Helena Bonham Carter to play Princess Margaret in the fourth series of The Crown
Actress will appear in the popular Netflix series when the next season is released next month
Helena Bonham Carter returns as glamorous cigarette-wielding royal Princess Margaret in the fourth series of The Crown, which is released on Netflix next month.
The Harry Potter star, who is of Jewish descent on her mother’s side, is still creating havoc in the background for reigning monarch Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman).
Also causing trouble is Britain’s first female Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (Gillian Anderson), whose divisive policies are leading to tensions both at home and abroad within the Commonwealth as the country enters the Falklands War.
Meanwhile, the Queen is preoccupied with safeguarding the line of succession by securing a bride for Prince Charles (Josh O’Connor), who is still unmarried at 30.
While Charles’ romance with a young Lady Diana Spencer (Emma Corrin)
provides a much-needed fairytale to unite the British people, behind closed doors, the Royal family is becoming increasingly divided.
Written by Peter Morgan, The Crown also stars Tobias Menzies as The Duke of Edinburgh, Erin Doherty as Princess Anne, Emerald Fennell as Camilla Parker Bowles, Marion Bailey as the Queen Mother and Charles Dance as Lord Mountbatten.
The Crown returns on 15 November on Netflix
