Helena Bonham Carter's Royal Revelations: From 'The Crown' to Harry's Book
We all loved Helena Bonham Carter as the rebellious Princess Margaret in Netflix's colossal hit, "The Crown". But with the series approaching more contemporary times, our beloved Helena has her reservations.
Princess Margaret Vs. Prince Harry's Tale
Helena, never one to shy from sharing her thoughts, has played the royal "spare" on screen, and when probed about the real-life royal "spare" – Prince Harry and his controversial book – her reply was classic Helena: “I don’t really want to contribute to the whole thing. It’s complicated and it’ll get taken out of context.” as reported by The Guardian. "Spare", Harry's book, has made headlines and seems like it’s a touchy subject even for the actor who's been part of the royal drama on screen.
Helena's Bold Call: Halt 'The Crown'!
The enchanting actress, while reminiscing her time with "The Crown", expressed her concerns about the show's trajectory. “I should be careful here too, but I don’t think they should carry on, actually. I’m in it and I loved my episodes, but it’s very different now,” she shared, indicating the shift from the series being a historic drama to it intertwining with present-day events.
As we all wait for the heart-wrenching sixth season that will depict Princess Diana’s tragic demise, reports suggest that it might be the series' curtain call. Peter Morgan, the genius behind the series, has always been clear about one thing. He needs a decade, at least, to frame events into a script. “Peter has said it very articulately, that he simply can’t write something unless there has been time to gain a proper perspective,” Mackie enlightened the fans in a conversation with Broadcast Now. Will Morgan's 10-year rule end "The Crown" sooner than fans hope?
In Conclusion: A Royal Toss-Up
From enchanting the audience as Princess Margaret to sharing her two cents on real-life royal controversies, Helena Bonham Carter continues to be a captivating force. While "The Crown" may or may not heed her call, one thing’s clear: with or without the series, Helena’s reign in our hearts continues!
