Ready to close the chapter. After starring as Princess Margaret on The Crown in seasons 3 and 4, Helena Bonham Carter doesn’t believe the Netflix drama should continue.
“I should be careful here too, but I don’t think they should carry on, actually,” the Harry Potter actress, 56, told The Guardian in an interview published on Sunday, January 29. “I’m in it and I loved my episodes, but it’s very different now.”
She continued: “When The Crown started it was a historic drama, and now it’s crashed into the present. But that’s up to them.”
The Crown, helmed by Peter Morgan, premiered in November 2016 and chronicled the years of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign following her June 1953 coronation. Claire Foy and Matt Smith played young versions of the late queen and Prince Philip, who died in 2022 and 2021, respectively. By season 3, Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies had taken over the roles. Margaret, Elizabeth’s younger sister who died in 2002, was played by Vanessa Kirby in the first two seasons with Bonham Carter stepping in during the third season, which was released in November 2019.
“Well, actually, the real Margaret didn’t mind about being number two, but she did mind being really short,” the Sweeney Todd actress told The Guardian on Sunday about portraying the late Countess of Snowden. “She was just 5 [feet tall], so there was something in her posture to maximize every little millimeter. She had her car seat elevated so she could be seen.”
She added: “And a lot of it was the need not to be overlooked, probably prompted by her great-grandmother saying something about the fact that she was tiny. And that scarred her. It’s funny what we carry – a complex that can govern all our behavior.”

Seeing the nifty grifter drama Sharper reminded me how rarely we encounter this kind of clever cat-and-mouse game that might fall into the noirish genre but really relies on diving into a world filled with characters who reveal slices of their lives that keep changing moment to moment. It is the kind of movie I find enormously difficult to review because its ultimate success for a viewer is just watching it unfold, beat by beat, never quite knowing exactly where it is heading but still glued to the screen to find out.
