Vanessa is due to leave her acclaimed role in The Crown for the show's upcoming third series, with Oscar-nominee Helena Bonham Carter set to step into her regal role.
A number of the stars, including protagonists Claire Foy and Matt Smith, are being replaced by older actresses and actors for authenticity as the third season moves into the later years surrounding the royals' lives.
Vanessa admitted she was 'gutted' and she joked she was so 'desperate' to continue the role that she was willing to 'smoke a million cigarettes' to 'age' herself.

'I was desperate to carry on,' she told The Telegraph in November 2017. 'I was like, 'Right, Peter Morgan, The Crown creator, what do you want me to do? I'll smoke a million cigarettes in real life, I'll do anything to age myself…
'I'm gutted. There hasn't been a part that's made me happier on-screen, and I really hope it has changed people's minds about her.'
The Netflix series – rumoured to have cost an estimated £100million for the first season alone – will be recast every two series as the central characters age.
Icon: Vanessa won fans the world over with her portrayal of Princess Margaret in The Crown
According to The Evening Standard, recasting Vanessa, who played the part in the first two seasons, came in order to continue the story and timeline.
The award-winning star was being eyed up to play Elizabeth in the show following the departure of Claire Foy but bosses decided she'd be better suited to Margaret while Olivia Colman will play the matriarch.
Following the red carpet, Vanessa took to the stage during the ceremony to accept Best TV Series for The Crown, which she admitted to nearly missing as she took a visit to the bathroom.
She said: 'I nearly missed this because I was in the loo,' before going onto say about the acclaimed drama: 'I genuinely thought my gran would watch it and that would be it.'
