Helena Bonham Carter Opens Up About Moving On After Split from Tim Burton

Helena Bonham Carter looks so regal on the cover of the new Harper’s Bazaar UK issue for December 2019, on newsstands October 30.

Here is what the actress, who is joining season three of The Crown as Princess Margaret, had to share with the mag:

On moving on from her relationship with Tim Burton with new boyfriend Rye Dag Holmboe: “You break up, you grieve, you get bored of grieving, and then you finally move on. I’m very happy with someone else. It’s been a bit of unexpected magic in my life.”

On ageing as an actress: “When I turned 50, I worried it was downhill all the way. But it’s quite the opposite. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier or more fulfilled. This huge blooming of television means character-driven stories, so there’s a lot of choice and a lot of work. When I was young, you were considered ‘older’ over 30.”

On taking on the role of Princess Margaret: “I wanted to do her justice. If someone does, as people said, behave rudely, there’s always a reason. It usually means that they’re unhappy.”
