THE actor who plays the Prince William during his university years in Netflix show The Crown was seen jogging in St Andrews as filming for the next series continues in the town.
Ed McVey was spotted wearing tracksuit bottoms and a hoodie with the University of St Andrews logo on it while being filmed running at the town’s East Scores.
The 21-year-old was also seen having a bite to eat amongst the camera crew at St Andrews harbour during a break in filming on Thursday.
The new series of the drama is set to feature William’s time at the university, where in 2001 he met Kate Middleton, who he would marry a decade later in Westminster Abbey.
Sightings of Dominic West, 53, who is playing William’s father Charles, and Meg Bellamy, 19, who is playing the Princess of Wales, have previously been reported in the town.
West and McVey have also been spotted together with scores of extras holding Union flags and Saltires in front of the Fife town’s historic St Salvator’s Chapel.
William and Kate became friends during their time at university.
The pair graduated from the university, which is Scotland’s oldest, in 2005 and briefly split in 2007.
But William went on to propose in November 2010 and the couple married the following year.
In the series, Elizabeth Debicki will reprise her role as William’s mother Diana, with Imelda Staunton continuing as the Queen and Jonathan Pryce as the Duke of Edinburgh.
The last series chronicled the divorce of Charles and Diana.
It was due to end after the fifth series, but the show’s creator and writer Peter Morgan later said it would be extended to a sixth.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
