Cressida Bonas is the ultimate English rose as she showcases her dance moves modelling Mulberry's new range

Cressida Bonas is the ultimate English rose as she showcases her dance moves modelling Mulberry's new range

  • Cressida, 26, models British fashion house's spring/summer 15 range
  • Shows off impressive dance moves in shoot
  • Accomplished actress and dancer to star in Harvey Weinstein's Tulip Fever
She shot to fame as the pretty blonde on Prince Harry's arm, but Cressida Bonas is keen to make a name for herself away from the royal limelight.
The fledgling actress and dancer has been unveiled as Mulberry's new ambassador - and shows off her modelling skills in new imagery released by the British fashion giant.
The 26-year-old poses in an old courthouse in Clerkenwell, London, wearing pieces from the Somerset-based brand's spring/summer 2015 collection.

Shot by Robert Fairer, Cressida, an accomplished dancer, shows off her moves as she pulls some poses whilst modelling the new range.
The shoot follows the release of a short film last month for the fashion house. It features Miss Bonas, the youngest daughter of aristocrat Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon and entrepreneur Jeffrey Bonas, dancing round an old court house and English country garden in a £1,800 dress.
Asked in the video if it was ‘nice’ being single, she replied: ‘It is actually, it is, it is’
The Sloaney blonde dated Prince Harry for two years until last April when they broke up. Since then, the budding star has been focussing on her acting and modelling career.

She has just finished playing Cecily in The Importance of Being Ernest at the London Oratory, the Catholic comprehensive which counts Nick Clegg’s son as a pupil. 
Prince Harry even attended the opening night of his former girlfriend’s play, and was heard laughing loudly throughout.
Last month, well-connected Cressida also appeared on the front cover of Miss Vogue magazine, and later this year will make her film debut in Harvey Weinstein’s Tulip Fever, also starring her good friend, Cara Delevingne, as well as Dame Judi Dench.
Cressida recently played Cecily in The Importance of Being Ernest at the London Oratory, where she was watched by ex-boyfriend, Prince Harry

‘I hope the focus is becoming more about skills that I have,’ she said in the interview with the Sunday Time’s Style magazine.
‘It’s really important to me not just to be known as…’ she added, drifting off without finishing the sentence, presumably referring to being known as Prince Harry’s ex.
She refused to discuss her relationship with the prince, only to comment on the media attention their romance prompted.
‘All that stuff is not real,’ she says. ‘It’s really important to remember that all it is is noise, noise that can be very loud at times.’
