“I was really scared at first; I wasn’t immediately going to do it,” said Bonham Carter of taking over the role of Princess Margaret from Vanessa Kirby. “Because when you play somebody who everyone thinks they know, you’ve got that hanging on your shoulder. Then you’ve got another person who just won a BAFTA in a great performance, on the other shoulder, so it was pretty scary.”
