On the official Twitter page of the hit show,
producers of the Netflix drama on Wednesday released a photo of
Bonham Carter as Queen Elizabeth's younger sister staring
haughtily at a cigarette holder
Bonham Carter, who has starred in films such as "Big Fish",
"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Harry Potter", takes
over the role from British actress Vanessa Kirby, who portrayed
the younger Margaret in the first two seasons of the drama.
It is not the first time Bonham Carter, 52, has played a member
of the British royal family. In "The King's Speech", she played
the late Queen Mother, mother of Elizabeth and Margaret.
A picture of "House of Cards" actor Ben Daniels as photographer
Antony Armstrong-Jones, who was married to Margaret from 1960 to
1978, was also released.
A new cast is taking over for seasons three and four, covering
the period 1964 to 1976, as the characters age.
The release of the latest photos comes after a first look at
Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth on Monday. In that picture, the
actress, known for television series "Broadchurch" and "The
Night Manager", is seen dressed in a pink jacket and pearl
necklace drinking from a tea cup.
"The Crown" kicked off with the 1947 marriage of the young
Princess Elizabeth, played by Claire Foy, before she became
queen, and Prince Philip, played by Matt Smith. In the new
series Tobias Menzies will play Philip.
