The Crown’s newest stars have been causing quite some buzz in the lead up to the season six. The latest additions to the cast are not only following in big footsteps — the likes of Emma Corrin and Josh O’Connor had their careers launched by The Crown — but they’re playing the youngest “historical figures” yet.
Meg Bellamy, Ed McVey and Luther Ford have been tasked with playing Kate, Will and Harry respectively — quite the mantle, given that the life events they’re portraying happened less than 20 years ago. There was enough hubbub over dredging up the drama of Princess Diana and King Charles’s marriage, which was over 42 years ago, but these characters will be acting out events as recent as 2005, if we’re to believe what’s been teased by Netflix.
