It's almost picture-perfect: Netflix has released publicity images revealing Princes William and Harry - along with their parents Princess Diana and Prince Charles - for the 6th and final season of the British royalty drama series The Crown and its art imitating life.
While Elizabeth Debicki is back as the suffering Princess Diana, there are two actors each for Prince William and Prince Harry - depicting younger and older versions of the heir and the spare.
Rufus Kampa is the younger Prince William in Part I of The Crown's sixth season while Ed McVey is the older Prince William in Part II. Fflyn Edwards is the younger Prince Harry in Part I of the 6th season, with Luther Ford in the role in Part II.

Part I has four episodes, with Part II having six episodes for a total of 10 episodes in the final season.
In the 6th season of The Crown, subscribers will see the development of the romantic relationship between Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed which culminates in their untimely deaths in a horrific car accident in a Paris tunnel which shocked the world and almost meant the end of the British royal family.
According to Netflix, the 6th season of The Crown also sees "Prince William trying to integrate back into life at Eton in the wake of his mother's death as the monarchy has to ride the wave of public opinion. As she reaches her Golden Jubilee, the Queen reflects on the future of the monarchy with the marriage of Charles and Camilla and the beginnings of a new Royal fairytale in William and Kate".
Imelda Staunton portrays Queen Elizabeth II with Jonathan Pryce in the role of Prince Phillip and Dominic West as Prince Charles.
