Kate Middleton and Prince William's Royal Romance Will Feature in Part 2 of The Crown
The first four episodes of The Crown's final season are currently streaming, and the final six will drop next month, in December. Along with focusing on Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee and the future of the royal family, the episodes will highlight the beginnings of Prince William and Kate Middleton's royal romance.
Ed McVey and Meg Bellamy, who play William and Kate, were spotted filming at St. Andrews earlier this year. William famously met Kate at the University of St. Andrews in 2001, and during a school charity fashion show, Kate wore a revealing dress by designer Charlotte Todd that sparked their romance. Netflix is going to recreate this moment, according to new stills released:
William reportedly had a front row seat at the "Don't Walk" fashion show on March 27, 2002 at St. Andrews Bay Hotel. Reportedly, the Prince turned to his friend, Fergus Boyd, and whispered, "Wow, Fergus, Kate's hot!" during the fashion show. And the rest, they say, is history. The Netflix drama will portray other romantic moments between Kate and William (see above).
Years later, Kate joked about this moment at the 600th anniversary of St. Andrews. "I hope you weren't involved in the fashion show. You never know what you are going to be asked to wear!" she told undergraduates at St. Andrews in 2012.
Other first-look images released by the streamer today show Charles skiing with Prince Williams and Harry (likely recreating their trip to Whistler in 1998):
And Charles and Camilla's wedding in 2005, which is rumored to be the end of the show:

The Crown season six, part two drops on December 14, 2023.
