"The Crown" Season 2 has found the actor who will play as the man who will marry Princess Margaret. "Downton Abby" star Matthew Goode is Antony Armstrong-Jones, AKA, Lord Snowdon.
Lord Snowdon is the society photographer who married Queen Elizabeth's sister, Harper's Bazaar said. During Season 1, Margaret was forced to stop her engagement to divorced suitor Peter Townsend after the Queen, who bowed to pressure from the government and Church of England, refused to sign off on the marriage.
Lord Snowdon was married to Princess Margaret from 1960 until 1978. Their marriage began to collapse early and publicly, and there various causes behind the failure, including Snowdon's undisguised sexual promiscuity, and Margaret's penchant for late-night partying. Lord Snowdon died peacefully on his Kensington home on January 13, 2017.
Since Lord Snowdon and Princess Margaret were married for over a decade, viewers can expect Goode to be on the "The Crown" until at least the show's recast. Radio Times reported that Season 2 has already started filming to make in time for the airing towards the end of this year. Season 2 will begin with the 1956 Suez crisis and finishes around the mid-1960s.
The series is also looking for a man to play the baronet and gardening expert Roddy Llewellyn for Series 3. Llewellyn is 17 years Margaret's junior and had a five-year affair with the Princess starting in 1973. Their romance is said to have slightly embarrassed the Windsors, but this part will have to be played out with a new Queen for Season 3.
Reports say that the "The Crown" producers are looking for an actress to play the new-look Queen who will be in her 40s and 50s. Season 3 will pretty much require a wholescale cast change, and for Season 6, the last season, there will be another Queen, since this will take quite close to the present day look of the monarch.
