TOBIAS MENZIES is to play the Duke of Edinburgh in the new series of The Crown.
The 44-year-old actor replaces Matt Smith as Philip in the epic Netflix drama, which features Olivia Colman as the Queen.
An image of Menzies, in character, appearing to look out of a window at Buckingham Palace, was posted on Twitter with the caption “Ambition”.
Colman replaces Claire Foy in the title role and a previously-released image showed the now middle-aged Queen drinking tea. The Crown is set to return in 2019.
