The Crown is entering a new millennium in Season 6, Part 2 as Peter Morgan’s groundbreaking series comes to an end with its upcoming final six episodes on Dec. 14.
When we left off at the end of Part 1, the British royal family was navigating the aftermath of the sudden deaths of Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) and Dodi Fayed (Khalid Abdalla) after their fatal car crash in Paris.
Picking up a few months after the tragedy, Part 2 sees Prince William and Prince Harry growing up, with the former (now played by newcomer Ed McVey) pursuing his studies at the University of St. Andrews. It’s time for some royal romance when William meets fellow student Kate Middleton (Meg Bellamy) during his time at uni.
Bellamy tells Tudum it was “a real privilege, for sure, and such a pleasure” to join the cast of such an acclaimed series. “I’ve always...

Prince William’s lips are sealed on The Crown. A royal biographer claims in their newest book the Prince of Wales refuses to share his thoughts on the now-completed Netflix series about the late Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. Instead, he simply “rolls his eyes” at mentions of the show. Ahead, why William doesn’t publicly discuss The Crown. Hint: It has to do with the royal family’s longtime motto. Plus, how he’s portrayed in the award-winning program’s final season.
William won’t publicly complain about ‘The Crown’ because he doesn’t want to be seen as a ‘complainer’
Between sharing details about the day Queen Elizabeth died and the Princess Lilibet name drama in his book, The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy, author Robert Hardman discussed The Crown.

Kate Middleton has had abdominal surgery in London and won’t be seen in public for months.
A statement from Kensington Palace, where she used to reside, said the wife of Prince William will not return to public duties “until after Easter,” a lengthy time out the limelight.
Kensington Palace did not confirm further details of Middleton’s treatment but the statement posted on X said she will be in hospital for two to three weeks and recovery will take two to three months.
“Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic yesterday for planned abdominal surgery,” said the statement. “The surgery was successful and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery.”

Apparently, The Crown’s depiction of young Kate Middleton wasn’t entirely true to real life. According to a historian, the now-Princess of Wales didn’t have reservations about her mother, Carole Middleton’s plan to get her and Prince William together. Unlike her character played by Meg Bellamy, Kate wasn’t “resisting” Carole’s idea of dating the now-Prince of Wales.
Kate didn’t appear entirely on board with Carole Middleton’s wish for her to date William in ‘The Crown’ Season 6
The final installment of The Crown saw the introduction of Kate as she, along with William (Ed McVey), headed off to college at Scotland’s University of St. Andrew’s.
Before crossing paths on campus, however, varying scenes showed everything Kate’s mom, played by actor Eve Best, did to get her daughter there with William.

A new report claims that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are convinced a royal family vendetta is behind their failing professional careers. A source claims that alleged behind-the-scenes schemes reportedly caused the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to lose several big-name brand deals.

Express reports that Meghan Markle believes that she and Prince Harry are failing professionally due to a royal family vendetta. The site quotes a source who revealed the following information.
“There’s a general feeling that there has been a vendetta waged against them,” the source said to Express. “There have been talks held with high profile brands that didn’t lead to anything but should have done. Those brands then actively courted other members of the family.”

Early in the final season of The Other Two, Cary Dubek (Drew Tarver) shows up at the distant and dingy offices of a Brooklyn-based burrito review website ready to do some press for his straight-to-vod indie movie — only to discover what he’s actually been sent to is a mental health facility. “You are here because anyone desperate enough to say yes to that level of press, and then actually show up to do it, is deeply unwell,” the doctor gravely informs him.
But if Cary’s predicament is an obvious and hilarious exaggeration, the impulse underlying it might feel uncomfortably recognizable. Fame exerts its own gravitational pull, whether you’re chasing it, existing in it or simply feeling its tug from outside of it. It’s no surprise it’s been a favorite topic of Hollywood for as long as Hollywood has existed — sometimes as an aspirational fantasy, sometimes as a cautionary tale.

Apparently, over Christmas King Charles III will make his “good relationship” with Prince William “very clear.” An author expects the monarch to highlight he “at least has a good relationship with one son,” the 41-year-old Prince of Wales. Meanwhile, things between King Charles and Prince Harry reportedly haven’t changed much. Not since the Duke of Sussex, along with Meghan Markle, called to wish the king a happy birthday in November 2023.
The Wales family is going to be ‘very visible’ at Christmas as King Charles highlights his ‘good’ relationship with William
Christmas for the royal family, like many others, means getting together for a big meal and, of course, presents. However, for them, it also means navigating optics amid years of tension with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

[This story contains spoilers from the final season of The Crown.]
With the release of the last six episodes of The Crown on Netflix have come new questions about the fictionalized depiction of the British royal family.
In part two of the sixth and final season of the critically acclaimed historical drama, the stage is set for the future heirs to the throne as Prince Charles (Dominic West) and Camilla Parker Bowles (Olivia Williams) are granted permission to wed, and Prince William (Ed McVey) and Kate Middleton (Meg Bellamy) rekindle their relationship after a brief break.
“Those couples coming together felt like a beautiful end to our story,” executive producer Suzanne Mackie told The Hollywood Reporter in a previous interview. “That, in a way, peace is restored to the land.”
In staying true to his original vision of ending the series in 2005, writer and creator Peter Morgan had to also find a way to conclude the Queen’s story...

When they first stepped down as working royals and moved to the States, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were the most sought-after couple as just about everyone wanted to work with them. But times have changed.
Instead of the Sussexes focusing on new projects to advance their careers, they launched a vendetta against the family they left and painted themselves as perpetual victims. Now, instead of companies flocking to them with new deals, there doesn’t appear to be any offers in sight. And sources close to the pair say Meghan and Harry “blame” that on the royal family. Here’s more on that and what an expert says the duke and duchess need to do moving forward before it’s too late to recover.

The Crown Season 6 Part II is here. And with it, the recreation of Kate Middleton’s sheer dress from college. Worn in a 2002 charity fashion show, the now-Princess of Wales’s outfit is believed to have played a pivotal role in bringing her and Prince William together. Ahead, details on what happened to the dress Kate wore. Plus, what The Crown’s Meg Bellamy had to say about recreating Kate’s memorable look.
The sheer dress worn by Kate Middleton sold at auction in 2011
Where is the sheer dress Kate wore at St. Andrew’s University now? No one knows for sure. It sold at auction to a private buyer nine years after the now-41-year-old wore it down the runway (via CNN).
The dress sold for just over $125,000 — 10 times more than predicted — in March 2011, the month before the Prince and Princess of Wales’ royal wedding.

Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for “The Crown” Season 6, streaming on Netflix now.
The final episodes of “The Crown” have dropped and, as Netflix boss Ted Sarandos pointed out at the premiere of Season 5, that means Google searches will be going up, since many fans like to fact-check scenes from Peter Morgan’s royal drama while they watch.
“This is the story of Queen Elizabeth. This is the story of the royal family. Peter has told and dramatised these stories, some very memorable, some forgotten, judging by the Google activity that happens every time we drop a new season,” said Sarandos at the premiere last November.
Annie Sulzberger, who is head of research on the show, said that if fans spot discrepancies between real events and those on “The Crown,” those are intentional. “This is a drama, and dramatists have to look at history differently,” she told Variety. “These are not inaccuracies.

Forget Justin Timberlake or Nick Carter, in the late ’90s there was one heartthrob above all others who was guaranteed to make girls go wild: Prince William.
With his blossoming good looks, fancy title and tragic backstory, the British royal became the subject of teenage dreams across the globe. His face was plastered across magazines, hordes of screaming girls would gather outside anywhere he was scheduled to make an appearance, and, cementing his status as a pop culture icon, he even had an unwitting cameo in “Princess Diaries 2” when his photo flashed up on screen as a potential husband for Anne Hathaway’s character Mia.
The right royal hysteria that gripped the late ’90s and early 2000s is recreated in the sixth and final season of “The Crown” in an episode titled “Willsmania,” in which the bewildered teenager, still reeling from the loss of his mother Princess Diana, suddenly finds...

The fifth episode of “The Crown’s” final season — and the first entry in the short-awaited Part 2 — is titled “Willsmania” — an awkward, silly name from which the gloomy series derives zero pleasure. How could it? After all, Prince William is still mourning the loss of his mother, Diana (Elizabeth Debicki), even as the English people shift their collective grief for the Princess of Wales into an outpouring of affection for her eldest son. “Affection” may be a bit misleading. Young women and girls scream at the sight of him, gathered behind police barricades, begging for an autograph, photo, or a passing touch. They’re fanatical, and the teen who would be king handles it as best he can, before escaping to the semi-private University of St. Andrews.
“The Crown,” however, rarely shakes its own case of Willsmania. The final season feels more like a set-up for “Will: The College Years...

An unexpected thing happens in the series finale of The Crown, which Netflix released today: Queen Elizabeth is the main character.
This would seem to be the most predictable thing in the world, right? The Crown began with Elizabeth’s unexpected ascension to the British throne at the age of 25, and it concludes a little over 50 years later. First Claire Foy, then Olivia Colman, and most recently Imelda Staunton have been playing the protagonist, haven’t they?

“The Crown doesn’t ask existential questions of itself,” Queen Elizabeth II (Imelda Staunton) is told when she contemplates modernizing the British monarchy during a time of particularly frigid public opinion. “It suggests a loss of confidence. It’s putting blood in the water.” But if the Crown won’t pose those inquiries, Peter Morgan’s The Crown often has.
Since 2016, the Netflix drama has probed the British royal family from an array of angles, and in doing so asked us to consider what the monarchy is worth, what the monarchy is for, what the monarchy has cost the people at its center and the people around them and the nation they purport to serve — all conversations that feel, if anything, even more relevant in 2023. In its final six episodes, however, The Crown proves less interested in interrogating the status quo than admiring it. It surely makes for a sweeter finish.

Most stories that begin with “saw something on Twitter” don’t end well.
But for Meg Bellamy, the actress who’ll make her debut playing Kate Middleton on Netflix’s “The Crown” December 14, a social media post about an open call audition became a life-changing experience.
“I was a big fan of the show at the time,” the newbie actress, who didn’t even have an agent when she saw the post, told IndieWire. “I just thought, ‘Nothing to lose! I’m going to apply!’ And as soon as I applied, my neighbor actually texted me and said, ‘You should apply for this.'”
One might assume that if random neighbors are telling you to throw your hat in the ring, Bellamy’s resemblance to the future Princess of Wales was often remarked upon, but she says it was never mentioned to her. The parallels only became obvious when the...

Actor Dominic West turned down an opportunity to work alongside his son, Senan West, for the second time on The Crown. The 54-year-old, who reprised his role as Prince Charles in the sixth and final season of the Netflix series about the late Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, stopped his son from doing the same. Why? Because of the scene where Charles tells 15-year-old Prince William that Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) died.
West forbade Senan from portraying William in ‘The Crown’ Season 6 because he didn’t want to tell ‘a boy his mother has died’
A heartbreaking scene in The Crown Season 6 involves West, as the now-King Charles III, telling his sons, the Prince of Wales and Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, that their mother, Princess Diana, played by Debicki, died in a 1997 car accident in Paris, France.

“The Crown” series finale premiere in London on Tuesday evening brought out the cast and creatives behind the hit Netflix show as well as a smattering of other familiar faces keen to catch a sneak peek of the last-ever episode.
Imelda Staunton, who plays the last iteration of Queen Elizabeth II in the fifth and sixth seasons of the series, led the red carpet. Despite the chaos around her — from reporters clamoring to ask questions to photographers shouting her name — the star told Variety her focus had always been on the character.
“I don’t look at maelstrom,” she said. “It doesn’t interest me. I just look at the script, look at the part, go to work.”
Newcomer Meg Bellamy, who joined the series as a college-age Kate Middleton for Season 6, was more emotional about getting the part, which also happened to be her first ever professional acting job.

One of the photos is of Kate’s famous see-through dress, which marks the moment she first caught William’s eye when he was in the audience at her 2002 University of St. Andrews charity fashion show.
The first half of the final season consisted of four episodes (which are now streaming) and focused on Diana’s final months, including her overlooked relationship with Dodi Fayed (played by Khalid Abdalla) and their last moments together...

Almost seven years to the day since it began, we’re about to give a royal wave of farewell to Netflix drama The Crown, but series six might be its most eye-opening yet, as its first part (out on November 16) deals with the events surrounding the tragic death of Princess Diana.
Some critics’ hackles might be up already after the show previously attracted condemnation for historical inaccuracies, so it will be especially interesting to see how the show covers such an emotive and important event in royal history, and just where the story ends when the final episodes are released on 14th December.

Kate Middleton’s evolving style, which has been defined by pantsuits in 2023, is related to the release of The Crown Season 6. As the Netflix original series comes to an end, the young Princess of Wales joins the storyline. In the face of what she fears is an unflattering depiction, Kate’s reportedly trying to get “ahead” of the hit her image may take with a “more relatable” style.

Everything changed for the royal family when Queen Elizabeth II died in September 2022, including Kate’s personal style. In the wake of the queen’s death, the mother of three adopted a more serious wardrobe reflecting her new position.
Since then, Kate has opened up and relaxed, both emotionally and sartorially. She’s shared personal anecdotes during public appearances, from her love of cold swims to arguing with Prince William about cooking dinner,...
