But can you guess who Bessie Carter's parents are?

She is the daughter of The Crown and Harry Potter star Imelda Staunton and Downton Abbey legend Jim Carter

However, Bessie has achieved her own fame by starring in all three series' of period Netflix show Bridgerton.

Fans will know her as the obnoxious Prudence Featherington.

But that isn't all, she is now starring in the new Netflix series Outrageous which follows the lives of the Mitford sisters, where she plays Nancy Mitford.

To top it off she is the star of the May issue of Tatler magazine, and her faces graces the front cover.

Outrageous is based in a true story, and speaking about playing Nancy, she told the publication: “We're not imitating them, but we're taking the essence of them and trying to regurgitate it as truth.

“It's something my mother had to go to town with given that the Queen was so known by everyone... she smashed it!

“I think that's such a hard line, but really doing the voice and the physicality and then bringing your own proof to it, that's the fun.'

She added that she was grateful that her parents are in business.

Bessie explained: ‘”They know that when I'm on my way home I might not have the energy to talk on the phone because they know how all-consuming it is. We just know the game,” Bessie explained.

In the Tatler shoot the actress looked stunning in a white dress with fur detailing.

Another saw her posing in a shimmering pink dress and fur shawl.

Away from the camera, it was revealed last year that Bessie is dating her Bridgerton co-star Sam Phillips, who plays Lord Debling in the show.
