Are there any big casting changes for The Crown season six?
Aside from the actors cast to play Prince William and Kate Middleton, no central roles in the final season will be recast, so most of the cast of season five are expected to return.
That includes Elizabeth Debicki as Diana, Princess of Wales; Dominic West as Charles, Prince of Wales; and Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II. Actors Jonathan Pryce, Lesley Manville, Jonny Lee Miller, Marcia Warren, Olivia Williams, Claudia Harrison, James Murray, Khalid Abdalla, Bertie Carvel and Timothy Dalton are all set to return.
Kelly Brook is set to make a cameo of sorts, though, as she explained on Heart FM (via Daily Star) that she had to give a picture clearance request for one of her pictures from her early modelling days to be used in one of the character’s dressing rooms: “That’s definitely got to be a teenage boy’s bedroom. Could I be on the wall of Prince Harry or Prince William’s bedroom at Buckingham Palace? Was I a pin-up for them back in the ’90s? How old were they then? Well, this is incredible. Of course, I have said yes.”
