    The actress who plays Princess Margaret agrees that the Netflix royal drama series is just a fiction based around some real events amid concerns that it could damage the future king’s reputation.

    Dec 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Helena Bonham Carter is keen for “The Crown” to stress the show is”not a drama-doc” and events have been “dramatized.”
    U.K. Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden hit headlines over the weekend (28-29Nov20) with his revelation that he’s planning to write to Netflix to ask them to put a warning on the show, about Britain’s Royal Family, for viewers to make it clear that it’s dramatised. And now Helena – who formerly starred as Princess Margaret in the programme – has told the New York Post’s Page Six that she agrees that it’s important to make a distinction between “our version” and the “real version.”
    “It is dramatised. I do feel very strongly, because I think we have a moral responsibility to say, ‘Hang on guys, this is not… it’s not a drama-doc, we’re making a drama.’ So they are two different entities,” she said.

    Princess Diana’s brother Earl Spencer is among the other big names to have called for warnings at the start of “The Crown” as season four depicts his late sister’s relationship with her former husband Prince Charles.
    “I think it would help The Crown an enormous amount if, at the beginning of each episode, it stated that, ‘This isn’t true but it is based around some real events,’ ” Spencer told ITV. “I worry people do think that this is gospel and that’s unfair.”
    The depiction of Charles in the programme, played by Josh O’ Connor, has apparently led to concerns that it could permanently damage the reputation of the future king.

      Helena Bonham Carter Swipes Props From 'The Crown' and Plans to Sell Them on eBay

      by

      Netflix

      The actress who played Princess Margaret in season 3 and 4 of the Netflix royal series reveals she took a lot of props from the set and might sell them online.
      Aug 2, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Helena Bonham Carter has joked she’s planning to sell the expensive props she nabbed from “The Crown” set on auction site eBay.
      The 54-year-old actress played Princess Margaret in season three and four of the hit Netflix show. She’s now handed over the role to successor Lesley Manville as the royal drama continues telling its chronological tale, but managed to take some souvenirs from the set before the gig came to an end.
      “I got loads of stuff – it’s all going on eBay. I’ve got lots of pearls, though I’ll send those back,” she told Britain’s The Sun newspaper. “But we got real, proper props. There was this lighter which was fantastically heavy – it was pure gold, it was ridiculous.”
      “I was like, ‘How much did this cost?’ And they told me and it was just shocking.”
      Helena became synonymous with the cigarette holder Margaret is always seen with thanks to her role in the show and, in another interview with Radio Times magazine, the British star said she should use the accessory as a baton to pass to Lesley.
      “I feel like I should be handing over a baton, like this race we are all running,” she smiled. “With Lesley, I feel like I should hand the cigarette holder that I used as a baton. Here you are, over to you!”
      “She’s going to have a great time with her and I’m so chuffed it’s her and she’s a great actress and she’ll have great fun.”

      In the two-minute film titled ‘Das Fone Hell’, the ‘Ocean’s 8’ actress portrays an annoyed iPhone belonging to the ‘Jurassic Park’ star after being left behind for 10 minutes.
      May 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actress Helena Bonham Carter and “Jurassic Park” star Sam Neill have teamed up for a new lockdown-themed short movie, “Das Fone Hell”.
      The funny two-minute film, which Neill posted to his Instagram page, features Carter portraying Neill’s iPhone – which is very upset to be left behind for 10 minutes when Neill goes out to get groceries.
      “This profound and heartbreakingly candid insight into Modern Life will shake you to the core,” Neill joked of the clip.
      “Think very carefully what might’ve happened in those 10 minutes,” Carter scolds Neill in the clip. “The Kardashians could’ve had another baby. Ariana Grande could’ve dropped a single. Trump could’ve bombed Beijing for ratings….”

      It’s not the first project of its kind for Neill, who posted a similar feature, called “Das Underachiever”, featuring “The Matrix” star Hugo Weaving, last week (ends May 22).
      “We all know SOMEONE so has been annoyingly productive in lockdown – multiply that and … see what follows (sic)…,” he teased of that film.
      Watch them both on Neill’s Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/samneilltheprop/.
