Meet the Little-Known Actress Playing Kate Middleton in The Crown

A Remarkable Match

Move over Meghan, there's a new Kate in town. Little-known actress Meg Bellamy is set to light up the Palace - on TV, at least. She will be playing Kate Middleton in the sixth and final series of Netflix hit The Crown. And not only does she look like the Duchess, but she also shares many similarities with her.

A Striking Resemblance

When you see Meg Bellamy walking down the street hand in hand with actor Ed McVey, who plays Prince William, you might do a double take. With her long brunette hair, slender figure, and stylish outfit, she could easily pass for William's wife. But it's not just her appearance that is reminiscent of Kate.

Shared Backgrounds

Meg, 21, grew up in Wokingham, just a few miles from Kate in Royal Berkshire. Both women shared a love of team sports and were high achievers at school. They also both had a passion for drama and performed in school musicals. Since finding themselves in the public eye, they have both developed a love for fashion.

Rising Star

Meg's time in the spotlight is just beginning, and she seems to be making the most of it. She has reportedly signed a promotional deal with luxury French brand Dior, a coveted opportunity previously falsely linked to Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. It's a remarkable rise for Meg, who not long ago was wearing a brick costume for her job at a Berkshire theme park.

A Perfect Match

The producers of The Crown knew they had found the right actress to portray the future Princess of Wales when they saw Meg. She bears a striking resemblance to Kate, especially during the early stages of her romance with William. Meg studied Kate's makeup and watched videos of her to get the likeness just right.

Similar Backgrounds and Talents

Like Kate, Meg comes from a non-acting family but had the support of her parents to pursue her ambitions. She attended performing arts school and had a passion for drama from a young age. Both women were also sporty and had to deal with the challenges of being tall. Meg even faced bullying for her height, just like Kate did.

A New Chapter

Meg's appearance in The Crown is a turning point in her acting career. She hopes that her role as Kate Middleton will open up more opportunities for her in the industry. She has already started to earn money through modeling, wearing high-end brands that she never dreamed of wearing before. And as she steps into the regal role, all eyes will be on her.
