"It's a thrill to have her, Matthew, Cara and Cressida joining the fantastic cast that's been assembled," he added.
Bonas is the daughter of 1960s society beauty, Lady Mary Gaye Curzon and her third husband, Old Harrovian businessman Jeffrey Bonas. She's graduate from dance school Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and is said to be focused on her acting career.
"Acting, dancing and singing is something I have done my whole life," Bonas recently told The Sunday Times.
"Being part of a creative team is the best thing in the world and I feel very happy within a creative environment," she added.
The socialite was thrust into the spotlight when she s first began dating Prince Harry in May 2012 after being introduced to him by his cousin, Princess Eugenie. She has kept a low profile in recent months following their April split.
"Cressida has decided she wants to focus on her career and Harry is really keen that she is allowed to get on with her life," a source told the Daily Mail U.K. About the pair's split.
"Cressie is only 25 and pretty young for her age at that. Prince Harry will be 30 this year and is at a different stage in his life," the friend explained.
Last month reports claimed Bonas had been granted "compassionate leave" from her marketing job in London to help her recover from her widely publicized split from Harry, 29, according to Vanity Fair.
