Maybe there’s more than one similarity between Villanelle and Fennell. Her name is about to become as familiar to you as her assassin character is.

This year, Fennell has not only written the entire second season of Killing Eve, but she is also starring as young Camilla Parker Bowles opposite Josh O’Connor’s Prince Charles in season three of The Crown. With Olivia Colman in the titular role of Queen Elizabeth II and Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret, it’s one of the most hotly anticipated television shows of 2019.

Season three depicts Charles and Camilla as a love story for the ages, one that was thwarted by the machinations of senior royal family members. Remember poor Princess Margaret, barred from marrying the man she loved because of outdated notions of protocol and tradition? The same thing happened to Charles and Camilla at first, The Crown suggests.

Their story takes over the second half of season three, even giving the series its sexiest scene, in which Charles watches Camilla as she reclines in a clawfoot bathtub, tumbler of gin in hand. Their separation in the season’s penultimate episode is heartbreaking.
