Who will play the royals for seasons 5 & 6 of "The Crown"?

They should just use the cast from Channel 4’s The Windsor’s.

Not sure of these actors’ names.

Emily Watson as the Queen.

Charlize as Diana

Ed Sheeran as Harry

We need to cast minor parts like sexy nanny Tiggy Legg-Bourke, Dodi Fayed, Dr Hasnat Khan and Paul Burrell.

As for Charles and Camilla and Anne, here are a list of British actors currently in their 40s.

Jack Davenport with prosthetic ears for Charles

I'm sure if offered, Irons wouldn't turn down a go at playing QEII. The ratings would go thru the roof.

Who would play william kate harry and meghan?

I loved lindsay duncan in rome.

There will be no Meghan. honey.

Lindsay Duncan is so willowy, and HM is....the opposite.

Emma Thompson could be the queen, although she is only 609, and so Morgan might feel she would have a tough time playing the Queen at 80 believably.

Marion Bailey as the Queen Mother wore a fat suit this season, so a skinny actress playing Elizabeth II like Thompson or Duncan could too.

*Sorry, I meant "60," not "609."

Olivia Colman struggled with the voice. Not the accent but the voice.

Who will be the Americans? I want to see Ron and Nancy.

Helen Mirren looks kind of too ...Asian in OP’s pic to portray HRH.

Maggie Smith is much too old, as is Judi Dench and Glenda Jackson.

Who will play the Pizza Express in Woking?

Would it be heresy for them to hire an American or Australian actress as the queen? Meryl and Jessica are both the right age. And Judy Davis would knock it out of the park.

Joanna Lumley as the Queen.

I could reprise my Oscar-winning role as Thatcher, but Jessica? A histrionic Queen Mom on her deathbed? G could be a frumpy lady-in-waiting though.

I'm sick to fuckin death of playing her!

How bout me for Queen Mother, I'm an old queen

I hate Olivia Colman. Especially as The Queen. She has this pitiful painfully mournful look about her, she always looks sad and clinically depressed, very victim-mentality-like, The Queen doesn't look like that.

Lizzo for Meghan

The gay kid from Curb Your Enthusiasm for George

Kevin Spacey for Andrew

Carrot Top for Harry

Two ficus trees for William and Kate

Andy Dick for Charles

The Queen as herself

Patricia Routledge as The Queen Mother. Patricia Hodge as The Queen. Billy Nihy or Charles Dance as Prince Phillip. Joan Plowright would have made a good queen but is too old and blind. Helen Mirren could give a go at playing Camilla but Tracy Ullman was brilliant

Me, Possums. I know her so well!

Rupert Grint as Harry, a boiled egg as William. Charlotte Church as Kate.

[quote]Charles Dance as Prince Phillip

Dance already has a role on the show.

Catherine Tate's Nan as The Queen!

Yeah, I'll give it a go

Strangely enough I can see Jennifer Saunders playing The Queen

Judy Davis would be excellent as the elderly, embittered Princess Margaret. They should keep her in mind for Seasons 5 and 6.

We must have Tracy Ullman as the older Camilla.

Neil Patrick Harris might work as Camilla.

Real life married couple Joanna David and Edward Fox as Elizabeth and Philip? Rosamund Pike as Diana?

But who could possibly play DL favorite GRACE VAN CUTSEM?

Hyacinth Bucket would be great for The Queen.

Keira Knightley as Kate

Perhaps Judy Davis and Miranda Richardson as the sisters?

Have they cast Diana yet? I think Daisy Bevan ( Joely Richardson's daughter, Vanessa Redgrave's granddaughter) would be a good choice for young Lady Di:

They've already cast Emma Corrin as Diana, since seasons 3 and 4 were filmed back-to-back. She'll be staying on in Season 5 to take Diana right through to the end, which makes sense as Diana died so young.

I was thinking that it would be weird for her to appear with multiple actors playing Charles, but in season five she wouldn't really be with Charles.

It probably helps that Charles was more than a decade older than Diana. Emma Corrin is 23, so she can reasonably play Diana as a teenager and in her 20s. Thirties might be more of a stretch, but that's what makeup is for.

I bet your pardon, R40?

Betty White as Queen.

The Queen - Kristin Scott Thomas

Prince Philip - Timothy Dalton

Princess Margaret - Judy Davis

Lord Snowdon - Hugh Grant

Prince Charles - Toby Stephens

Princess Anne - Jodhi May

Prince Andrew - Rafe Spall

Prince Edward - Ben Whishaw

Camilla Parker Bowles - Sally Phillips

Fergie - Holliday Grainger

Charles Spencer - Sam Clafin

Ronald Reagan - Kelsey Grammar

Nancy Reagan - Jenna Fischer

Bill Clinton - Luke Wilson

Hillary Clinton - Jessica Chastain

Pam from The Office as the blowjob queen?!

I would love to see Elie White, who is the cast standout as Princess Beatrice on "The Windsors," play Beatrice's mother Sarah Ferguson on "The Crown." She is very funny and is excellent at being boisterous, but I think she could also play pathos. Plus she looks like Fergie (or would if her hair were in that weird 80s do).

Oops! Sorry. Let's try again.

Judy Davis as Princess Margaret is a sensational idea, I'd love to see that.

A friend and I were talking about this and I came up with two ideas for Elizabeth in Seasons 5 and 6. One is obvious and the other not so much, but it'd be brilliant.

First would be Imelda Staunton. She's extremely famous right now, getting her pick of many big roles. She's a tad too working class, but I could see it. Small and round, so forth. About the right age.

Who is less obvious but who would be absolutely brilliant and would have a great comeback story would be ... Julie Christie. About the right age and of course too beautiful to play it, but I do think she'd be perfect. What a story that would be.

Imelda Staunton lacks regality, as has Olivia Colman this season. They're both sort of coarse. Staunton is also very hammy, which can actually be a good thing, but not here.

The queen became rounder, but she was never quite squat and dumpy. She was always athletic. She also looked much better in the 1960s than does Colman.

Julie Christie is a very interesting idea.

r50 Nance and Jenna both have those crazy piercing quality to their faces.

I think Amy Ryan would be a good Nancy Regan.

Well, it's gonna be Imelda:

Nancy Reagan was 61 (pretending to be 59) when she first came to the White House.

Nailed it!

They should have kept Matt Smith, Claire Foy, and Vanessa Kirby for another season. If this season goes 1964-1976, Phillip, Elizabeth, and Margaret would be 42-54, 38-50, and 34-46, respectively. Smith, Foy, and Kirby are currently 37, 35, and 31. With some subtle aging makeup and costuming, they could easily have played their characters' range of ages for Season 3.

I've only seen the first episode, but so far the recasting is NOT working for me. I'll give it another few episodes and see, but I still think they made a huge mistake getting rid of the original cast so soon.

I try to forget the sisters are still in their late 30s at the beginning of this season cause HBC and Olivia dont look near that young. But their ages are good for the second half and next season.

Charlotte Rampling.

I want Francesca Annis for Margaret for Season 5.

Nathan Lane

R58, Nancy Reagan was 47 (claiming to be be 45) when Frank Sinatra came in her for the first time.

Interesting ideas being bruited about, according to CNN:

*They suggest Emma Thompson as well as Staunton for the Queen--I was not aware of how much Thompson looks like the queen (although she's much taller)--and also Meryl Streep

*Jim Broadbent and Gary Oldman are the favorites right now at Ladbroke's to play Philip, with Jeremy irons and Charles Dance also on the short list--with Patriuck Stewart as an outside choice.

*Ladbrokes is betting on Ralph Fiennes as Charles, with Colin Firth second, and then Dominic West. (CNN suggests Hugh Laurie.)

They have many more suggestions at the link, including Michael Caine (who would be far too old) as John Major.

Charles Dance can't play Phillip, he's already played Mountbatten. Which is something of a shame, as I agree he'd have made a perfect older Phillip, and would have had more to do than he will as Mountbatten.

Scott Thompson from The Kids in the Hall.

Scott Thompson from The Kids in the Hall.

Who is that, R71?

I don't think it will matter that Charles Dance played Mountbatten. By 2022, when Season 5 probably airs, nobody will remember that. And he's obviously the perfect Philip. Plus he'll be playing against all new cast members.

[quote] By 2022, when Season 5 probably airs, nobody will remember that.

Wrong.

Oprah should play the queen.

Emily Watson is great and underused.

It's a streaming series meant to be binged, R73. Having the same actor play Mountbatten and Phillip would never, ever work.

Emily Watson should have played the middle-aged Queen, and Imelda Staunton the older Queen. The physical resemblance is very close.

Julie Walters is expected to play the queen in seasons 5 & 6.

I’m NOT “wrong, “R74. Didn’t your mama teach you to never say someone’s “wrong” for expressing an opinion? You just disagree.

R77, your opinion about Netflix being a streaming service meant to be binged is stupid.

Charles Dance could definitely play Philip in Seasons 5 and 6.

Julie Walters is too common to play Elizabeth II.

Give Tracey Ullman a ring.

And, that's a block for R80. Rude cunt.

Well hello!
