Kate Middleton and Prince William are coming to Netflix!

After an exhaustive casting process, beloved TV series The Crown has revealed the two actors chosen to portray William as he goes from teenager to young adult in the show's sixth season. 

Teenager Rufus Kampa assumes the role of the Duke of Cambridge aged 15, while Ed McVey will portray the Prince's later teen and early adult years.

The hit royal drama has also roped in Meg Bellamy to play the Duchess of Cambridge.

All three young actors will count The Crown as their first professional television appearance.

Although The Crown's creators have said they have no plans to catch up to modern times, it's speculated that the show will depict the beginning of Prince William and Kate's romance during their time together at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.

 

The show will also cover how the British royal family coped with the tragic death of William's mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, who died in August 1997.

Though season 5 was initially intended to be the series' curtain call, creators changed their minds and promised that the historical drama will continue to rule Netflix queues for a sixth and final season.
