Actor Josh O'Connor ,28, made a convincing Charles as he stood clad in his T-shirt emblazoned with the prince's polo number '4' across it.

Josh captured Charles' youthful spirit as he bashfully spoke to his future wife Camilla in 1975.

And actress Emerald Fennell ,33, channelled a buxom young Camilla to perfection.

Wearing the same red polo top as Camilla in the iconic photo taken at Cirencester Park, Emerald looked a dead-ringer for the now Duchess of Cornwall.

The actress joined co-star Ben Daniels as she got to work filming her first few scenes, and she was in full costume.

But it was the first time that she'd been spotted with her on-screen sister the Queen - as played by Olivia.

And from the looks of it, the pair seamlessly took to their royal roles.

Though both stars have previously spoken of their fears about taking on The Queen and Princess Margaret.

She said: "I'm not sure which I'm more terrified about – doing justice to the real Princess Margaret or following in the shoes of Vanessa Kirby.

"The only thing I can guarantee is that I'll be shorter than Vanessa."

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Olivia said: “I’m really nervous to take over something that’s been so great — it’s scary.

“They’re giving me a great voice coach who will make sure I speak like the Queen.

"So I’ll just learn the lines and try and copy exactly what they do.

“Claire Foy has let me know I can call if I need to.”
