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. |
