First glimpses of Prince William and Kate Middleton from The Crown revealed

Popular series The Crown's versions of Prince William and Kate Middleton have arrived. Netflix revealed the first images of Ed McVey, 23, as Prince William and Meg Bellamy, 19, as Kate Middleton on Thursday.

As shown in the photos, the two are at St. Andrews during their university days.


They met there in 2001, while Middleton was studying art history.

The Crown Season 6 will be the final season of Netflix's hit drama about the royal family.

As reported by New York Post, the show has spanned decades so far, going back to the early days of Queen Elizabeth II. The final season will cover the '90s, including the death of Princes Diana, which has already caused controversy.

Imelda Staunton will return as Queen Elizabeth for Season 6, while Lesley Manville will play Princess Margaret, Jonathan Pryce will play Prince Philip, Dominic West will play Prince Charles, Olivia Williams will play Camilla Parker-Bowles, and Elizabeth Debicki will play Princess Diana.

Creator Peter Morgan has previously said that the show won't cover Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and their various controversies.

Netflix's official description of the photos reads, "As The Crown enters a new decade, Prince William starts at University in St Andrew's, determined to lead as normal a life as possible while he still can. Also beginning life as a University student, is Kate Middleton from Berkshire. As the pair meet for the first time on campus, a new romance and a new future for The Crown begins."

Netflix has not yet announced a premiere date for the final season.

'My Brilliant Career' review: Netflix makes a 125-year-old feminist story feel dangerously modern

Highlights

  • Netflix’s six-part series adapts Miles Franklin’s 1901 feminist novel
  • Phillipa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, a young writer determined to avoid the life chosen for her
  • The adaptation combines period drama with modern music, frank sexuality and stories of racism and social inequality

An erotic poem, a scandalised grandmother and a young woman with little interest in marriage make for an unexpectedly lively opening to My Brilliant Career. Netflix’s six-part adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel wastes little time establishing that this will not be a restrained period drama.

Adapted by Liz Doran, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely independent young woman who dreams of becoming a writer. It follows Gillian Armstrong’s acclaimed 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill, but brings a distinctly contemporary energy to Franklin’s story.
