The Crown rewrites history with 'fake' scene between Kate Middleton and Diana
The final episodes of Netflix's The Crown have conjured a scene between Catherine, Princess of Wales and the late Princess Diana.
In the second half of season 6 of the hit Netflix series depicting the life of the British royal family there is a scene where Princess Diana meets her future daughter-in-law Kate Middleton and the pair have a face to face conversation. Pictured in the opening moments of episode seven, Kate and Diana are pictured speaking despite Kate confessing in real life that she never had the chance to meet her future husband's mother before her death in 1997.
The scene comes as the second half of the sixth and final season of the royal drama landed on Netflix today (Thursday 14 December), which will show the death of Diana and the impact on the royal family including Prince William and Prince Harry, who were 15 and 12 respectively when their mother died in Paris.
Actress Meg Bellamy, who plays Kate Middleton in the sixth season of The Crown, called the fake scenes 'part of the characterisation' (Getty Images for Netflix)Actress Meg Bellamy, who plays Kate Middleton as she meets Prince William at St Andrew's University, told the Metro: "I kind of see it all as the drama because it’s all the script. Especially because there’s no footage of Kate and no necessarily historical events that we recreate. It’s all, for me, written for the drama." The actress, who saw the role being advertised on Twitter before she auditioned for the part, added that the inclusion of fake scenes is part of the "characterisation" as she played the future Princess of Wales.
The sixth season of The Crown sees Queen Elizabeth II as she reaches her Golden Jubilee and reflects on the future of the monarchy with the marriage of Charles and Camilla and the beginnings of a new Royal fairytale in William and Kate. The much anticipated final season also sees the return of a stellar cast with Imelda Staunton as the Queen, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret, Dominic West as Prince Charles and Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana. Joining the cast this season as the younger royals during their teenage years are Rufus Kampa as Prince William and Fflyn Edwards as Prince Harry.

The second half and final episodes of the royal drama show the royal family, including the two young Princes, as their reel from the news of the death and attempt to rebuild their lives after.
