Prince Harry ’s ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas once had doubts about pursuing her dreams of becoming and actress. In a recent interview, the 31-year-old opened up about her fears of being known as an “it girl,” and why it was important for the world to see her as more. “The fear of failing, the fear of rejection, the fear of not getting it right, the fear of not being perfect…I think that has limited me in certain situations in my life,” the White House Farm star told the Daily Telegraph.

“I think terms like that are very narrow-minded,” she added. Now, as an established actress, the star lets her work speak for itself. “I think that I work very, very hard, I love what I do, and I just hope that this role has shown people what I can do and what I would like to do going forward and not be caught in a box in any way,“ she said.
