Emerald took on the role in season three and four of the hit drama.

When she bagged the role, Fennell said that she was “absolutely over the moon, and completely terrified, to be joining so many hugely talented people on The Crown.

She said: “I absolutely love Camilla, and am very grateful that my teenage years have well prepared me for playing a chain-smoking serial snogger with a pudding-bowl haircut.”

Olivia Williams is reportedly set to take on the role of Camilla in seasons five and six of The Crown.

The fourth season of the Crown covered the time period between 1979 and 1990.
