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.
