Pippa Middleton is heading to “The Crown.”
Part one of the sixth and final turn of the hit Netflix royal drama is set to premiere on Nov. 16.
The second helping will drop on Dec. 14. and will see the Firm entering the modern age with events like Prince William meeting now-wife Kate Middleton in 2001 — and an appearance of the Princess of Wales’ younger sister!
19-year-old unknown actress Matilda Broadbridge will be playing a young Pippa in the series, and she recently announced her casting on Instagram.
Alongside a photo of Broadbridge smiling next to her trailer, she penned: “A very short but very sweet trip to crown land👑 .”
“So excited to announce that i’ll be appearing as Pippa Middleton in @thecrownnetflix,” she continued. “So grateful to have been a tiny part of this production and for this experience. Keep your eyes peeled❤️ #thecrown #netflix #pippamiddleton.”
Meg Bellamy, 19, who portrays Kate, in “The Crown,” happily commented: “Eeee my talented talented sistaaaa!”
23-year-old British actor Ed McVey makes his his on-screen debut as a 20-year-old William on the streaming network’s original series.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met over two decades ago while they were both studying at St. Andrews University in Scotland.
The final season will showcase how the royal family endured the tumultuous late ‘90s and the early 2000s.
Events such as Princess Diana’s untimely death in 1997, the then-Prince Charles’ wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005 and former Prime Minister Tony Blair’s premiership will be tackled.
Returning stars from season five include Imelda Staunton, 67, as Queen Elizabeth II, Jonathan Pryce, 76, as the Duke of Edinburgh, Elizabeth Debicki, 33, as Diana, Dominic West as Charles and Lesley Manville, 67, as Princess Margaret.
Actor Luther Ford is playing a young and rebellious Harry. One conflict that the season will also tackle is the aftermath of Harry’s infamous Nazi costume scandal of 2005.
