 With season 5 of Netflix's The Crown just around the corner, we are already starting to get news on the sixth and final season in the way of casting. In my previous videos I've discussed the main cast who will be carrying the show through season 5 and 6, but joining them in season 6 will be young Prince William and Kate Middleton. I'm Matt Rogers and join me today as we take a look at who will be playing the Duke and Duchess, as well as what we can expect from season 6. Now I'm bringing you all the latest news and updates for The Crown and delivering it straight to your subscription feed, so to stay up to date and support the channel be sure to hit that like button, subscribe and ring that bell to not miss a single thing. If you've been watching my videos some of you may know that season 6 was close to not going ahead, as Netflix has announced the show would be ending after 5 seasons, but lucky for us creator Peter Morgan reconsidered and a sixth season was green lit to quote, do justice to the richness and complexity of the story, end quote. So this means season 5 will take The Crown into the 1990s, covering the many relationship breakdowns and tragedies that the royals faced at that time. Season 6 however will take the story from 1997 to the early 2000s, and to a young William and Kate. The BBC has confirmed that there will be two actors playing Prince William at different ages and one playing Kate Middleton. All three are actually newcomers to the acting scene, and some even making their professional debuts, which I always appreciate as The Crown is such a huge platform for its stars, and casting newcomers can be a great way to kickstart the careers of these young talents. Rufus Camper will be playing a teenage prince. William was just 15 when his mother died, so it will likely Camper will be playing the role during the earlier episodes covering the aftermath of the tragedy. Although new to on-screen acting, Camper has had many stage roles, including productions on and off West End. The Prince will later be aged up to his late teens and early 20s, and will then be played by Ed McVeigh. McVeigh went to the Drama Centre London in 2021 and has since been an understudy in the play Camp Siegfried at the Old Vic in London. McVeigh will be playing the Prince into the years where he met Kate, who will be played by Meg Bellamy. McVeigh wrote on Instagram, quote, I'm absolutely buzzing to be given the opportunity to play Prince William in The Crown in Series 6, alongside the amazing Meg Bellamy. Gonna be an amazing shoot, can't wait to learn all I can, end quote. Bellamy has had credits in amateur dramas and filmmaking, but is also getting her first on-screen role in The Crown after submitting an audition to a social media call out. Bellamy posted on Instagram, quote, pinch me please. So excited to announce that I'll be playing Kate Middleton in Series 6 of Netflix's The Crown. It is such an honor to be joining the most incredible cast and crew, and I will strive to do Kate justice, end quote. The Duke and Duchess met while studying at Scotland's University of St Andrews, and we are likely to see the two walking the halls together in the early stages of their relationship. So we have that to look forward to in the final season, which begins filming in September 2022. Back to season 5 news, and Deadline has reported that Dominic West, who is playing the Prince of Wales in that season, his own son Sinon West will be playing William in the final episode of season 5. With Timothy Samboa also playing the young Prince, and a young Prince Harry will be played by Teddy Hawley and Will Powell. Harry, however, has yet to be cast for season 6. But what events are you most looking forward to The Crown portraying in the final two seasons? Could they be the strongest seasons yet? I'd love to hear what you think, so let me know.
