A casting agent has made a last minute call for an actor to play Prince Harry in the next Netflix series of The Crown.
The job ad, which expires on October 14, is searching for someone who has a strong physical resemblance to the Duke of Sussex - but no professional acting experience is necessary.
An actor between the ages of 16-20 is being sought and applicants are being told to email a short video of themselves talking about something they love as part of the process.
Shooting for series six of the popular drama will begin next month.
The job description reads: 'Robert Sterne, Casting Director of the Netflix series THE CROWN, is searching for an exceptional young actor to play PRINCE HARRY in the next series.
The casting call for William and Harry said the roles in the drama are 'significant' indicating there may be storylines effecting the young Princes' lives in the late nineties and early noughties.

The casting call indicates the series will run until at least 2005, likely starting around 1998 - just a year after Princess Diana's death.
In 1998, Prince Harry started school at the prestigious Eton College, Berkshire, where he was educated until he left in June 2003, aged 18, with two A-levels in Art and Geography.
After leaving school, he took a gap year where he spent three months working on a cattle station in southern Queensland, Australia, and two months in Lesotho, where he visited an orphanage for children with Aids.
In May 2005, aged 20, Prince Harry entered the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst to bein his training as an Officer Cadet.
Less than a year later, he joined the Blues and Royals, and was commissioned as an Army officer just six months before his 21st birthday.
