Every Actor And Actress Who Has Portrayed Prince William And Kate Middleton On Screen

After entertaining royal enthusiasts and curious republicans for seven years, "The Crown" is coming to an end in 2023. In the sixth and final season, we get to see the early courtship of Princess Catherine and Prince William. The princess is played by newcomer Meg Bellamy, who looks startlingly similar to a young Kate Middleton.

Bellamy conceded to Harper's Bazaar that becoming part of "The Crown" team was a surreal experience, and she felt overwhelmed when attending her first red carpet event in Los Angeles to promote the Netflix series. The gig is Bellamy's first major acting role; her only other appearance was in the 2021 short film "The Prince of Savile Row."

In an interview with The Telegraph, she revealed that she was an ordinary girl working in Legoland when a friend, who noted her resemblance to Catherine, encouraged her to reply to a casting call for "The Crown." "Speaking to you now, before The Crown has come out, I can still walk around and no one knows who I am," she reflected. "But I think the biggest time I noticed that was when we filmed in St. Andrews; that was pretty intense. It's a small place, and we were the talk of the town." 

Bellamy may be unknown for now, but, like seasoned stars of "The Crown," she will no doubt become a household name once her story arc is released in December 2023.
