Queen Camilla meets . . . Princess Margaret?!

<p>In a collision of regal proportions, the world witnessed an unforgettable convergence of the fictitious and the real, as the one and only Helena Bonham Carter, famous for her portrayal of the indomitable Princess Margaret in seasons three and four of <em>The Crown</em>, found herself in the splendid company of none other than the Queen Consort herself, Camilla, at Clarence House.</p> <p>The rendezvous occurred at a glitzy reception held to celebrate 30 years of the Forward Arts Foundation. The Foundation, on a mission to spread the love of poetry throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland, decided to throw this soiree just as London was gearing up for another artistic extravaganza: Frieze Week. Clearly, this was a battle for the city's cultural heart, and poetry had the honour of setting the stage.</p> <p>The highlight of the evening, however, was the majestic meeting of the minds between Bonham Carter and the Queen Consort. As they locked eyes, it was hard to tell who was more starstruck. The actress executed a curtsey so profound it nearly reached the Earth's core before engaging the Queen in delightful conversation.</p> <p>In a refreshing break from her usual attire, which would make even the most extravagant peacock jealous, Bonham Carter sported a dress adorned with bright florals and black feathers, accented by pink ribbons in her hair. Camilla, on the other hand, stole the sartorial spotlight in an arresting peacock feather print shirt dress that must've made any nearby birds quite envious.</p> <p>But Bonham Carter wasn't content with merely being a guest; she also graced the audience with her talents by reciting a poem. Her choice was William Stafford's "Yes," a poem that would have moved Shakespeare himself to stand up, clap and stomp his booted feet.</p> <p>William Sieghart, the founder of the Forward Arts Foundation, expressed his immense pride in the work of the foundation and thanked the Queen for her involvement, calling it "proof of the pudding" that they were indeed making progress.</p> <p>Among the distinguished guests at this intimate soirée were previous winners of the Forward Prizes for Poetry, including the Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, the actress Karen Bryson, and Bonham Carter’s former <em>The Crown</em> co-star, Natascha McElhone. </p> <p>Speaking of royalty, Netflix's juggernaut series, <em>The Crown</em>, has once again captured our attention. The recent announcement of the November and December release dates for the final season has ignited a whirlwind of excitement and speculation. The promotional artwork for this last hurrah features a moody and atmospheric image of the Queen, played by the talented Imelda Staunton, and a reimagining of the iconic photograph of Princess Diana poised on the diving board of a yacht in Portofino, just a week before her untimely departure from this world.</p> <p>While fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming season, it hasn't been without its controversies. Critics have <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/entertainment/tv/major-twist-in-store-for-final-season-of-the-crown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raised their eyebrows at reports</a> suggesting that the show will include depictions of Princess Diana's "ghost". </p> <p>Bonham Carter herself, who graciously passed her fictitious tiara to Leslie Manville for the final seasons, has spoken out about the show's duty to distinguish between fact and artistic license. During a chat on the show's official podcast back in 2020, she insisted that <em>The Crown</em> carries a "moral responsibility" to remind viewers that this is a work of fiction inspired by facts, not an educational documentary. It's a reminder to us all that even the fanciest of crowns can come with a little disclaimer.</p> <p>So, as the final season of <em>The Crown</em> approaches, we can only wonder what other regal surprises are in store for us. In the meantime, let's raise a glass to the poetic evening at Clarence House, where fact met fiction, and where, for a brief moment, we were all kings and queens of our own whimsical kingdom.</p> <p><em>Images: Getty</em></p>

Helena Bonham Carter opens up about incredible link to Princess Margaret

<p>Helena Bonham Carter, who is set to play the Queen’s sister, Princess Margaret in the third and fourth seasons of the Netflix series<span> </span>The Crown<span> </span>has revealed she has a particularly unique connection to the royal. </p> <p>When speaking to British edition of<a rel="noopener" href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/" target="_blank"><span> </span>Harper’s Bazaar</a>,<span> </span>Bonham Carter says her uncle Mark once had a relationship with the royal. </p> <p>"He was in the Grenadiers, I think, and he guarded Margaret and Elizabeth at Windsor. And then they met, and I think there was a romance. He was really dashing..,” she said. </p> <p>During a conversation at the Cheltenham Literary Festival, the actress noted she has photographs of the couple together. </p> <p>While they didn’t last together as a couple, as Princess Margaret would go on to marry and then divorce Antony Armstrong Jones, the royal and her uncle maintained a close relationship. </p> <p><img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7832186/bonham-carter.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/fb7a82a1fff04d298d96b81162c62f0c" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">Princess Margaret with Mark Bonham carter at the February 1954 premiere of <em>Kiss Me Kate.</em></p> <p>"[They] remained good friends," she said, per<span> </span><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Sun.</a><span> </span>"It's weird, I basically went out with my uncle."</p> <p>Bonham Carter has proven to be a dedicated actress, and opened up about her unique methods to prepare for her role on<span> </span>The Crown. </p> <p>The actress admitted she communicated with Princess Margaret from beyond the grave through a psychic, as well as using more traditional methods by speaking to several of the late royal’s ladies-in-waiting, and her hairdresser. </p> <p>"They spent hours talking about her, mainly because they loved her," Bonham Carter said. "They felt very strongly that a whole chunk of her character had never been recorded."</p> <p>An interesting quirk about the royal was she preferred her lipstick angled a certain way to coat both her lips in one swipe. </p> <p>"The less effort, the better, which is very high-status," Bonham Carter said. "And she always wore a corset because she felt vulnerable, it was her emotional armour—she said of herself that her confidence was enamel-thin."</p> <p>All 10 episodes of<span> </span>The Crown's<span> </span>third season drop on Netflix November 17.

Helena Bonham Carter uses psychic to contact Princess Margaret for acting tips from beyond the grave

<p>Actress Helena Bonham Carter has revealed that she’s reached out to Princess Margaret via a psychic to ask for her permission to play her in Netflix’s show<span> </span><em>The Crown</em>.</p> <p>Princess Margaret passed away at the age of 71 back in 2002, so Bonham Carter thought that it would only be right to reach out and get permission before she went forth playing the lady herself.</p> <p>“She said, apparently, she was glad it was me,” Bonham Carter, 53, revealed at <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/helena-bonham-carter-tells-cheltenham-3398590" target="_blank">a sold-out session at the Cheltenham Literary Festival</a> on October 5.</p> <p>“When you play someone real, you really want their blessing because you do have a responsibility.</p> <p>“I asked her, ‘Are you OK with me playing you?’ And she said, ‘You’re better than the other actress that they were thinking of.’</p> <p>“That made me think maybe she is here because it’s a really classic Margaret thing to say – she is really good at complimenting you and putting you down at the same time.”</p> <p>Reaching out to someone from beyond the grave is nothing new for Bonham Carter as she always talks to a psychic when playing a real person who has passed away.</p> <p>The Queen’s younger sister also included some rules for Bonham Carter to follow.</p> <p>She said, “You’re going to have to brush up and be more groomed and neater.”</p> <p>Bonham Carter has been excited to play the role for a while, as Princess Margaret is known in a “one dimensional” way by the public.</p> <p>“Everyone has such a particular idea of Margaret. It’s very daunting and I don’t really look like her,” she told <em><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/politics/helena-bonham-carter-known-vulnerable-tricky-combination/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a> </em>in December 2018.</p> <p>“But like the Queen, no one really knows what they’re like privately, so you can make your own choices.”</p> <p>She also confirmed that she researched for the role by talking to people who knew her closely, including relatives and three former ladies-in-waiting.</p> <p>“They really loved her, and when you go to the inner circle of people … they were very happy to talk about her because they miss her,” she said.</p> <p>“I felt very lucky to suddenly be the receptacle of all these stories. I think, for a lot of the friends, they are so tired with her being portrayed in a one-dimensional, very bitchy understanding of her.”</p>

Evocative video of Johnny Cash and June Carter just before his death

<p>On this day 12 years ago, the world lost a great writer, country icon, and music legend: Johnny Cash.</p> <p>On September 12, 2003, the baritone crooner succumbed to complications resulting from his long suffered diabetes mellitus, in Nashville, Tennessee. Cash was 71 at the time of his passing, occurring just four months after the death of his wife, June Carter.</p> <p>His story is a notorious one, having been addicted to amphetamines and barbiturates throughout the 50s. Cash performed countless infamous concerts at prisons and once accidentally set a forest fire that spanned over several hundred acres. He was known for his image as an outlaw, and yet never once had to serve a prison sentence to cement his gritty reputation, despite enduring numerous arrests.</p> <p>In spite of his troubled past – or perhaps, more accurately, because of it – Cash left behind an incalculable legacy within the entertainment industry. Cash recorded with Elvis, encouraged the career of Bob Dylan, starred in his own TV show, created number one tracks such as “Walk the Line”, and even inspired and wrote a blockbuster biographical film of the same title, starring Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix.</p> <p>Before his passing, the rockabilly artist, known for tracks like “A Boy Named Sue” and the cover, “Ring of Fire” penned his final album,<em> American IV: The Man Comes Around</em>, which was released posthumously.</p> <p>The album included a cover of American rock band Nine Inch Nails’ track, “Hurt” for which Cash released a potent, evocative video, featuring his wife, June Carter, just months before their respective deaths. The video depicts Cash in a powerful state of vulnerability that he has never shown before or since. </p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/lifestyle/family/2015/09/retro-teenage-posters/">The best retro posters from the past</a></span></em></strong></p> <p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/finance/insurance/2015/07/10-great-songs-from-the-60s/">10 songs from the 60s you need to revisit now</a></span></em></strong></p> <p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/lifestyle/technology/2015/04/song-identifying-apps/">Apps that can recognise what song is playing</a></span></em></strong></p>
