Read our privacy policy The fourth season of The Crown boasts a very starry cast, including Oscar-nominated actor Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret. Bonham Carter took over the role of Princess Margaret, the Queen’s sister, from Vanessa Kirby in season three of The Crown. “Playing someone like Margaret, one of the great privileges was meeting all the people who knew her and so closely and also really wanted to talk to me about her,” she said. “They loved her and they wanted to bring their friend into the room.” After portraying Princess Margaret for two series of the hit Netflix show, Bonham Carter will hand over the role to Lesley Manville for the final seasons.
