The actress has signed up for the fifth and final season to play Princess Margaret, the Queen's younger sister, taking over from Helena Bonham Carter. Princess Margaret was also portrayed by Vanessa Kirby in the first two seasons.
Production on the new season will begin next year. The show's final iteration will bring the royal family into the early 2000s. The cast also includes Imelda Staunton, who will play Queen Elizabeth II, replacing Olivia Colman.

"I could not be happier to be playing Princess Margaret. The Baton is being passed on from two formidable actresses and I really don't want to let the side down. To play siblings with my dear friend Imelda Staunton will be nothing short of a complete joy".
