"Game of Thrones" star Tobias Menzies has been cast in the role of Prince Philip in Netflix's royal drama "The Crown". The 44-year-old actor will take over the role from Matt Smith for the show's third and fourth seasons, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Smith played the role for two years alongside Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth II, who will now be portrayed by "Broadchurch" star Olivia Colman as the show jumps ahead a few years. Colman and Menzies had earlier worked together on spy drama "The Night Manager".
