BEING beautiful and eccentric with a penchant for toyboys are not the only things Helena ­Bonham Carter and Princess Margaret have in common.

Actress Helena, 53, plays the late Princess in the new series of TV’s The Crown – and it appears they share style inspiration in real life too.

With a love of bold prints, figure-hugging frocks and dramatic headpieces, it looks as if Helena was born for the role before she even knew it.

Here, we show how she has ­followed in the style icon’s royal footsteps for years.
