“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. 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,” the official description reads.
McVey makes his professional screen debut in the role of Prince William, after having appeared on the stage in London.
Bellamy, meanwhile, landed her debut role thanks to an audition tape she submitted after seeing a casting call on social media.
Scenes between the two actors were filmed earlier this year in St. Andrews, Scotland, at some of the real-life locations the Prince and Princess of Wales actually frequented 20 years ago, during their courtship.
