Princess Margaret, The Countess of Snowden, was Queen Elizabeth II’s younger sister. As portrayed in The Crown, Margaret fell in love with Peter Townsend, who divorced his first wife so he could marry her. The Church of England didn’t approve of the possible marriage and forced Margaret to break up with him.

Vanessa Kirby, pictured on the left, looks like a mirror image of Princess Margaret. Since wrapping the second season of The Crown, Kirby has stepped away from period pieces to become an action star. In 2018, she starred with Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible: Fallout.
