Netflix has debuted the ‘Margaret and Tony’ featurette – a look at the relationship between Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon, Antony Armstrong, in Season 2 of The Crown. Take a look at the footage in the video player above.
The Crown, a Netflix original series, tells the inside story of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, as the fragile social order established after the Second World War breaks apart. Based on the award-winning play, The Audience, the series reunites creator/writer Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon) with director Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours) and producer Andy Harries (The Queen).
