NEW – The Crown Royal Castles tour of Scotland
On this tour you get a chance to visit a filming location of smash hit TV series The Crown , plus two Royal Castles , where the Queen and the Queen Mother lived .
The Crown has filmed season six in St Andrews , Scotland, as the show recreates Prince William and Kate Middleton’s university days.
The Prince of Wales met his future wife while they were both studying at St Andrews University in 2001 and living in the same halls, with the couple beginning dating two years later.
The relationship features in the sixth and final season of Netflix’s historical drama, which sees the show inch ever-closer to the present day.
On Friday (15 March 2023 ), the cast of The Crown were in St Andrew’s, with Ed McVey stepping into the role of the university-age William.
The pair were on set in the Fife town’s North Street, with scores of extras holding Union flags and Saltires in front of the historic St Salvator’s Chapel.
Crews were seen filming cars, carrying the 2 princes , along the street and also the pair taking part in a royal walkabout.
William and Kate became friends during their time at university and began a relationship after she caught the 19-year-old prince’s attention when she strode down the catwalk in a sheer dress for a charity fashion show. The pair graduated from the university, which is Scotland’s oldest, in 2005 and briefly split in 2007.
The couple married in 2011 and they have three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
As The Crown returns for its sixth and final season, Elizabeth Debicki will return as Diana, Princess of Wales, with Imelda Staunton continuing as Queen Elizabeth II and Jonathan Pryce as the Duke of Edinburgh.
