As The Crown continues to sweep the controversy of its pay discrepancies under the royal carpet, Netflix has announced just who will be sitting on the throne for the upcoming season.

Claire Foy and Matt Smith have been at the helm for the show’s first 2 seasons as Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip, respectively.

But with the series-deciding to fast forward a few years in the life of her royal highness, new castings have been finalized for the roles.

Broadchurch actress, Olivia Coleman, had already been confirmed as taking over the role from Miss Foy, with Matt’s replacement now having been announced as Outlander actor, Tobias Menzies.

The pair will fill the roles for seasons 3 and 4 and will be joined by Les Misérables actress, Helena Bonham Carter, as Princess Margaret.

We hope that Netflix sticks to its decree that no one will be paid higher than the Queen.

The post “The Crown” has its New Prince appeared first on EverydayKoala.

It was revealed by producer Suzanne Mackie that Claire Foy, who plays Queen Elizabeth II, was being paid less per episode than Matt Smith who stars as her consort, Prince Phillip.

It was claimed that Matt’s previous role in Doctor Who had offered him a higher profile, despite Claire undeniably starring as the lead character.

The furor prompted the Netflix show’s producers, Left Bank Pictures, to apologize to both actors, and state that they, as producers, “are responsible for budgets and salaries; the actors are not aware of who gets what, and cannot be held personally responsible for the pay of their colleagues.”

The queen herself has now weighed in, with Claire admitting that she is not surprised that her subjects (aka viewers) were upset.

“I’m not surprised that people saw [the story] and went, ‘Oh, that’s a bit odd.’ But I know that Matt feels the same that I do, that it’s odd to find yourself at the center [of a story] that you didn’t particularly ask for.”

We expect that the pair can now find some relief as neither will be returning to the series which fast-forwards in the royals’ lives from season 3.

Producers of The Crown have now issued an apology to stars, Claire Foy and Matt Smith, in light of the revelation that the Queen was being paid far less than the Prince.

It was claimed that the pay discrepancy had arisen as a result of Matt’s role as the 11th Doctor on Doctor Who, believing that he possessed more notoriety.

In a statement which referred to Claire and Matt as “brilliant actors and friends,” Left Bank Pictures states that they, as producers, “are responsible for budgets and salaries; the actors are not aware of who gets what, and cannot be held personally responsible for the pay of their colleagues.”

The statement continued: “We understand and appreciate the conversation which is rightly being played out across society and we are absolutely united with the fight for fair pay, free of gender bias, and for a re-balancing of the industry’s treatment of women, both those in front of the camera and for those behind the scenes.”

Someone else united in the fight for fair pay are 24,000 people who have signed a Care2 petition calling for Matt and Netflix to donate the difference in paychecks to the Time’s Up Legal Defence Fund.

Well, they say a Prince leads by example.
