Menzies had a tough job following Smith’s critically praised performance as Prince Philip opposite Claire Foy’s portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II.
Outlander and Game of Thrones star Tobias Menzies, for instance, reprises his role as Prince Philip, after taking over from Matt Smith in season two.
Menzies has said that Prince Philip is “a pretty hard person to get a grasp on”, but revealed last year in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar that he was keen to defend him from accusations of being a cold father towards Prince Charles.
We also see Philip take a shine to Diana, especially during the early days of her courtship with Charles.
