Sorry for being away from the site for so long! The always awesome Merlin’s Keep posted some new pictures of Katie over the past month and I’ve added them to the gallery! Please let me know if I’m missing anything. There is a lovely new picture from The Queen and a few more Merlin season 1 promotional pictures.
Quick Update

It’s been a long time since I added video clips. Five clips from The Queen have been added right here (scroll down to the Movies section!). The files are .avi format and zipped. Please let me know if the clips don’t work as I have been having trouble making clips! I have more clips from TV/movie roles coming eventually. Stay tuned for Merlin updates very soon!

The Queen Screen Captures
Screen captures from The Queen (Episode 1) are now in the gallery! I thought Katie did such an amazing job playing Princess Margaret. It was nice to see her in a different role (especially since we have been missing Morgana these days!). Clips are coming later this week. Enjoy the captures!

British Academy Children’s Awards
Katie attended the British Academy Children’s Awards tonight. Thank you, Annika, for linking the pictures! The first pictures are now in the gallery and I will post more as they appear. Katie looks so pretty! I think this dress is my favorite out of all the ones she’s worn. Also, be sure to catch The Queen tonight if it hasn’t started already!
Edit - More MQ pictures added! I will try to find HQ pictures tomorrow.

Princess Margaret Article
I found an interesting article about Princess Margaret. It mentions The Queen and Katie playing the young Margaret. It also says that episode 1, “Sisters,” which is the epsode with Katie, will air November 29. Emilia Fox plays Queen Elizabeth II in this episode. She will guest star next week on Merlin as Morgause!
The first episode, Sisters, starring Emila Fox as the Queen and Katie McGrath as Princess Margaret, will be broadcast on November 29 and portrays the events leading up to the Princess’ announcement that she would not marry Townsend.

SciFiChick.com Interview
Katie did an interview with SciFiChick.com. In the interview she talks about her character Morgana, filming, and hints about the upcoming season. She also talks about The Queen. You can read the full interview right here. She sounds like a very intelligent, humble person.
There would be days, especially at the start, when I would read the script and I would look at the scene and I’d go “I have no idea how to do this.” I had no idea how to make what they want in the scene happen. And I was lucky to have the most amazing co-stars and director to help me through it. And the start of season 2 is such a different feeling than starting season 1. I was so scared at the start. I didn’t know how I was going to bring it off. If you think about it, the character has already been played by Helen Mirren and Helena Bonham Carter. And then, I come along and think, “How am I going to do this mythical person justice?” So, I’m hopefully getting better. And I’m hopefully getting there. But time will tell, if I can pull it off.
Here is the excerpt about The Queen:
We just finished, at the same time, something for channel 4 about the Queen. It’s a 5-part drama on seminal points in the Queen’s reign. And I play Princess Margaret in the first episode, and the Princess Margaret – Peter Townsend affair that shocked the nation and unsettled the first few years of the Queen’s reign. So, it’s another princess, but she’s completely different. It was nice to play something different that was so far from what it is that I do on Merlin, so that I can really appreciate when I come back.

Katie’s Tattoo
I am late posting this, but the article is still interesting nonetheless. According to the Daily Mail, Katie has a tattoo on her back. The article also mentions her role as Margaret in the upcoming The Queen.
When Irish ingenue Katie McGrath plays a young Princess Margaret in Channel 4′s controversial five-part docu-drama The Queen this autumn, viewers will not be aware that she has a very unregal tattoo.
For the 26-year-old actress has the word ‘purity’ inked across the bottom of her back. Katie, who has a degree in history from Trinity College, Dublin, will appear in the first part of the series, which begins in 1955 when Margaret had to decide whether or not to marry her divorced lover Captain Peter Townsend.
The production has been beset by rumours that the Palace might yet seek an injunction amid fears that former royal aides have been secretly aiding and abetting the film-makers.
