[@bartproost1977]

She portrayed Catherine beautifully in the crown. I am glad they did Kate & Wills honor and showed their love story.

[@subhamagarwal3973]

Haha but Peter Morgan basically showed a middle finger to Harry

[@steecie3045]

I hated the way Kate's mother was portrayed as the gold digging mother-in-law, scheming their way into the royal family.

[@andyb4044]

@@steecie3045 that's what happened though

[@steecie3045]

@@andyb4044 Momma Middleton was pushing the entire Royal marriage? N o way would the palace have put up with such nonsense and welcomed the Middletons in the way they did.

[@raynuh138]

Did they include the cheating?

[@dil2370]

Her love and admiration for the Princess of Wales is so sweet to see. It must have been a surreal experience playing the part of Catherine.

[@Angel-ts8rc]

It would’ve been great if they had highlighted one of Kate’s iconic coat dresses or pant suits! Those are quintessential Kate!

[@thebonniewong]

I so wish they did some of her coat dresses for her Royal apperances! She always look so elegant in those. Also some modern casual wear would have been cool too, the ones where she wears wellies to watch Prince William play polo I just love it.

[@mse312]

Nice to hear how knowledgeable and respectful she is of the Princess of Wales! She really studied well for her character

[@Liz86000]

I think it's so cute the way she smiles when she discovers Kate in her wedding dress. It shows haw happy she is for her, very sweet.

[@shortylucy]

Love it when actors do actual research when they play someone who is/was real. Spot on!

[@user-tm3py4ym4x]

I always wanted someone to go through the looks of the Princess of Wales over the years and I am so happy that Meg Bellamy was chosen to do this. Her role as the young princess in The Crown was just amazing and I do hope that she gets more spotlight in Hollywood and acts in more films.

[@lokmansahat6220]

Love her beauty and the way she talk. Like a soft spoken person. Hopefully she will be become a top actress one day.

[@roserozainah7630]

Bond girl perhaps one day.... 😊😅

[@tahuaroa]

I love her little stories… esp living nearby with the band rehearsing at 4am, watching on the staircase wedding of Kate & Wills… this was pure joy to watch

[@anneblakely]

I was in high school in California when the royal wedding happened and I stayed up all night to watch it and had to skip school the next day. It’s one of my favorite memories ❤

[@ST-wo3uw]

Well done, Meg! 🎉 Such a lovely, respectful tribute to the stunning Princess of Wales! 💕

[@imogen5141]

She is so elegant, perfect casting.

[@bmags2312]

She got Kate's voice and the general aura of the Princess of Wales :)

[@selrox879]

So true omg ❤

[@violetab3750]

My favourite part of The Crown was about William and Kate, especially the fashion show! Meg looks like Princess Catherine, and she did great job portraying her. Both are very beautiful.

[@lauren9004]

She looked so beautiful in the golden dress at the World Premiere!

[@lourdesgreen2213]

Wonderful job of portraying Catherine.

[@MargotSergentOfficial]

… how style can be an authentic expression of yourself. Wonderfully said.

[@citrusfirefly]

Meg Bellamy portrays Princess Kate perfectly in 'The Crown.'

[@hasekihurremsultan1559]

My Fashions favorites of Princess Kate of Wales are: 1. Engagement (2010) 2. The Royal Wedding (2011) 3. Buckingham Palace (2022) 4. Coronation Day (2023)

[@olivedahli6669]

I never realized how much Kate's style has changed over the years.

[@izzy4575]

Catherine, the princess of Wales, is a true fashion icon. She dresses for history books and her fashion is timeless. Catherine is a trendsetter too, she made it cool to rent a dress, to rewear a dress, to wear a dress that fits you, she proved that impeccable tailoring and ironing is more important than wearing something expensive that doesn’t fit you.

[@annaw27]

The Princess of Wales is HRH.

[@1962pjh]

Such a lovely young lady. Dior was brilliant to choose her to represent their company. She is very beautiful as well.

[@justinbrovenick3023]

what a lovely young women. perfect casting.

[@christophersmith4962]

Well done, you played the princess beautifully 👏👏

[@KateK1111]

That gold dress is so beautiful

[@krisxxxxw]

Princess of Wales, epitome of class and beauty ❤

[@melissa-wilson]

What a beautiful tribute to the 👑 Princess of Wales! Princess Catherine is a few years older than I am and I love her fashion, so I stan her a bit. Who doesn't? Well done, Meg!

[@amberhowell1180]

I love Kate Middleton so much ❤️

[@pfksrb]

I've been waiting for a lifetime for a catherine, princess of wales. I hope she can one day do a "get ready with me" and a "what's in My bag." Fingers cross. But I love meg Bellamy already and hope that she too can do one of herself! So glad dior picked her up, she's new on the scene but already going to be an icon of her own.

[@TheCrazy99s]

She won’t. She doesn’t have the personality.

[@pfksrb]

@TheCrazy99s it's weird how people interpret personality as acting stupid and crazy. People forget what a classy personality actually looks like. But hey, you won't know what you will never be.

[@katelijnesommen]

​@@TheCrazy99sI think she has plenty of personality, but it's true that she'll never do anything like this. It just doesn't fit with her role.

[@clt2744]

She has a lovely aura abt her n portrays Kate Middleton so realistically in The Crown

[@asniartirtarani6427]

meg is very well spoken. very lovely

[@sophierosebisou8420]

Given how so many celebrities now show up on the red carpets wearing super see through garments, Princess Catherine was ahead of the trend! Congratulations to the actress portraying a Princess landing a Dior contract...beating out an actress portraying a duchess.

[@alycemlg]

Diana was a trendsetter, however, with Kate her sense of style is typical up-class ho-hum!

[@Randomlycreatedbyme]

@@alycemlgand here’s the typical bitter woman, who always has a negative opinion of more successful and more attractive women and how they should act to avoid her moralizing judgment.

[@luxurytravel759]

@@alycemlg If classy, elegant and beautiful and elevated is called “up-class ho-hum” then then I’m all for it! Only few and exceptional classical beauties like Catherine, the Princess of Wales can pull it off. It’s not for average joes for sure.

[@lourdesgreen2213]

​@@luxurytravel759Agree, Catherine is a classic Beauty and looks great in everything she wears!!

[@MsLulumaria]

the Iconic looks of Catherine The Princess of Wales.... there you go, I fixed for ya :) Other than that, what a lovely girl! She seems to have studied the PoW and respects her.

[@lynncrf]

Catherine has always been pretty, but it's sad that she lost so much weight after she got engaged when she was already slim. Terrible how even beautiful slim women feel the need to lose weight. And there is no way it wasn't intentional as nobody naturally loses weight at that stage of life.

[@Katniss1975]

She didn't lose any weight. She is the same size that she's been since Uni. If she had lost weight she wouldn't have those toned legs and arms. It's a combo of genes and her active lifestyle and healthy earing choices that give her that gorgeous frame.

[@angiep1312]

You must be thinking of someone else.. not Catherine the Princess of Wales. 😅😅

[@lynncrf]

​@@Katniss1975She definitely did. Look at photos and videos of her pre engagement and then afterwards. One can absolutely lose weight while keeping toned legs and arms. It's just incredibly sad that someone as stunning and slim as Catherine felt the need to lose weight.

[@user-ji2pr4gv6f]

You did not the memo??? P.Catherine instead of "Kate??.😮

[@jenniferpalmer5130]

She did a lovely job with playing Princess Kate. However, ii was annoyed at that the fact that she kept saying country bumpkin. Its actually a insult to the intelligence of farmers

[@oliviatobin9793]

[@Diona658]

I thought her title was now , Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales ?

[@annaw27]

it is

[@mako3197]

I wouldn't describe the polo/country club aesthetic as "country bumpkin" at all.

[@mutintam3986]

It is actually called a sloane ranger look

[@marcellooo69]

There's no such thing as Kate Middleton, she's the Princess of Wales or, if you have to be common, it's Catherene Middleton

[@erinjohnson1124]

True, I just think that because this actress played her at the time period of her life when she was known as Kate, it’s probably more comfortable for her to say Kate.

[@GreatGranger]

Hearing just "Diana" is weird so used to hear "Princess Diana"

[@annaw27]

oh get over it

[@isabellevancamp2806]

What about a video with Diane Keaton ??? I would love to see that 😍

[@denisefromdc1796]

Women only wear tiaras after being married and for their own weddings.

[@gunita83]

She is not Kate Middl on, but Princess Catherine of Wales. At least say it once.

[@dianarusnov292]

It's actually Catherine, Princess of Wales. She can't be called Princess Catherine because only a blood-born royal can. If you want to get specific.

[@dianarusnov292]

@@GooseyGirl516 Princess Diana was called that because the public did so. It's actually incorrect though.

[@iankirkpatrick1875]

Ffs, stop calling her Kate Middleton, she hasn’t been called that for 12 years, Catherine Princess of Wales , ffs

[@Angel-ts8rc]

This is done bc of something called seo! It's what people search for, not a slight or a dig by the media. She's been known for so long as Kate Middleton that it’s the name that people associate with her most. Far more people would also rather type “Kate” and then click on “Kate Middleton” which pops up as soon as you type Kate, then search her full name or title.

[@katiemp670]

made up title for a group of human beings just like us. that's still her name.

[@VictorianTimes]

She‘s married since 2011 and you still call her Kate Middleton..Tell me why.

[@olivedahli6669]

We Americans don't recognize titles. So we wouldn't know who the PRincess of Wales is but we know who Kate Middleton is.

[@kiksmika]

I don’t recall you called Diana by her maiden nane Diana Spencer?

[@adventuresconjuan]

Can’t Catherine just do it herself?? I do they why you have another person doing it for her ?
