The Crown fans have the opportunity to snap up a special Royal Tea Party experience with two cast members as part of a charity auction.

War Child is offering the highest bidder the chance to have a sit down tea with Princess Margaret stars Helena Bonham Carter and Vanessa Kirby in order to raise money for young people living in conflict zones, whose situations have worsened due to the coronavirus.

The winner will be able to bring along a friend for afternoon tea with the stars at a London location.

Kirby, who is a Global Ambassador for the charity, said she was "honoured" to be able to support the cause.

The 32-year-old played the monarch's sister in the historical drama for two series before Bonham Carter, 54, took over for season three. She's set to reprise her role in the fourth instalment before Lesley Manville steps in for seasons five and six.

The six-week campaign from War Child UK is aiming to raise £300,000 through the Crowdfunder for the relief effort.

A wealth of experiences involving other famous faces are available through prize draw or to bid on and buy instantly, with details to be found here.
