- Meg Bellamy is a 20-year-old British actress.
- Meg shares many similarities with the royal character.
- She is portrayed in the final episodes of “The Crown.”
The actress from Britain has a lot of things in common with the royal character she will portray in the last episodes of the popular Netflix show.
“The Crown,” which landed on Netflix in November 2016, has made many British actors famous. The show, created by Peter Morgan, tells the story of the British royal family and Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. It’s now on its third set of actors as it heads into its final season. The series has boosted the careers of Claire Foy, Vanessa Kirby, Josh O’Connor, and Emma Corrin. Season 6, which started on November 16, focuses on the emotional aspects of Princess Diana’s (Elizabeth Debicki) tragic death. Despite this, the show still has more new stars to showcase.
The next part of season 6, coming out on December 14, will have six new episodes. It will show a made-up love story about Prince William and Catherine Middleton. Newcomers Ed McVey and Meg Bellamy will play the roles of Prince William and Catherine. Bellamy, a 20-year-old actor who was unknown before, will portray the future Princess of Wales during her time at university in Scotland. Let’s find out more about this new and upcoming star.
Bellamy, who strongly resembles Middleton, also shares similarities with her dating back to their childhoods. The 20-year-old actress was born in Leeds and grew up in Wokingham, Berkshire County, England, just 22 miles away from where Middleton was raised in Buckleberry village. Both women did well in school, with Bellamy serving as head girl at St Crispin’s School, where she participated in the school choir and studied acting. The outlet adds that her studies gave her the “opportunity to learn about a wide range of plays, styles and practitioners.”

“I had a very happy childhood,” she told the outlet. “I was born in Leeds, where I lived for five years, then my parents moved down to Berkshire and I went to school there. I did so much acting growing up. I was always singing and putting on little shows, so my mum decided that I needed an outlet and sent me to the Stagecoach Performing Arts school when I was three or four. I also played netball and other team sports, so it was a really lovely childhood.”

Bellamy is set to appear on TV for the first time in the final episodes of The Crown. Before this, her only credited role was in a short film called The Prince of Saville Row, where she used the name Meg Smith. She had some experience in school plays, especially in musical theater, and even worked briefly at Legoland. Bellamy got her royal role after seeing a casting call on social media, submitting a self-taped audition, and making history.
“With every audition, I just watched and watched [Kate],” she told The Telegraph. Reading about her and listening to her was so important both before and during. During the time period that I play her, there’s no recording of her speaking so you have to picture her younger.”
Bellamy, who is 19 years old, was filming The Crown, and coincidentally, that’s the same age Middleton was when she and William were studying art history at St. Andrew’s University in Scotland in 2001. In the upcoming season 6, Bellamy will portray Middleton’s life from 2001 to 2005.
When questioned about her thoughts on the royal family before joining The Crown, Bellamy confessed that she didn’t have any strong opinions about them. However, she did get caught up in the excitement surrounding a significant royal event.
“I remember key events, like Kate and Will’s wedding. I was at home and my mum had a little party. Us kids were more interested in the cake but I remember saying, ‘Tell me when they kiss, tell me when they’re on the balcony.’ I sat watching the TV and was totally in awe of her, like we all were. Now I can now look back on it and think, ‘Ahhh…'”
