Tobias Menzies is set to star as Prince Philip in the third season of The Crown, but ahead of its launch the actor spoke candidly about OBEs and the reason he may not accept one
Tobias is best known for his role in Game of Thrones November 12, 2019 - 16:26 GMT Aisha Nozari Actor Tobias Menzies, who plays the Duke of Edinburgh in season three of The Crown, has revealed that he would down an OBE if ever he is offered one. Speaking to the Radio Times, the 45-year-old explained: "I’d definitely think about not accepting an OBE." The star continued: "Inherently I don’t massively agree with the honours system. It feels like it entrenches privilege.
Tobias, best known for roles in Outlander and Game of Thrones, has so far received rave reviews for his royal portrayal. Earlier in November, the Radio Times said he plays the Duke with "less charm and more self-absorption than his predecessor Matt Smith, but that’s actually pretty solid character development as Philip gets older and grouchier.
