Netflix's The Crownis gradually rolling out the casting for its fifth and final season — and now we have a Princess Margaret.
English actress Lesley Manville will take on the role of Queen Elizabeth II's younger sister in Peter Morgan's series — Princess Margaret has been formidably played by Vanessa Kirby in the first two seasons, and Helena Bonham-Carter in the third.
Manville, who was nominated for an Academy Award and a BAFTA for her role in Phantom Thread, joins Harry Potter actress Imelda Staunton, who was announced as Queen Elizabeth II for The Crown's final season in Jan. 2020, replacing Olivia Colman.

“I could not be happier to be playing Princess Margaret,” reads a quote from Manville shared by The Crown's Twitter account. “The baton is being passed on from two formidable actresses and I really don’t want to let the side down. Furthermore to play siblings with my dear friend Imelda Staunton will be nothing short of a complete joy.”

Exactly how Manville intends to prepare for the role of Princess Margaret remains to be seen, but we'll be watching — Bonham Carter consulted a psychic for the princess's "blessing," after all.
