OLIVIA COLMAN, Helena Bonham Carter and more are officially in royal mode. The new cast of “The Crown” gave a sneak peek of the next season of the Netflix hit, posing in costume for the cover of the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly (EW). Colman, who is taking over the role of Queen Elizabeth II from Claire Foy, and Bonham Carter, who replaces Vanessa Kirby as the monarch’s sister Princess Margaret, sport tiaras, gowns and long white gloves for the portraits — including a shot where Bonham Carter makes a pouty face as she faces her onscreen sibling. The third and fourth seasons will also star Tobias Menzies, who is replacing Matt Smith as Prince Philip. His resemblance to the Queen’s husband is uncanny in the photos as he wears a classic tuxedo and bow tie. Bonham Carter also had some fun with Ben Daniels, who plays Princess Margaret’s husband Antony Armstrong-Jones. Although the new season will follow the demise of their marriage, the duo showed off the more fun side of their relationship by posing on a chaise lounge. “They’re completely addicted to each other,” Daniels told EW. “Even right up until the minute they were getting divorced, they still had a really strong physical relationship. People often said that it was like foreplay for them, having a big row. They would have these huge rows and then amazing sex.” Season 3 of the drama will premiere Nov. 17.(SD-Agencies) |
