@d 2020 . You have misspoken. Princess Margaret most certainly was allowed to marry Peter Townsend . She had to make a choice though, marry and give up the royal life or not marry and remain royal with all of the perks. She made her choice.
@d 2020 . The royal family most certainly did not kill Margaret's spirit or body. Margaret, herself made the decision to give up love . She had a choice and her decision was to stay royal and enjoy all of the money and perks. Additionally, nobody forced Margaret to destroy her body. She chose to smoke and drink heavily. She was an adult. You really can't blame others for her behavior.
It's horrifying and unfortunate that Helena didn't win an Emmy nor a Golden Globe for her performance in the third season of The Crown! She better win some awards for the fourth one at least!
But there are too many competitions this season Lol Emma Corrin, Gillian Anderson and maybe others, I really do hope she earned one though but it’s extremely challenging.
@@ais8358 Completely agree, I don't think Olivia's nailed the character or the accent the way Claire and Helena both have. I like Olivia in many things, I've seen her do wonderful work, but I don't think this is her best.
As wonderful as Olivia is, I feel that HM should've been portrayed by a more beautiful woman, as awful as that sounds. I also thought at one point that Dan Stevens was a missed opportunity as Prince Philip
I genuinely believe that Helena Bonham Carter did the best job as Princess Margaret. Nobody could have done it better. Sure, Vanessa Kirby was fantastic, but to potray the Princess in this age was a job for Helena.
I agree. Vanessa has blue eyes like Margaret, whereas Helena's are brown. Vanessa played a great young Margaret. However, Helena Bonham Carter was a brilliant choice for the more mature Margaret.
@@marylouise2207 it confused me too in the series I don't understand why they just didn't make Helena put on blue contacts because it kind of throws me off sometimes when they foreshadow in the childhood Margaret and the young adult Margaret has blue eyes but then the older age Margaret has brown eyes kind of weird
But Margaret died February 9th 2002. She still has time they might cover her stroke Dianna dies first then then Margaret then Queen Mother March 30 2002. They can't kill her till about season 5 or 6th.😖 😬🤦🏾♀️
@@MsKewi-NYC they change cast every two seasons to keep in line with the aging of the character, like they replace Claire Foy with Olivia Coleman in Season 3. So The Crown will have an entire new cast next season, every character, except (maybe) Diana, because this is her first season
The cast is being completely replaced for season 5 (2022) and season SIX!!!!! The actress who played Dolores Umbbridge in the Harry Potter films will play the Queen for the last 2 seasons. No other casting picks announced yet.
The one overall flaw of this show is that the cast is so bloody talented that half of them don't have enough screen time. I would've loved more of HBC and Princess Anne these last 2 seasons. Both amazing performances with such little time to shine.
The dynamic between Margaret and Elizabeth is truly one of the most unique of all, since realistically, only Margaret could talk to her sister the Queen, in a way that simply no one could ever do so. Its also cute when they have scenes together where they act more like a pair of sisters than monarch and princess.
@@NotMykl Not like sisters, cuz they're not normal sisters, but royalty. That's the perception a lot of uninformed viewers, like me, had before going in.
Helena proves that she can do no wrong! I love that she got the chance to show off her dramatic chops in the episode about Elizabeth and Margaret's long lost cousins, and that she suggested that Margaret would object to Charles and Diana's wedding, since she didn't want them to end up in a crumbling marriage like her own. 😭😔 👑
Princess margaret, the most genuine person in this tv series. I admire her strength to speak her mind clearly. Helena did a fantastic job portraying this character.
@@Kwabenagyam And it's a very good bit of writing to actually be able to make one feel bad for Margaret Thatcher of all people. Like, damn it, I'm not supposed to feel sympathy for one of Satan's finest agents.
@@MaxxCoyote I'm not British so could you maybe explain to my why a lot of people hate Thatcher? I know that one of the things she does is closing the mining industry so is that the reason people didn't like her?
@@justalex2487 There are so many things... I personally think she did a lot of good and whole bunch of bad to the UK. She managed to change Britain to the better in such a violent way. She killed so many Irish people. She was homophobic and sexist. She was very confrontational against her own party, politicians, her own country and others as well. She didn't place sanctions against South Africa during apartheid. A reason being that her son Mark had businesses in SA, excusing it as a way to protect the fragile economy of England. She closed mines and minimize the state's size in a moment of great misery in the UK as a whole.
I'm pretty sure that Princess Margaret died in 2002. They had crossed paths a few times I think there's a interview from Helena somewhere on a night show where she talks about it.
Whenever there's Helena in a movie, or a series, I definitely watch it. She's captivated me, when I first got to watch Harry Potter movies, as Bellatrix when I was in my fourth grade. Love her. Bloody amazing actress! She's always top notch! 🙌🏻
I loved Helena so much, she did an amazing job. Her delivery was perfect. I just love the scene in Season 3 when a reporter asks her what she is looking forward to in America and she just pauses and then says "Liberty". I don't know why I love it so much I just do.
Princess Margaret to me shall and always will be Helena's. Helena gave her everything a great personality, she had her ups and downs, moments when all you wanted to do was jump into the screen and give her a hug and tell everything was going to be alright, but above all else she made Margaret relatable for the viewers. Helena you shall be greatly missed. Such a beautiful actress to go with an equal as beautiful character within herself.
I love how they established her as a kind of auntie figure in the family. Auntie Margaret, you know that kind of funny, likes to drink and smoke, everybody has someone like that in their family. Helena Bonham Carter fitted that role immensely.
Helena is absolutely terrific actress. She is great in this role. She shows the complexity, heartbreak and mental health problems. Princess Margaret in real life also had mental health problems. As for the tv show princess Margaret she is shown to be always in sister's shadow, denied marriage with Peter Townsend, disastrous marriage to Armstrong Jones.
I never saw The Crown, but she is an incredible talent! I loved her in The King’s Speech. She played so many weird roles that I think a lot of people didn’t think she could do serious roles.
Probably has to do with Judy Garland being one of the first celebrities to openly admit she had homosexual friends. Hollywood actually was full of them but 70 years ago people treated them like lepers so most of them did go quite some lengths to appear "straight". Rather than saying "A friend of Judy Garland's" they used her most famous role Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz instead.
Helena Bonham Carter is such a phenomenal actress that she played two members of the royal family (Queen Mother in "King's Speech" and Margaret in "The Crown") and absolutely nailed each performance. What a Queen!
It literally broke my heart the scene between Queen and her sister and the cough. I can imagine losing their father was a painful period in both their lives. I hope that they weren't so distant/ formal as portrayed on the series and they supported each other.
That was a great opening of a new episode with a fabulous David Bowie track and cute but funniest of dance moves by Tom Burke and Helena Bonham Carter. Simply a remarkable, unforgettable scene.🤩👏🏼
@@ririschannelx Really..? Never knew that before, that’s quite interesting actually as Bowie songs were also featured a couple of times before in the previous episodes of The Crown. Thank you for the info.😃👍🏼
I knew Helena was a fabulous actress! But she impressed me so much as Princess Margaret! I just couldn’t believe it! Perfect casting! She’s wonderful! ❤️
People don't realise that being a royal is not freedom, its not all fub and living in wealth. It can be lonely , controlling, depressing and unfulling. And this is for all royals or at least most of them around the world. Loved Helenas portrayal.
This show is truly a masterpiece. The characters, the acting, the cinematography, the music, the sets, everything about it is a timeless classic. Fact or fiction, not even the royal family can deny the enticing nature of the stories told in this gem of a show.
"...If it was a normal evening we'd all be on our own, in sad isolation, in individual palaces..." (@ 6:30) Hands down my all time fav quote from The Crown delivered with perfect deadpan intonation by Helena Bonham Carter.
I never watched season 1 or 2 but as soon as I heard Helena was going to play Princess Margaret in 3 and 4 I immediately went straight to those seasons, she did such a wonderful job as Margaret showing the princesses party and fun side but also a sense of vulnerability and a side that showed her as relatable. I really enjoyed the show very much
HBC, not only an outstanding beauty, a wonderful actress with a lovely speaking voice and she’s very intelligent. I should hate but I really admire her. She can take on any role
The show speculated over whether or not she would’ve been a better queen. The monarchy certainly would’ve modernized a lot faster under her stewardship, she still wouldn’t have been allowed to marry Peter Townsend no question, I don’t know that Snowden would have made proper consort material. But the question is still begged would she had been the better queen? And then I see the scene where she handled Mrs. Thatcher, and then there’s no question about it.
‘Apparently the healing can not start until grandiosity is diminished.’ - I never noticed this line in The Crown before. It’s in the book I am reading ‘Drama of the Gifted Child’. Narcissist rarely seek recovery because they blame everyone else for their issues. Margaret as she is written in The Crown is very high on narcissism spectrum. As are both Princes of Wales.
Helena is superb. What a great actress she has become.. In Margaret, she finds every nuiance: her wit, her courage and her unhappiness. Superb👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m watching the crown for the first time and I just got to season 3 and saw Helena. I was so excited because I knew she would nail being Princess Margaret.
What a beautiful woman. I have thought so since the first time I saw her on screen. I do realize I’m getting old. HBC is just gold. And putting the arrogant Di in her place was just more gold! Loved it!
"You've made this far"
Slays me every time 😂
and that quiet "bravo" omg.
I laughed out loud. He said it with such a straight face,
That delivery is a single awarding winning moment
yeah. That was good....
Poor Harold he can't laugh in fornt of the queen
my face light up each time there's a Princess Margaret scene just because I know I would love to see whatever she's about to do
Me too
Same...
And to hear her sassy one-liners
And listen to her rudeness! What a nasty spoiled person!
Me, too! I'm always happy when she gets screen time.
Her story was as sad as Diana’s in my opinion. She was mistreated and misunderstood. They made her choose between her love and title, a decision that she regretted for the rest of her life.

I love the face the Queen Mother makes when she says "everything improves with a drink." It's like she's seriously lit as she says it.

In Margaret, she finds every nuiance: her wit, her courage and her unhappiness. Superb👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Her act as this princess made me both laugh and cry.
I’m watching the crown for the first time and I just got to season 3 and saw Helena. I was so excited because I knew she would nail being Princess Margaret.
Helenas portrayal really grew on me in season 4. It really reminded me of Vanessa Kirbys Margaret
This show continuously Breaks My Heart by blessing us with amazing casts and taking them away after two very short seasons
Helena Bonham Carter is one of the greats.
She was remarkably brilliant in every emotion, in every scene
The queen mother and the queen are 2 incompassionate I have ever heard of.
If only Margaret had Married Townsend she would have lived a happy life
What a beautiful woman. I have thought so since the first time I saw her on screen. I do realize I’m getting old. HBC is just gold. And putting the arrogant Di in her place was just more gold! Loved it!
For me Helena bonham Carter is tge female version of Johnny Depp
Genuinely in love with HBC, she's just so amazing at every part she's ever played.
but like, everything does improve with a drink
Or, you just forget & don’t care 😂
@@221BSam true 😂
What about alcoholism
@@guilleguz_1212 That's drinking too much. For most people, a nice drink is a treat and brings joy into our gloomy lives 🤣
@@guilleguz_1212 that works too
I appreciate that this about Margaret, but Helena Bonham Carter never ceases to blow me away
This sister duo is so entertaining.
The versatility of this lady is way beyond anyone else. Damn.
