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 couple married in 2011 and  they have three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
