Prince Philip
Seasons One and Two: Matt Smith
Seasons Three and Four: Tobias Menzies
Seasons Five and Six: Jonathan Pryce
Matt Smith earned his first Emmy nomination for the role of Prince Philip, the Queen’s mystifying counterpart in the first two seasons. Seasons Three and Four saw Outlander‘s Tobias Menzies as the older version. You can see how much they resemble each other!

As for Seasons Five and Six, however, the honor will be given to Jonathan Pryce. The Two Popes actor will play the Queen’s husband – the man she called “strength and stay” – in the next two seasons. It’s a good thing he stayed by her side, considering 1992 was the year dubbed “annus horribilis” thanks to all the scandals of the royal family.
