Helena Bonham Carter Tapped to Play Princess Margaret on 'The Crown'!

It was announced earlier that Olivia Colman would be replacing Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth in the upcoming third and fourth seasons, which have not yet been ordered but are expected.

According to People, Carter was reportedly at first being considered for the role of Queen Elizabeth, but it was eventually decided that Margaret would be a better fit for the star. Someone has to bring their own fatigue to it.

Vanessa Kirby has been so glorious as Princess Margaret in seasons one and two that it's hard to imagine anyone else living up to her performance - but hey, it's HBC. "The feelings we all have as 50-year-olds are different than the feelings we all have as 30-year-olds", Morgan explained.

She's already cut her teeth on a royal role, portraying Queen Elizabeth I in The Kings Speech, which she earned an Academy Award nomination.

US Company Starts Up A New Search For MH370

Netflix is currently undergoing a major casting update on its historical drama, The Crown, and is now looking to add a multiple Oscar nominee to its ranks. Kirby said of her replacement in December.

Oh, Ms. Foy, you are far too humble. It's also proven to be a solid ratings hit, with nearly 3 million Netflix subscribers tuning into the season two premiere within the first three days of its release, according to Nielsen.

Kirby confessed to Variety that she only researched her character up to 1964, which is the year Season 2 ends.

Obviously as a young monarch Margaret would be topless on stamps and rather than keeping corgis, a dog destined to be seen more often on a biscuit tin lid than in real life, she'd have chosen a fleet of ornamental poodles. She's going to make Princess Margaret a legend.
