The Crown has found its Camilla.
Emerald Fennell has been cast as The Crown’s Season 3 Camilla Parker Bowles.
Fennell will play young Camilla on Netflix’s hit royal drama, opposite Josh O’Connor who has been cast as a young Prince Charles. Season 3 will time jump and will feature the early romance between Charles and Camilla.
Fennell joins the previously announced Season 3 cast members Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth, Tobias Menzies as Prince Philip, Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret, Jason Watkins as Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Marion Bailey as the Queen Mother.
“I’m absolutely over the moon, and completely terrified, to be joining so many hugely talented people on The Crown,” Fennell said. “I absolutely love Camilla, and am very grateful that my teenage years have well prepared me for playing a chain-smoking serial snogger with a pudding bowl haircut.”
Fennel is known for her role on the series Call the Midwife. He other credits include Pan, The Danish Girl, and Anna Karenina. She also serves as head writer on Season 2 of Killing Eve.
Season Three of The Crown is currently filming and is expected to debut in 2019.
