In the final season, the Netflix show will portray the couple's relationship and how they first met at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland in 2001.

In its description of the new season Netflix says Prince William is entering the university "where he hopes to lead as normal a life as possible before taking up his royal responsibilities."

"Little does he know that the future for the crown begins right on campus, when he meets fellow student from Berkshire Kate Middleton."

The Crown season 6 will mark the on-screen debut of both McVey, 23, and Bellamy, 19. Bellamy landed the role after seeing the casting call on social media.
