Vanessa Kirby played the role of Princess Margaret on the Netflix series The Crown for two seasons, but the time has come to pass the baton to Helena Bonham Carter for Season 3 of the hit series about Queen Elizabeth. Kirby says that she can’t imagine passing the role onto anyone better suited.
Town & Country says that Vanessa was the one who hinted on Instagram that Helena got the plum role.
“It’s funny because I bumped into her at a play and I knew she got the part at that point. She made her mom take pictures of us, and she sent me the pictures. I put one on Instagram because of course I was really honored!”
Kirby says it was only after she posted the photo that The Crown production told her that the information was not public yet. Oops.
