There they are! Netflix is giving fans of The Crown their first glimpse of young Prince William and Princess Kate in the upcoming sixth season.
Photos from the royal drama were released on Thursday, April 27, showing newcomers Ed McVey and Meg Bellamy in character as the duke and duchess, respectively. One image shows the twosome smiling as they walk hand in hand on the University of St Andrews campus in Scotland.

Both actors are making their Crown debuts on season 6, which will be the show’s final installment. “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,” read an official synopsis from the streaming platform. “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.”
A premiere date has not yet been announced, but the season features a star-studded cast, including Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II and Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip. Dominic West and Elizabeth Debicki will return to portray now-King Charles III and the late Princess Diana, respectively.
