AceShowbiz - Netflix has unleashed the first official look at Prince William and Kate Middleton on "The Crown". On Thursday, April 28, the streamer debuted the first professional photos of the show's upcoming sixth and final season, featuring Ed McVey and Meg Bellamy as the-now Prince and Princess of Wales at the beginning of their relationship.
In one of the snaps, the pair are seen holding hands as they walk together. McVey sports William's signature hairstyle during that time and a blue shirt underneath a navy blue sweater. His head is turned to face Bellamy, who dons a gray top. The lovebirds also wear matching jeans.
Two other images give individual shots of McVey's William and Bellamy's Kate. McVey appears to be sitting in one of the rooms at the royal residence, while Bellamy is featured in a class room.
There's also a behind-the-scenes shot of McVey and Bellamy posing cutely in front of the St Andrews cafe, "where Kate met Wills (for coffee)."
The final season of "The Crown" is set to follow the late 1990s and early 2000s of the royal family, including the portrayal of the love story between the current Prince and Princess of Wales. The two first met at the University of St Andrews in Scotland in 2001.
According to the streamer, Prince William starts at St Andrews determined to lead as normal a life as possible while he still can. At the same time, Kate Middleton enrolls in the university. When they meet for the first time on campus, a new romance and a new future for "The Crown" begins.
"When I first met Kate, I knew there was something very special about her, and then I knew there was possibly something I wanted to explore there, but we ended up being friends for a while," William said during the couple's 2010 engagement interview with ITV News. The 40-year-old future king added, "That was a good sort of foundation. I do genuinely believe now that being friends with [each other] is a massive advantage."
"The Crown" will return with the new season 6 later this year on Netflix.
