Anthony Eden served three periods as the United Kingdom’s Foreign Secretary before becoming Prime Minister in 1955. On The Crown, he is brilliantly portrayed by Jeremy Northam, the man standing in a coat in the left picture. Did you guess correctly?

During the time period the show takes place in, Eden was the Foreign Secretary and deputy to Winston Churchill. Jeremy Northam was born in 1961. By then Eden’s reputation was at a low point thanks to major blunders as Prime Minister that set the United Kingdom back several years.
