Bettany would join Olivia Colman and Helena Bonham Carter -- set to play Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Margaret, respectively -- in the cast. At least a portion of Season 3 is set in the 1970s, and will include, among other things, the breakup of Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon. (It doesn't count as a spoiler if it already happened IRL, right?)。) 。

Anyway, Paul Bettany looks kind of similar to 1970s Prince Philip, so he's got that going for him, which is nice.。
