Since it first arrived on Netflix in November 2016, The Crown has catapulted several talented British actors into superstar status. Creator Peter Morgan's epic series about the history of the British royal family and Queen Elizabeth II's reign is currently on its third cast of actors as the series continues into its final season, having previously tapped rising stars including Claire Foy, Vanessa Kirby, Josh O'Connor, and Emma Corrin, turning them into household names. Even though season 6 officially begun on November 16—depicting the tragic death of Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) in lurid emotional (rather than physical) detail—the award-winning series still has a couple more stars to introduce to the world.
The second part of season 6, which will drop on the platform with six new episodes on December 14, will depict the (fictionalized) love story of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, with newcomers Ed McVey and Meg Bellamy stepping into the roles respectively. To portray the future Princess of Wales during her university days in Scotland, the series tapped 20-year-old Bellamy, who was a completely unknown actor when she won the role.
