First Image of Olivia Coleman from Netflix's The Crown Season 3

Netflix has released the first image featuring Olivia Coleman as HRM Queen Elizabeth II from season 3 of their drama series The Crown. Coleman is taking over as Her Majesty from Claire Foy, as there will be a changing of the guards (cast) in order to further the timeline of the story.

Reportedly season 3 begins in 1963 and will cover events such as the rise of The Beatles and England winning the soccer World Cup in 1966. It's a safe bet that we'll be seeing Camilla Parker Bowles at some point this season, as we'll be getting the beginning of the Prince Charles and Diana Spencer relationship.
