Netflix’s hit royal drama The Crown on Thursday, March 17, put out a casting call for two young actors to play teenaged princes Harry and William in its sixth season.
The Crown’s casting associate Kate Bone took to Twitter to share the casting call on behalf of the production. Actors “with strong physical resemblance” to the royal brothers are encouraged to apply.
According to Bone’s post, the production will consider actors aged between 16-21 for William, and 16-20 for Harry, who is two years younger than his older brother.
No prior acting experience is required, with applicants asked to share a video of themselves talking about something they love doing.
While the casting call is for season six, season five of The Crown is yet to drop on Netflix; it is set to premiere in November this year with Imelda Staunton leading the cast as Queen Elizabeth.
Jonathan Pryce will star as Prince Philip, Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret, Dominic West as Prince Charles, Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana, Olivia Williams as Camilla Parker Bowles and Jonny Lee Miller as Prime Minister John Major.
