She was really good at complimenting you and putting you down at the same time. “That made me think maybe she is here, because that is a classic Margaret thing to say. It was me and somebody else.” According to Bonham Carter, Princess Margaret gave her blessing from beyond the grave. “So I asked her: ‘Are you OK with me playing you?’ and she said: ‘You’re better than the other actresses… that they were thinking of.
