THE sixth series of Netflix show The Crown has started filming in St Andrews, where the Prince of Wales met his now wife.
The new series of the show will feature William’s time at the University of St Andrews, where in 2001 he met and later fell in love with Kate Middleton, now the Princess of Wales.
Actor Ed McVey, 21, who will play the Prince throughout his late teens and early twenties, was seen filming scenes for the show in the Fife town on Tuesday.
Meg Bellamy, 19, who is playing Kate in the show, has also been seen filming scenes around St Andrews.
McVey was seen dressed in jeans, a white shirt with a burgundy jumper and blue jacket, sitting in the window of the pub Molly Malones and then leaving it carrying books as he crossed the road.
William and Kate became friends during their time at university, and began a relationship after she caught the 19-year-old Prince’s attention when she strode down the catwalk in a sheer dress for a charity fashion show.
The pair graduated in 2005 and briefly split up in 2007, but William went on to propose in November of 2010, with the couple marrying the following year.
They have since had three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
In the series, Elizabeth Debicki and Dominic West will reprise their roles as Diana, Princess of Wales and the then-Prince Charles, with Imelda Staunton continuing as Queen Elizabeth and Jonathan Pryce as the late Duke of Edinburgh.
The last season of the show focused on the marriage breakdown of Charles and Diana and the leaked phone calls between Charles and Camilla.
Several roads have been closed as filming continues to take place over the next few days in the area.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
