In a bit of nepotism that the Royal Family itself would approve of, The Crown has cast its Prince William. Starring opposite Dominic West as Prince Charles in the Netflix drama’s much-anticipated fifth season is West’s own son, Senat. The 13-year-old actor has been cast in the coveted role of the future Duke of Cambridge after a “nationwide search.”
As per Variety, who broke the news, Senat West plays “a slightly older Prince William, portraying him as he begins to mature into a young man.” He’ll make his debut in the acclaimed series in the final episodes of season five. Variety notes that it wasn’t just Senat’s family ties than landed him the gig. According to the trade’s sources, “The young actor’s audition, submitted via tape by his agent, caught the attention of the show’s producers.”
