The sixth series of The Crown has started filming in St Andrews, where the Prince of Wales met his now wife, Kate Middleton.

The new Netflix series of the show will feature William’s time at the university where he met the Princess of Wales in 2001.

Actor Ed McVey, 21, who will play the prince throughout his late teens and early 20s, was seen filming scenes for the show in the Fife town.

Meg Bellamy, 19, who is playing Kate in the show, has also been seen filming scenes around St Andrews.

William and Kate became friends during their time at university, and began a relationship after she caught the 19-year-old Prince’s attention when she strode down the catwalk in a sheer dress for a charity fashion show.

The pair graduated in 2005 and briefly split up in 2007, but William went on to propose in November of 2010, with the couple marrying the following year.

They have since had three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

In the series, Elizabeth Debicki and Dominic West will reprise their roles as Diana, Princess of Wales and the then-Prince Charles, with Imelda Staunton continuing as Queen Elizabeth II and Jonathan Pryce as the late Duke of Edinburgh.

The last season of the show focused on the marriage breakdown of Charles and Diana and the leaked phone calls between Charles and Camilla.
