The daughter of a nobleman named Esmond Cooper-Key was Lady Mary Gaye Curzon. She was half-sister of actress and model Anna Bonas and had eleven siblings in total.
In May 2012, Princess Eugenie, the daughter of Sarah Ferguson, presented Cressida and Prince Harry for the first time.
Although they had some disagreements after Harry was rumored to have been spotted nude in Las Vegas, they continued to date until April 2014.
When Harry and Meghan Markle got married in May 2018, Cressida and his other ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy went to the wedding.
Pandora Cooper-Key, the 51-year-old half-sister of Cressida Bonas, tragically passed away following a long battle with illness. Pandora, the daughter of Esmond Cooper-Key and Lady Mary Gaye Curzon, had been diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor. Her illness had spanned 24 years, during which time she showed immense strength and resilience.
Pandora was one of 12 siblings, part of a family deeply connected to British nobility. Her mother, Lady Mary Gaye Curzon, hails from the aristocratic Curzon family, while Pandora’s half-siblings include actress and model Cressida Bonas, as well as Anna Bonas.
Cressida Bonas, who gained wider public recognition for her relationship with Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, was first introduced to him by Princess Eugenie, daughter of Sarah Ferguson, in May 2012. Despite public scrutiny and rumors—such as the infamous Las Vegas incident involving Prince Harry—the couple continued their relationship for two years before amicably parting ways in 2014.
Pandora’s passing comes amidst these familial connections to public figures, highlighting the lesser-known but deeply personal lives of Britain’s aristocracy. Both Cressida Bonas and Chelsy Davy, another of Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriends, were in attendance at his wedding to Meghan Markle in May 2018, which attracted global attention.
Pandora’s legacy is one of grace and quiet courage. Her battle with illness over the past two decades serves as a testament to her enduring strength. She will be remembered by her family and loved ones for her resilience and the rich connections that have long tied the Cooper-Key and Curzon families to British aristocratic history.
