Florence Foster Jenkins star Josh O'Connor is taking over the role of Prince Charles from young actor Julian Baring. In season two we see Charles struggling with his new boarding school surroundings and clashing with his father, and season three further explores his expanding role in the royal family (including his courtship with Camilla Parker Bowles).
"I am thrilled to be joining The Firm for the next installment of The Crown," O'Connor said in a statement about his inclusion in the new cast. "Seasons three and four will follow some of the most turbulent events in the Prince of Wales' life and our national story and I'm excited to be bringing to life the man in the midst of it all. I'm very aware it's a formidably talented family to be joining, but reliably informed I have the ears for the part and will fit right in."
