Jason Watkins has been tapped to play former British Prime Minister Harold Wilson on Netflix's original drama series The Crown. Additionally, Helena Bonham Carter has been officially confirmed to play Princess Margaret on the upcoming third season, slated to premiere in 2019. She will take over the role played in the first two seasons by Vanessa Kirby.

The second season of The Crown premiered December 8 on Netflix. In it, Margaret married Antony Armstrong-Jones, the Earl of Snowdon (Matthew Goode) and the season ended with her pregnant with one of their children.
