Alongside Elizabeth Debicki, we’ll see Dominic West joining the cast as the Prince of Wales and Jonathan Pryce as the Duke of Edinburgh. Some other actors include Bertie Carvel, Jonny Lee Miller, Lesley Manville and Senan West.
Imelda Staunton as Queen of England?
Along with the new cast, we’ll also see Imelda Staunton join the cast of The crown for Season 5. Well known for playing the villainous Dolores Umbridge in the Harry Potter movies, fans found her pitch-perfect and at times chilling performance in The order of the Phoenix.
I can’t look at her and think of anything but Dolores Umbridge.

I should have chosen Helen Mirren. I can’t stop thinking about Harry Potter when I look at this actress. In general, season 5 is horribly poorly broadcast.
