While the 52-year-old has played a member of the royal family before in The King's Speech, this time she decided to seek the advice of someone with first-hand experience - Princess Margaret herself - through the services of a psychic medium.

"She always likes to research her roles with as much depth as possible - and is always prepared to go that extra mile," said a TV insider. "So if that means using someone with supernatural powers to speak to a character who is now on the other side then Helena has no problems with doing that."According to reports, Carter was told by Princess Margaret that she was "doing a great job."

This isn't the first time that the veteran actress has had a run-in with the paranormal either, having previously consulted with a psychic about her role as Liz Taylor for BBC drama Burton and Taylor.

"I was in a real dilemma about the role," she said at the time. "I asked a psychic - I'm completely wacko - who was actually de-ghosting our house."
