Princess Margaret Role Recast for Season 5 of "The Crown"
Lesley Manville to Step Down, Pip to Take Over
Season 4 and 5 of "The Crown" Feature Iconic Princess
The popular Netflix series "The Crown" will recast the role of Princess Margaret for its upcoming fifth season, with Pip replacing Lesley Manville, who played the character in seasons 4 and 5.
Manville, a highly acclaimed actress, brought depth and nuance to the role of the Queen's younger sister. However, as the series progresses into the 1990s, the showrunners felt it was time for a younger actress to portray Princess Margaret.
Pip, a rising star known for her performances in films such as "Lady Macbeth" and "Mr. Jones," will embrace the challenge of bringing the complex and fascinating Princess Margaret to life. Her youth and energy will bring a fresh perspective to the character as she navigates the challenges and triumphs of the 1990s.
Season 5 of "The Crown" is expected to premiere in November 2022 and will cover the events of the early 1990s, including the tumultuous marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana and the tragic death of Diana in 1997.
Fans eagerly anticipate Pip's portrayal of Princess Margaret, as she promises to add her unique flair to this iconic character. Her performance is sure to evoke both sympathy and intrigue as she explores the inner workings of the British monarchy during a transformative period.
