Almost more exciting than whatever happens to the British royal family in real life is what happens in the Netflix series based on their lives, The Crown.

Curious to get to know the actors who will portray Kate Middleton and Prince William?

There will be a total of four young actors, who will play the roles of two characters as a teenager and as an adult. 

Deadline reported on September 2 that Rufus Kampa will take on the role of the younger prince, while Ed McVey will reprise his role several years later.

Meg Bellamy will star as young Kate around the age when she and William first met at the University of St. Andreas, where they studied art history. This is the first TV role for all three actors.

According to Deadline, Kampa will appear in episodes detailing the family's grief over the death of Princess Diana, who died in August 1997. 

The sixth season will begin filming later this year, with Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana, Dominic West as Prince Charles and Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth. The fifth season will premiere in November 2022.

Prince Harry has yet to be cast for season six.
