“Ambition.”
Production is currently underway for the third season of Netflix’s The Crown, with an entirely new cast in place.
We’ve gotten our first look at Queen Elizabeth II, as well as Princess Margaret – and now the historical drama has introduced their new Prince Philip.
Game of Thrones’ Tobias Menzies is taking over the role of the Duke of Edinburgh from Matt Smith, who played the part for two series.

Netflix has been giving fans a number of glimpses into season three over the last few weeks – including the first look at Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret.
Last month, the historical drama released photos of both characters following the decision to recast the roles.
Season three is expected to chronicle the British royal family between the years of 1964 and 1976 – which led The Crown bosses to recast the main roles.
Broadchurch’s Olivia Coleman will be playing HRH for the next two seasons, following Claire Foy’s hugely successful portrayal of the monarch.

Ben Daniels will be joining the show as Lord Snowdon, or Antony Armstrong-Jones – and Netflix have also shared the first shot of him.
The role was previously played by Matthew Goode.

The images come after the show has just received 13 Emmy nominations including one for Foy in her role as young Elizabeth.
