The first photos from The Crown Season 6 Part 2 have officially dropped, treating fans of the Netflix drama to an exciting preview of what's to come in its final episodes.
After ending with scenes of Diana, Princess of Wales's funeral in Part 1, the second instalment will explore the British monarchy's transition into the 21st century as it reels from the sudden death of the iconic royal. Perhaps the most anticipated storyline of The Crown's upcoming episodes will be the Prince and Princess of Wales' fairytale romance, which dates back to their studies at St. Andrew's University in 2001.
Part 2 will see newcomers Meg Bellamy and Ed McVey play the young Princess Catherine and Prince William, respectively, as they navigate their early courtship on the remote Scottish campus. In teaser photos of the series, 'Kate' can be seen wearing the iconic sheer black and blue dress she wore for a real-life charity fashion show in March 2002. It has been reported that William, who paid £200 for his front-row ticket to the fundraiser, first expressed his interest in the art history student after noticing her rock the catwalk.

The photo appears to be a recreation of one taken of the boys with their father in Canada in March 1998, less than a year after the death of Princess Diana.

As head of the Church of England, the Queen did not attend the ceremony of her eldest son's second nuptials due to the institution's opposition to divorce. She did, however, join a blessing service for the newlyweds after they'd exchanged vows and was also present for the private reception at Windsor Castle.
