in the hope she would recover, but was told this was not an option after her latest news.
A notice in The Times, announcing her death, called her a 'beloved daughter', 'adored mother', 'much-loved sister' and 'devoted aunt'.
Sarcoma UK, a charity she supported, said on a fundraising page: 'She was a beautiful spirit and an inspiration to so many.'

Kerry Reeves-Kneip, Director of Communications at Sarcoma UK, added: 'Her openness about her journey helped raise crucial awareness about sarcoma and the challenges faced by patients.
'Pandora's legacy extends far beyond her fundraising efforts; she touched countless lives with her warmth and resilience.
'On behalf of everyone at Sarcoma UK, I extend our deepest condolences to Pandora's family, including her mother, Lady Mary, her sister, Cressida Bonas, her two sons, and all who loved her.
'We are immensely grateful for the difference Pandora made to our organisation and to others affected by sarcoma.
'We at Sarcoma UK will honour her by continuing our mission with renewed determination. Pandora's kindness, courage, and indomitable spirit will forever remain in our hearts.'
Pandora continued to work for Vivienne Westwood as a handbag designer for a decade after her diagnosis, before leaving to have her first child.
Only five weeks after giving birth, she was told the devastating news that she had sarcoma in her left eye and sinus area.
Sarcomas are malignant tumours which are so rare that a GP can expect to see only one or two in an entire career.
There are approximately 4,630 soft tissue sarcomas and 670 bone sarcomas diagnosed each year in the UK.
She was given just ten months to live as doctors feared her condition had worsened, after she had an operation to remove the affected tear duct. It was later discovered that her scans had been misinterpreted, and she was in the clear.
But this was soon followed by the awful news that Pandora had another tumour in her cheek, which was successfully removed, and also one at the back of her nose.
In 2016, she went through a stage of having several seizures, which would sometimes lead to her becoming unconscious for a week.
But even as she battled the disease, just two years ago Pandora started a ceramics business, Curzon Blue, after she fell in love with glassware at Portobello Market.
The name has a heartfelt meaning behind it, along with a touching nod to her mother.
'It's called Curzon Blue because my mother's maiden name is Curzon and her fourth husband made a cocktail called Curzon blue,' she said at the time.
'It's really delicious and it will knock you off your perch in a heartbeat. It just felt like a really nice thing to do to incorporate my two amazing backgrounds.'
Throughout her battle with various tumours, and despite feeling weak, Pandora continued working on her business and shared her love of glassware both on her website and her Instagram.
Until the end of her life, she would still travel to the markets in search of glass for her business, saying it brought a sense of relief to her health battle.
Pandora is survived by her two sons, who she had with TV producer Matthew Mervyn-Jones before they separated.
