Meg Bellamy of ‘The Crown’ Was Nervous to Recreate Kate Middleton’s Iconic Charity Fashion Show Walk

Meg Bellamy as Kate Middleton.

Just as Elizabeth Debicki had her iconic Princess Diana outfit moments in part one of season six of Netflix’s The Crown, Meg Bellamy also had an iconic Kate Middleton outfit moment as she played the college-aged Kate in part two. In particular, the sheer number she wears for the lingerie fashion show scene is one to remember; in real life, the moment was reportedly a turning point in Kate’s relationship with then-friend Prince William, who she went on to date not long thereafter. (His reaction to seeing Kate in a sheer black Charlotte Todd skirt—which she turned into a dress to hit the runway for a charity fashion show? “Wow, Kate’s hot!”)

“It was so exciting to wear an iconic outfit that I was aware of,” Bellamy told E! News. “And preparing for the dress was really interesting, with the fittings, so many intricacies and different layers of mesh and ribbons.”
