Vanessa Kirby Just Confirmed Her ‘The Crown’ Season 3 Successor

Vanessa Kirby, who played Princess Margaret in the first two seasons of The Crown, is officially passing the tiara.

Queen Elizabeth II’s onscreen sis confirmed that Helena Bonham Carter will take over her role for the third season with a mic drop of an Instagram photo.

In the snap, Kirby poses with a very excited Bonham Carter. The Crown alum captioned the post, “Honoured @thecrownnetflix.”

Bonham Carter is no stranger to portraying the royal family; the celebrated British actress played the Queen Mother in The King’s Speech, which centered on QEII’s father, King George VI.

Netflix has yet to confirm whether Bonham Carter will join Olivia Colman as the next crop of royals.

Just be careful, ladies. That royal headwear is heavy.
