40
41	%%Please do not add any personal tropes. This page is for her works only.
42	* FunnyCharacterBoringActor: Zig zagged. While boring is a strong word, she is known to come across as charming and funny in interviews, she had stated that a lot of fans assume she’s exactly like hard partying wild child Princess Margaret on The Crown. She is a self described “theatre geek”.
43	* MsFanservice: Her one scene in ''Film/JupiterAscending'' has her in lingerie. There's also her flipping her dress to draw out a knife in ''Film/MissionImpossibleFallout''.
44	* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: In ''Series/{{The Crown\|2016}}'', she plays Princess Margaret, opposite Creator/ClaireFoy as Queen Elizabeth II, Margaret's sister. She and Foy actually look like they could be related.
45	* StarMakingRole: Playing Princess Margaret gave her a career boost.
