Crown actor Tobias Menzies’ earnings rocket £300,000 since landing his biggest part yet as Prince Philip

CROWN actor Tobias Menzies has seen his earnings rocket by £300,000 after landing his biggest part yet as Prince Philip.

Accounts for his company T-Man Productions Limited show his assets shot up from £396,000 to £705,000 in the year he was filming the Netflix royal show’s third season.

Menzies is the sole shareholder and employee of the company which filed its best ever accounts since it was formed in 2014 – and the biggest leap.

He set up the company when he landed a role in US produced show Outlander in 2014, which was broadcast on Amazon in the UK.

Menzies, 45, replaced Matt Smith, the former Dr Who, in the role as the Queen’s husband for the latest series which has seen a number of new actors playing the royal family.

He has won rave reviews for his portrayal playing alongside Oscar winner Olivia Coleman as the Queen and Helen Bonham-Carter, who plays Princess Margaret.

Despite a leading role in Outlander, he has failed to win a Golden Globe or Emmy for the US produced series.

But such has been the impact of his performance as the Duke of Edinburgh he is being tipped by many in Hollywood to get at least a nomination early next year.
