With royal news at the top of the agenda after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, the people behind the US version of Red Nose Day have announced a competition that will give one lucky winner (and their guest) the opportunity to attend a garden tea party in London with the cast of Netflix's The Crown.

Red Nose Day director Emma Freud announced the competition with a video message from Vanessa Kirby, who explains that the winner will be able to have a cuppa with herself and Matt Smith, and graze on scones buttered by The Queen herself (Claire Foy, that is).

The winner (if US-based) will be flown to London, where they will also be put up in a swanky hotel and taken on a tour of Windsor Castle and the Buckingham Palace grounds to complete the royal experience. The competition costs $10 to enter, and all proceeds will go towards Red Nose Day funds dedicated to alleviating the suffering of children living in poverty. You can throw your hat in the ring here.
