“The Crown” already has its Prince Williams and Kate Middleton

Although the fifth season of “The Crown” has not yet been released, the sixth and final season is beginning to take shape. As Deadline reports, The Netflix series has already found the actors who will play Prince Williams and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. After an exhaustive casting process, young Rufus Kampa was selected to play the role of the prince at age 15, while Ed McVey will play him in late teens and early adulthood. In the case of Middleton, he will have only one face: that of Meg Bellamy. All 3 are new to television, even if they have experience in theater.

Kampa, 16, will appear in episodes where the British royal family faces Lady Di’s death, the Princess of Wales, in August 1997. Diana will be played in the fifth and sixth season by Elizabeth Debicki, replacing Emma Corrin. The actor starred in the comedy “Adrian Mole’s Secret Diary” on the West End stage for three years, although he has many other productions on his resume than him.

After a time jump, McVey (21) will take on the role of William of Cambridge and we will see how he met Kate Middleton and the beginning of their relationship, when the two were studying art history at the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland in 2001. McVey is now working on the play “Camp Siegfried” at the Old Vic in London, while Bellamy, 16, plays the Duchess of Cambridge, she is practically a novice in all aspects of acting. Filming for the sixth season will begin later this year.

But before

The fifth season of “The Crown” will premiere in November on the streaming platform and will present us with an entirely new cast with Imelda Staunton at the helm who will bring Queen Elizabeth to life. Jonathan Pryce is the new Philip of Edinburgh, we will see Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret, Dominic West as Prince Charles, Debicki as Diana, Olivia Williams as Camilla Parker Bowles and Jonny Lee Miller as Prime Minister John Major. Additionally, towards the end of the season, West’s son Senan West will play a young Prince Williams, around 11, and Teddy Hawley and Will Powell will play Prince Harry as a child.

While it hasn’t been confirmed which years this season will be about, it is believed that Lady Di’s car accident won’t come until the sixth and the next is expected to cover the early 90s. Obviously, Dodi Al-Fayed, Diana’s boyfriend who died with her in the accident, and her father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, will appear. The former is played by Khalid Abdalla (“Kites in the Sky”) and the second by Salim Daw (“Oslo”).
