The actors playing Prince William and Kate Middleton in the final season of The Crown have been seen sharing a kiss in the rain in St Andrews.
Ed McVey, 22, and newcomer Meg Bellamy, 19, play Wills and Kate in the sixth series of the Netflix historical drama, which will largely focus on the early days of their blossoming romance.
