Princess Margaret, meet Princess Margaret.

Two actors playing younger and older versions of everyone's favourite character in The Crown came together in a glorious Instagram post.

Vanessa Kirby, who plays Princess Margaret in Season 1 and 2 of The Crown, posted a photo of herself with Helena Bonham-Carter, who'll reportedly be playing the princess in the next season.

"Honoured," wrote Kirby, and tagged The Crown's Instagram account.

Could this be the confirmation of the rumours we've been desperately seeking?

Let's hope so!
