The third series covers the years 1964-1977 and the screenplay has been penned by Peter Morgan. This season, the show stars Oscar winner Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II (she doesn’t need a title in our eyes, she already is a queen!), Tobias Menzies as Prince Phillip, Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret, Ben Daniels as Tony Armstrong-Jones, Josh O’Connor as Prince Charles, Erin Doherty as Princess Anne, Marion Bailey as The Queen Mother and Jason Watkins as Prime Minister Harold Wilson.
