The Ocean’s Eight actress is set to star in the third season of The Crown as Princess Margaret — a role played by Vanessa Kirby in the series’ initial two seasons.
The royal passed away 17 years ago at the age of 71, but that did not stop Bonham Carter from seeking her blessing.
The actress reportedly got in touch with a psychic in order to make contact with the late princess.
“She said, apparently, she was glad it was me,” Bonham Carter said. “My main thing when you play someone who is real, you kind of want their blessing because you have a responsibility.”
Bonham Carter takes that responsibility seriously and heeded Margaret when she had some words of advice on how to emulate her.
“She said: ‘But you’re going to have to brush up and be more groomed and neater,’” Bonham Carter said. “Then she said: ‘Get the smoking right. I smoked in a very particular way. Remember that – this is a big note – the cigarette holder was as much a weapon for expression as it was for smoking.’”
Season 3 of The Crown debuts on Netflix on November 17th.

The show’s first two seasons covered the early years of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign as she was played by Claire Foy, and Matt Smith portrayed her consort, Prince Phillip.
The much-anticipated third season will make a time leap as we embark on the period leading up to Margaret Thatcher’s election as British Prime Minister between 1964-1977.
The role of the Queen is set to be taken over by Olivia Colman, who recently won an Oscar for her part in The Favourite.
Tobias Menzies will fill the role of Prince Phillip, while Helena Bonham Carter will succeed Vanessa Kirby as Princess Margaret.
The first teaser for season 3 gives us a look at Colman as Her Majesty, decked out in official regalia.
While season 3 is expected on November 17th, season 4 is also in production, with Gillian Anderson set to play Thatcher.

Legendary Entertainment has tapped Cavill to take on the iconic role of Sherlock Holmes in a new film.
Based on the Enola Holmes Mysteries novel series by Nancy Springer, the film will focus on the young female detective who is the sister of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes.
Despite being less well-known than her infamous brothers, Enola is quite capable in her investigative skills — even though she is only 14-years-old.
Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things is set to star and produce the film adaptation, which is being directed by Harry Bradbeer and written by Jack Thorne.
In addition to Cavill’s casting, Ocean’s Eight star Helena Bonham Carter is attached to play the trio’s mother.
There are currently six books in the Enola Holmes Mysteries series, with it not yet revealed which will inspire the big screen adaptation.
