Georgie was so excited about it that she shared a lot on Twitter!
“We had the best time with host @dan_lanigan, his collection is unparalleled, and I was so humbled by his passion and dedication to preserving iconic cinema artifacts. Thank you Dan!!” she wrote.
“The unsung heroes of film sets are the people behind the scenes, less visible than the actors’ faces onscreen but arguably so much important! The level of detail and care in the props, costumes, and effects used to build the world of Narnia is nothing short of jaw-dropping,” she added in another tweet.

If you’re new around here, the number on thing you must know is that we love love love The Chronicles of Narnia franchise…and Ben Barnes obviously knows that.
Earlier this week, the Prince Caspain star gathered all the cast that he could for a mini reunion dinner and shared the pic with his fans on social media.
Ben, along with Georgie Henley (Lucy), Anna Popplewell (Susan), and William Moseley (Peter) met up with producer Andrew Adamson and Alina Phelan Ballou, who played a centaur in the first film and a midwife in the second.
“#Narnia reunion dinner over a decade on! 🦠🧙ðŸ½â€â™€ï¸ðŸšªðŸ‘‘ 🗡,” Ben captioned on his feed, asking later, “#whereareyouskandar?”
Georgie Henley and Charlotte Hope look regal in this cast pic from the screening event of their new series, The Spanish Princess, held at Charlotte Street Hotel on Wednesday night (April 10) in London.
The two British actresses star along with Laura Carmichael, Nadia Parkes, and Stephanie Levi-John in the upcoming Starz series, based on the story of Catherine of Aragon.
Georgie will play Meg Tudor, with Charlotte in the lead role of Catherine.
“She is Princess of Wales now, but when her husband Prince Arthur dies suddenly, the throne seems lost to Catherine,” the series description reads. “Until she claims her marriage was never consummated and that as a virgin she may set her sights on the new heir, the charismatic and headstrong Prince Harry who will one day rule as King Henry VIII.”
The Spanish Princess premieres on May 5th on Starz.
The three British actors will join Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Sheila Atim, Alex Sharp, and Ivanno Jeremiah in the upcoming pilot, according to THR.
While most of the details about the characters are being kept under wraps, HBO did release a logline that has us intrigued.
The drama is set thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones and chronicles the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour.
The logline reads: “Only one thing is for sure: From the horrifying secrets of Westeros’ history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend — it’s not the story we think we know.”

Who else remembers that reunion talk happening last year with the Chronicles of Narnia cast that we’ve been waiting, and waiting, and waiting for? Well, it finally happened!!!
“Almost 15 years ago I met these three and my life changed forever. I’m so proud of the films we made. A dream come true,” William, who played the eldest Pevensie, Peter, shared on Instagram.
He added, ” #annapopplewell #skandarkeynes @awkwardcrone love you all. Happy birthday to Anna. ðŸ¦#c.s.lewis #narnia.”
Georgie also shared her own Instagram, with a throwback pic included so fans could see just how much the four had grown up.
Georgie Henley is probably best known as Lucy Pevensie from The Chronicles of Narnia movies, and in a recent series of tweets is getting honest about the transition from child star to adult actor and the pressure young stars are put under.
Taking part in a theatre Q&A, the 23-year-old actress explained just how much pressure young stars are under to succeed beyond child stardom and how the media expects them to fail.
“I was asked what is the biggest difference between being a ‘child actor’ + acting as an adult – I said that when you’ve acted as a child and you continue to act as an adult, for some reason people want you to fail,” she explains.
Georgie continues, “Children who act are often hailed as wunderkinds, and put on a pedestal due to technical or emotional capabilities supposedly beyond their years. But as a society there is nothing more we love than to tear down those who are flourishing.
The story of the ‘Disney kid gone off the rails’ is a self-perpetuating cycle. The more we expect these kids to fail and fuck up, the more pressure they’re facing and the more likely they are to crumble.”
“INSTEAD let’s remember these are still children, going through whatever they need to go through to become whatever they’re going to be. Let them go through it without the microscope we force upon them.”

I just feel very lucky that social media wasn’t around when I was doing press junkets at 10 years old. And I’m SO lucky that I have wonderful parents who put my happiness and wellbeing above any kind of professional ambition.
“What an extraordinary adventure it was; I am eternally grateful to everyone involved in changing my life with this film! #Narnia,” Ben, who played the title character, wrote.
William added, “The Chronicles of Narnia has been the most beautiful experience in my life. Truly a dream come true. I am so proud of the work we did in these films. The friendships we built and have carried forward.”

Also thank you forever to all of you guys who love watching the Narnia films. I feel so unbelievably lucky to have been part of something which brings people so much joy. Someday I’ll try to put into words how much fun we had making them. It really was so wonderful.
