'I wasn't that drunk,' she said, before admitting that she was 'Enough drunk for me not to drink any more. He... he wasn't totally sober himself. Not in a bad way, it was just very jolly.
"The thing is, I'd spent all my friends as godparents on my first child, so Billy had 11 godparents. And so I thought I could make up for Nell – who suddenly came along and we didn't have any left – I thought, "Well if I give her Prince William that will cover... you know.."
'He just said, "You don't want me to be godfather to your child." And I left,' Carter added. 'I mean obviously it didn't work out, funnily enough.'
Recently, Helena Bonham Carter said that part of her research for the role of Prince Margaret involved contacting the real-life royal's ghost.
You'd expect nothing less from someone who was married to Tim Burton.
The Crown is available now on Netflix.
