Hollywood star Cressida Bonas, once Prince Harry's special love, has still not overcome memories of the time she spent with him. She has confessed that even today, she is haunted by the experiences she shared with him. Currently, her past is casting its shadow on her profession too, as she is unfairly compared to his current girlfriend, actress Meghan Markle.

It is indeed difficult to live up to Meghan Markle, who is an established actress in Hollywood, having made it big in the network drama "Suits" since 2011. On the other hand, Cressida Bonas has found it difficult to make a mark. She suspects that it is probably because she is still viewed as Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend.

Cressida Bonas even told Mail Online in the past week that Prince Harry killed her dreams of stardom: "I think everyone has put me in a box because I was with you know who," she said. "It's frustrating because I work really hard. I wish more people had seen my performance in "The Great Gatsby."

Cressida Bonas was dating Prince Harry for two years before they split in 2014. Earlier, when Prince Harry learned about her ambitions to make it big as a Hollywood star, he decided to end their relationship. Since then, she has been trying to get back into the big circuit, the A-list crowd for many years now.

It is extraordinary that Cressida Bonas should be edged out of Hollywood only because her ex-boyfriend is making it big with a rival celebrity However, that is indeed happening, which is really not lighting up the way for Cressida. Her ambitions have been staunched not only by her own past romantic fling with him but even due to his present affair with Meghan Markle. Rumors of their impending wedding are also being strongly talked about.

The comparisons have indeed catapulted her to a kind of fame that she did not want. She is also struggling hard to work and make up for her bad luck. However, only time can tell us what would happen. Two of her movies will be released this year - one horror story titled "The Bye Bye Man" and a period drama, "Tulip Fever." Producer Harvey Weinstein called her a "fantastic actress" according to Yahoo.
