She embodies one of the most anticipated characters of the final and sixth season of
The Crown
: Kate Middleton in her younger years.
Still unknown a few months ago, Meg Bellamy is currently filming at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, the very place where the love story between the Prince and Princess of Wales began.
The first pictures, unveiled this Thursday, March 16, highlight the resemblance of the British actress with the wife of Prince William.
In the first images, Meg Bellamy – alongside actor Ed McVey who plays William – wears a matching khaki jacket and skirt, as well as brown leather boots.
An outfit inspired by those worn by Kate Middleton during her student years.

A first on-screen role
It was on Instagram, on September 2, that Meg Bellamy spoke for the first time after the announcement of her presence in the cast of season 6 of
The Crown
.
"
It's such an honor to join the most amazing team, and I'm going to do my best to do Kate justice!"
“,
she wrote then.
The young woman, originally from Berkshire and who many say bears a striking resemblance to Kate Middleton, was chosen after submitting self-recorded videos as part of a casting call organized via social media, according to The
Guardian
.
According to the British press, this will be the first role on the small screen of the young woman.
Still, Meg Bellamy is not a total novice: she studied theater at St Crispin's School (from which she has just graduated), in Wokingham, not far from the village where Kate Middleton grew up.
