Crown actor: This is scarier than TV

FINN Elliot, who starred as the young Prince Philip in Netflix series The Crown, said getting his results made him more nervous than being on television.

As the 16- year- old opened his envelope, he said: ‘ I’m shaking, I really am, this is much scarier than being on TV – this is important for the rest of my life. ‘Even when I am doing drama, school has always been the priority.’

Revealing his score of three 9s, three 8s, and a 7 – as well as two A*s and an A – he said: ‘I’m stoked with my results, this is a massive weight off my shoulders.’

The actor, pictured left with his mother Mini and in The Crown, will now do his A-levels at Portsmouth Grammar School – but wants to carry on acting.

His mother, from Chichester, West Sussex, said: ‘He’s totally proved he can juggle acting and school, he actually keeps them separate.’
