The saga of The Crown and the dramatized reign of Queen Elizabeth II is coming to an end with the second half of Season 6, and the show has never been closer to catching up to present day. Gone are the days of Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher and King George VI; viewers will see the Netflix drama's take on Prince William and Kate Middleton's early days of courtship. That includes an iconic sheer dress, and it's worth digging into how it captured the attention of the future king.
Meg Bellamy joined the cast of The Crown to play Kate Middleton opposite Ed McVey as Prince William, and the story of William and Kate will include an infamous encounter from 2002, when both were students at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. While the series that ranks as one of the best shows to binge-watch on Netflix will presumably take some liberties with the true story, Today reports that Middleton's outfit during a student fashion show is said to have caught the prince's attention in real life.
