The upcoming second season of award-winning Netflix series "The Crown" will feature more conflict between Queen Elizabeth II (Claire Foy) and her husband Prince Philip (Matt Smith). While the royal pair is at odds with each other, another royal will be welcoming a new love in their life.

Queen Elizabeth's rebellious sister Princess Margaret (Vanessa Kirby) will have a new man in season 2. In a recent featurette from Netflix, the actress said that her character will be having a fling with Antony Armstrong-Jones aka Lord Snowdon, played by Matthew Goode.

Regarding the new couple, Kirby revealed that the second season will have the princess going on a little journey of self-discovery. The actress went on to say that Margaret will find herself through this new man who she runs into and they will have an amazing dynamic.

Goode even suggested that his character Tony is thrilling to be around, most especially when he takes the princess out for a ride on his motorbike.

Kirby described him as a "creative, mercurial, enigmatic, charming, sexy stranger" whom Margaret thinks is a refreshing change. Kirby was definitely on point with describing him as sexy.

The recent trailer also shows some sexy scenes between the two characters — the princess in particular undressing for her new love. Another bit shows her posing for Tony's camera clad only in black lingerie while another scene shows her straddling Tony before getting naked.

Princess Margaret would eventually marry Armstrong-Jones in 1960. As he was a commoner, he bore the title of the Earl of Snowdon and Viscount Linley. The couple had two children, Lady Sarah Chatto and David Armstrong-Jones.

Unfortunately, their marriage did not last and Margaret supposedly had several affairs.
The couple eventually divorced in July 1978 and Armstrong-Jones went on to marry Lucy Lindsay-Hogg several months later in December.

"The Crown" season 2 premieres on Friday, Dec. 8, on Netflix.
