Prince Harry's former lover Cressida Bonas is in talks to join cast of TV hit show 'Downton Abbey.'
According to the sources, the show's creator Julian Fellowes met the aspiring actress to discuss a role, and is believed to be "hugely impressed with her," the Daily Star reported.
Bonas, 25, who dated the royal, 30, for almost two years, loves the show and hopes it would help raise her profile, both in the UK and US.
