Netflix The Crown bosses are searching for Prince Harry lookalike

Netflix is on the hunt for an "exceptional" young actor to play Prince Harry in the next series of The Crown.

It comes after an air date for the fifth series of the royal drama was confirmed. The Crown has traditionally launched in November, and the upcoming series will see Dominic West star as Charles and Elizabeth Debicki as Diana.

The Wire star West, 52, takes over the role of Charles from Josh O'Connor, while The Night Manager actress Debicki replaces Emma Corrin. Imelda Staunton will take over the role of the Queen from Olivia Colman, while Jonathan Pryce replaces Tobias Menzies as the Duke of Edinburgh and Lesley Manville will be Princess Margaret, following in the footsteps of Helena Bonham Carter.

Casting Director Robert Sterne now wants a fresh face to play Prince Harry. Part of a casting call said: "It is a significant role in this award-winning drama and we are looking for a strong physical resemblance. No previous professional acting experience is required."

Anyone who wishes to apply should send their name, age and a recent selfie, as well as where you are currently based. If you're under 18, you will need a parent or guardian's permission to apply.

Any aspiring actors should also attach a short video clip of themselves talking about something they love doing, "close up on head and shoulders in good natural lighting, starting by saying your full name, age and height. Direct from your mobile phone is fine".

To register your interest, send your submission to casting@robertsterne.co.uk by 6pm on October 14.
