'The Crown' Cast Looks like Royalty at the Glitzy Season 3 Premiere

The Crown's third season debuts on Netfilx in a matter of days. In honor of the long-awaited streaming event, the cast and crew attended the premiere in London today, dressing up like real-life royals and walking the red carpet. The familiar faces from the first two seasons—like Emmy winner Claire Foy (Queen Elizabeth II), Matt Smith (Prince Philip), and Vanessa Kirby (Princess Margaret)—were missing in action, making way for the series' next generation of stars to take the spotlight.

Among those in the group were Oscar winner Olivia Colman, dressed in all black; Colman took the torch from Foy to portray the queen. Outlander and Game of Thrones star Tobias Menzies, who takes over from Smith as the sovereign's husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, looked dapper in a three-piece check suit. And Helena Bonham Carter, who succeeds Kirby as the queen's charming younger sister, was decked in chiffon and feathers.

The forthcoming season also introduces a new generation of royals in Prince Charles and Princess Anne, portrayed by rising stars Josh O'Connor and Erin Doherty respectively, the two eldest children of the queen and Prince Philip.

The third season of The Crown goes live on Netflix on Sunday, November 17. Scroll through to catch the stars at the premiere and see what they look like in character here.
