Last week brought us the first trailer for season 2 of Netflix’s The Crown. The streaming service’s Royal family drama was a hit when it debuted in 2016 and the initial teaser promised more of the same to come, as Queen Elizabeth (Claire Foy) and Prince Phillip’s (Matt Smith) marriage is tested even further by the all-important duties of ruling the country.
In this newly released promo that you’ll see above, the focus is shifted away from the central couple and onto Elizabeth’s wayward sister, Princess Margaret (Vanessa Kirby). At the end of season 1, the Queen decided to forbid Margaret from marrying her fiancee Peter Townsend, due to the national scandal it was feared it would cause. Naturally, the trailer proves that the sisters’ relationship has become strained ever since, with Margaret indulging in heavy drinking and partying.

The late, wonderful Roger Moore will always be remembered for Bond, but The Man Who Haunted Himself might just be his best performance...
When Sir Roger Moore sadly passed away earlier this year, accounts of his life and career understandably focused on his seven spectacular outings as James Bond 007. Personally, I rewatched The Spy Who Loved Me for the 75th time, basking once again in his effortless charm and flawlessly tailored leisure suits.

Of his career outside the Bond franchise, many obituaries focused on his early television work in The Saint and The Persuaders!, in which he played similarly suave, elegantly dressed adventurers. But despite his own self-deprecation, Roger Moore’s acting abilities were more varied than one is often led to believe. His career extended far beyond the eyebrow-raising antics of the Bond films,...

Netflix’s sleek period drama The Crown has captivated audiences with its peek into the private life of Queen Elizabeth II (Claire Foy), but many fans may be wondering how much of the glamorous series is based on real life. While some elements — like the Duke and Duchess of Windsor’s frosty relationship with the royal family and Princess Margaret’s romance with the dashing Pete Townsend — are true, several key elements of the series are either totally made up or exaggerated for dramatic effect. (And let’s be honest, even the life of a royal sometimes needs TV magic to make it more watchable.

'I Suppose I am his mistress. It's wonderful, isn't it?"
So said Britain's Marjorie Wal-lace, speaking about her relationship with The Earl of Snowdon. (I know - you thought it was Madonna, fessing up on A-Rod.)
The Earl was not amused by his former lover's candor. Snowdon, ex-husband of the late Princess Margaret (Queen Elizabeth's sister), is the subject of a juicy new biography by Anne de Courcy. He cooperated with the author and spoke freely. Too late he realized he had been too freely. We told you a couple of...
