“The Crown” Season 5 will be a family affair: Dominic West, who is playing an older version of Prince Charles, will be joined on the Netflix series by his teenage son Senan West, who was just cast in the role of a young Prince William, TheWrap has learned.
According to Variety, which first reported the news of Senan West’s casting as Prince William on “The Crown,” the 13-year-old actor will portray a “slightly older” version of Prince William “as he begins to mature into a young man.”
Senan West will not appear on the show until the final episodes of Season 5, the season during which “The Crown” will dive into the tragic events surrounding of the August 1997 death of Prince William’s mother, Princess Diana (played on Season 5 by Elizabeth Debicki, who is replacing Season 4 star Emma Corrin).
