Imelda Staunton was fielded to play Queen Elizabeth, Jonathan Pryce to portray Prince Philip, Dominic West to star as Prince Charles and Elizabeth Debicki stars at Princess Diana. At the same time, Olivia Williams was ready to to cast as Camilla Parker Bowles and Jonny Lee Miller to appear as Prime Minister John Major. Notably, the season 6 will seemingly focus on the 1990s, leading up to Diana’s death in 1997. Season 6 recently cast 16-year-old Rufus Kampa as Prince Harry and 21-year-old Ed McVey as Prince William, hinting that the season will explore the aftermath of Diana’s death and the boys’ lives in the early 2000s. Although Queen Elizabeth II never spoke publicly about “The Crown,” Claire Foy, who played her in 2016’s first season of the show, stated one year later that she “would hate the idea of her watching it.” “When you’re playing a real person, you never want to be ghoulish,” she told Town & Country at the time. “I don’t want to pick apart a person. I want to invent someone. So, I would hate for her to watch it and think I overdramatized anything.”
