The Crown Season 3 Cast
The Crown Has Officially Cast Prince Philip, and It's Not Who You Think It Is
3
If you had hopes of seeing Paul Bettany in the role, we're sorry to say that Netflix has opted for Menzies instead. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Bettany was close to securing the role, but ultimately had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict. But that's OK, because Menzies is a great addition to the series. Plus, you have to admit that he has a pretty striking resemblance to Prince Philip, and his roles on Outlander and Game of Thrones may have prepared him for something British, royal, and of a certain era.
