Young actors Sebastian Winfield and Alexia Davies shine in Royal YouTuber Lydia Alty’s new film
Two bright young performers, Sebastian Winfield and Alexia Davies, have appeared in a brand-new royal education film created by Lydia Alty, the 20-year-old Royal Journalist and YouTuber whose documentaries about the monarchy have earned her more than 280,000 subscribers and over 100 million views across social media.
The film, titled The History of the Modern Royal Family, was posted back on Friday, November 7 on Lydia’s YouTube channel, Royal Reporter Lydia.
The project brought together 15 young actors from across the UK who narrate different parts of the story of Britain’s monarchy — from how King Charles III became King, to the modern roles of the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children.
Ten-year-old Sebastian Winfield, who is represented by Kitsch Talent Agency, Thirteen Ten, and Little London Kids, has already made a strong name for himself in the performing arts industry. He has appeared in national campaigns for Cinch, and has recently been cast in the upcoming live-action adaptation of Dora the Explorer.
Earlier this year, Sebastian met Lydia Alty in person at the Young Talent Expo, where he took part in media workshops and interviews for young performers. He was also interviewed by Ruby Sussex, an up-and-coming presenter known for her work spotlighting emerging UK talent.
Also aged ten, Alexia Davies, who shares representation with Thirteen Ten Talent and Little London Kids, has an impressive list of credits, including modelling campaigns and commercials for LV Insurance. Known for her natural confidence and expressive storytelling, Alexia has become a familiar face in audition rooms and has developed a strong professional reputation for her maturity and ability to adapt quickly on set.
In Lydia’s new film, both Sebastian and Alexia narrate sections about the younger members of the Royal Family, exploring how the Prince and Princess of Wales balance their royal duties with family life, and the importance of their charitable work. The pair’s friendship and on-screen chemistry have made them a popular duo in the casting world — they often audition together and have even performed sibling roles for screen tests.
Lydia Alty, who is known for her royal documentaries and educational digital content, said she was delighted to have Sebastian and Alexia involved. “They both brought so much personality and professionalism to the project,” she said. “Sebastian has a fantastic curiosity and energy, and Alexia has this calm, confident voice that makes her narration so believable. Together, they’ve helped make royal history exciting and relatable for young viewers."
The film’s release marks another big milestone for both young actors, who continue to represent the UK's growing reputation for producing exceptional young talent. With strong early credits and an infectious enthusiasm for performing, Sebastian Winfield and Alexia Davies are quickly becoming names to watch — both in front of the camera and beyond.
