Harry arrived at a special carol service, sans Meghan, last night that raises money for a cause very close to the young Prince’s heart.

Among the guests was Harry’s ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas. The actress was there to give a rendition of Roald Dahl’s adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood.

The two were far from the only notable guests at the charity event, with Carole Middleton and Pippa and James Matthews also in attendance.

The carols were to raise money for schools in Uganda, Africa for the Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Trust, a school friend of the prince who died in a car accident.

The family is incredibly close to the royals – Henry’s brother Thomas is Princess Charlotte’s godfather.

Both Harry and Will are patrons of the charity.

She captioned the somewhat cryptic image “truth” and added the hashtag “quotes to live by.”

Cressida’s followers were quick to comment on the mystery post, with many linking the upload to the fifth-in-line to the throne’s recent engagement news.
