Best of Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret | The Crown 

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

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.

I know, she was robbed, she really deserved to be nominated! 👏🏾😊

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.

She wasn't robbed, there was a lot of competition. Julia Garner also deserved

@@lucasvieira4171 nope not as much as she did.

She had some amazing scenes in season 4 with the hidden relatives storyline.

Equally great actresses

Nina Gold!!

Nina Gold is absolutely a legend in casting and she definitely gets PAID for it.

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

@@katewilliams4013That was an unnecessarily long response, which basically shows that you are perhaps a person with no purpose in her life, and a lot of time on her hands apparently, which makes you write five paragraphs in response to a simple piece of opinion which wasn’t even directed at you. That’s sad! You talk about the freedom of press and speech, yet here you are, lecturing me about how I should think or speak. Not to mention that you don’t even know me. For your information, I just don’t watch TV series. I have read books about these people. They all had flaws and were imperfect (Diana and Margaret included), yet being a royal doesn’t make you immune to misery and sadness. Plus, as a person who claims has read books about these people, you should have known that Diana never married Dodi Fayed, the guy whom you referred to by his race/ethnicity rather than his name. I have sympathized with many people throughout my life and I continue to do so no matter what their background is. So next time, think twice before passing any judgements about other people, especially those whom you don’t know.

@@katewilliams4013 Diana never remarried, don't know where you got that from. Otherwise I agree with a lot of what you say about Diana.

@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.

agree. her life journey is as sad as Diana.

Absolutely right. As much as I love Olivia Colman, HBC was the highlight of series 3 an 4 for me.

Olivia has not nailed the accent like claire !

I love how they call each other "You"

@@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

Ain’t nobody got time for the fringe members of the royal family

It’s better to want more of them than to get bored of them

Agreed

Because it should focus on Queen Elizabeth II..

Anne has no scandal attached to her.OK she is the only member of the royal family with a criminal record but that seemed to blow over pretty quickly

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

@@adrielvelasco7991 Diana sadly is being re-casted. It was announced immediately the series was released

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.

@@adrielvelasco7991 Elizabeth Debicki has been roped in to play lady Di

Considering Elizabeth and Margaret ARE sisters what the hell do you expect them to act like?

@@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.

What are you doing? That's is my button.

Gillian doesn’t deserve the Emmy nomination for Thatcher. I mean, don’t get me wrong, she’s an amazing actor. But her portrayal of Thatcher was just plain wrong. Helena, on the other hand, was pretty spot on.

@@sarthakarora5856 you’re wrong.. toodaloo

I don't know, it might have made the show even more depressing. I don't know much about the real Margaret, but the character in the show seems to be absolutely crushed and defeated by her situation. She has basically resigned herself to the Crown and is watching Diana make the same mistakes, having the gall to think she can have autonomy. Another lamb to the slaughter... In a way, having her mostly in the background is very tragic, and it works. I do love every scene she's in, but I think they gave us just enough.

@@TheBc99 407 is my favourite episode so far (all seasons included) for very personal reasons, that have nothing to do with historical accuracy or even entertainment value. There’s no evidence that suggests that Princess Margaret was the one who found out about the sisters, but I’m glad the writers made her. It makes sense with their characterisation of Margaret. She’s the character I empathised with the most.

Emmys usually have 7-8 spots though. Not like the Oscars here.

Tobias, Helena and Olivia all deserve awards. I loved Tobias' monologue when he was talking to Dean Woods after the moon landing.

I felt so bad for her when Margaret did that😂😂😂

@@nanaowusu-attakorah5069 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.

Thatcher deserved every bit of it. She should have done her homework about protocol and/or brought a guide along to help her.

@@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.

"Isn't that who lives in Earl's Court?" LOL

Да🙂

Yeah, not even Diana

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.

@@katewilliams4013 exactly

THANK YOU for clarifying that!!! I’ve been like what the hell since I first saw this scene.

time stamp?

@@rye-eye 5:29 6:00

I believe Helena is related to the Rothschild's.

Wait hOw did Helena knew Margaret like Helena is young.

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.

@@komaldubey4328 I believe she said her uncle dated the princess at one point

@@ashleypixie3781 she mentioned her uncle dated the princess or something like that

"Not everything" "Don't be such a prick"

She was an untreated alcoholic.Explains slot about her.

I have to say, this is my favourite scene from the entire season, for it's sheer raw emotional power.

И я люблю❤её

The Queen Mum allegedly liked to start her day with a "stiffener".

The Queen Mum once sad: "I'm not as nice, as people think I am.'" Which means she was a beech, just like Margret.

....just realised I'm that one in the family 😆

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

"And you're not allowed to sit in that chair".

But she makes all her characters absolutely identical. Literally the same dark, quirky, tragic woman.

You really like to hate Bellatrix. HBC performed the role brilliantly.

I was also shocked that she was that antagonist in Les Miserables

Episode 9 i think hereditary principle

It was toward the latter part of the season 4.

season 4 episode 7 :)

@@carlarosebecker6116 thank u very much

"What're you doing?! Thets *my* button!"

Cersei

@@mariamara999 Margaret's not as Evil as Cersei

yes!

Well she definitely drank and knew things!

И меня бесит😡

I haven’t yet seen this series but saw that scene. She’s great

Bowie hated the royals and declined a knighthood lol

@@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.😃👍🏼

Holy crap I never realized that😱

Lol. True ha?

When i saw her my first thought was"I KILLED SIRIUS BLACK"😂😂😂😂

@@conserztasfia0078 😭😭😭

Oooh it seems to be difficult for me to recognize Madam Pomfrey with another hairstyle 😆🤦‍♀️ First I discover her in Sense and sensibility because of another comment and now here.

She was allowed to marry Townsend, she choose not to.

She was allowed to, at the expense of being excommunicated from the royal family as an outcast, without the privileges she had been accustomed to depend on. She likely would be rarely seen by her own family. She was put in a horrid situation.

She was allowed to marry him but no doubt she loved being a royal more - I really have no sympathy for this vapid woman.

@@msg4141 She saw what her uncle went through and didn’t want to go through the same. Imagine living your whole life performing duties and living in this lifestyle for it to be taken away from you? You think that would be an easy decision. Pfft. What if that marriage didn’t work out in the end? She’d be left with nothing. Not like he was a faithful man. Wasn’t he married at the time he fell for her?!

@@leval1000 @Le Val Nothing in life is guaranteed. FYI the man she married and had children with had affairs with women and men throughout their marriage so did she. And did she not divorce her children's father anyway. The issue is that she wasn't trained for anything and didn't seem keen to apply herself to anything other than partying, smoking, drinking and chasing young men. Also ended up dying alone and lonely.

o, but she did choose the royal position an much more money and all of the publicity. She did choose that herself. For herself. She wasn t a victim here. It was a choise she made.

The monarch always leaves everything to the next monarch. Inheritance taxes, which are 80-90% at their level, are avoided that way, since only the monarch is exempted from paying them. It is up to that heir or heiress to give some of the inheritance to others in the family as personal gifts. I'm sure the king made it plain to his elder daughter exactly what he wanted the others to have after he was gone. 🤔

@@h.calvert3165 very true

Or she could have just left with him if she loved him enough. She cared more about money and fame.

@@arianah8842 very true. She so liked beeing royal and was an awfull snob.

Who is Dorothy????

@@For_Cruyff_Sake it means he was gay

Irina DS: Famously

I just got it, was so confuse at first, now that I think about it I can't stop thinking of over the rainbow o.o

@@LolixBelle It took me a while to get the pun as well. But once I got it i couldn't stop thinking how ingenious it is.

You should watch the first seasons though. Foy, Kirby and Smith are marvelous in it

@@jollyfighter7319 I might have to check them out

Was a beauty 20 years ago. Time is merciless.

@@mariamara999 I think she is a beauty. Time also ages to perfection. When you are more mature, you will understand. :)
