Helena Bonham Carter, The Queen, Daniel Craig And Rachel Weisz All Spent A Night Together At Windsor Castle

We can’t wait for the next season of The Crown to finally land on Netflix. And of course, one of the things we’re most excited to see is Helena Bonham Carter’. The actress has already revealed that she has links to the late princess (her uncle Mark dated the Princess during his time as a guard) and how she used a medium on set to get acting tips (apparently, she was told she had to get the smoking right). But now, she has revealed that she had a sleepover at Windsor Castle with Daniel Craig and his wife Rachel Weisz.

Speaking in a new interview with the Radio Times, the actress spilled the details on the evening, which she says happened 'about 10 years ago’. Speaking to the title, she said, ‘It’s fun! Rachel Weisz was there with James Bond{ =nofollow}. I stayed in Prince Charles’s rooms. We had supper and the Queen and Prince Philip gave us a tour.’

She added, 'They’d found something from their archive that each of us would appreciate. So Tim [Burton, the film director, Helena’s ex-partner] had the first edition of Alice in Wonderland, I had a letter from Lionel Logue, who was the King’s speech therapist [Helena starred in The King’s Speech as the Queen Mother]. It was really touching.’

Bonham Carter - who takes over the role from Vanessa Kirby - recently spoke about when she met the princess{ =nofollow}, describing how ‘typical’ Margaret gave her a backhanded compliment. ‘Margaret was on her own with a drink in her hand and she talked to me,’ she added. ‘She said, “Oh, Helena, you are getting better, aren’t you, at acting.” Typical Margaret!'

It was previously reported in The Sun that Bonham Carter had ‘held seances’ to communicate with Margaret's spirit on set. According to the paper, Bonham Carter received tips from the Princess’s spirit on how she held her cigarette and cigarette holder after sessions with a supernatural expert. It's also been reported that she consulted another psychic before taking on the role of the late Elizabeth Taylor in a 2013 TV drama.
