Prince Harry's former girlfriend Cressida Bonas has decided that another link to royalty is not for her.
The aspiring actress has turned down a part in a new £4.3m movie about Bonnie Prince Charlie to be filmed in Scotland later this month.
The Great Getaway - which tells the story of Charles Edward Stuart's escape - would have been the 26-year-old's second movie.
Miss Bonas was offered the part of the wife of a Jacobite supporter, Catherine Mackinnon, who helps the prince escape capture after the Battle of Culloden.
But Director Robbie Moffat said:"We made her agent a very good offer - several thousand pounds - but she turned it down. Maybe she's had enough of getting too close to royalty for the moment."
The part has now gone to Scottish actress Vivien Reid, while Heartthrob Jamie Bacon and Scottish actress Mhairi Calvey will take on the lead roles of Bonnie Prince Charlie and Flora McDonald.
The eight weeks shoot will culminate in the biggest battle scene ever staged in Scotland, with 500 extras at Castle Kennedy, near Stranraer.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
