These actors join a distinguished group of celebrities, like Matt Smith and Oscar-winner Olivia Colman, who have portrayed members of the Royal Family in the drama.
Netflix’s The Crown S6 will cover Queen Elizabeth II’s reign up to the early 2000s and detail the events that followed the death of the Princess of Wales.
Bellamy will portray a teenage Kate Middleton studying in Scotland at St Andrews University, before she became the Duchess of Cambridge, where she first met Prince William in 2001.
According to the Daily Telegraph, she is thought to have learned about the role just a few months after graduating from the school of Berkshire.
While McVey portrays the prince in his later adolescent years, Kampa will portray a young Prince William in episodes that depict how the family dealt with Princess Diana’s passing.
