Who is Oli Green playing in The Crown?

Oli Green has been cast in the upcoming season of The Crown. The sixth and final instalment of the show has already generated plenty of conversation as it's set to feature characters depicting a young Prince William and Kate Middleton. The episodes will detail their early love story which began when they met at St. Andrews University.

Meanwhile, Oli is set to appear in the cast as Rupert Finch. Rupert, a fellow St Andrews University student, is the boyfriend of Kate and therefore a love rival of Prince William.

A series of stills from on-set of The Crown were released earlier this year showing Ed McVey as William, Meg Bellamy as Kate, and Oli as Rupert. One photo shows Oli and Meg in character as Rupert and Kate respectively holding hands as they walk around the streets of St Andrews in Scotland.

Oli studied at the prestigious Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute in New York and it seems this put him in good stead for an acting career. He's had previous credits in The Bold and the Beautiful, The Mosquito Coast and A Good Person.
