The story was that William and Kate were generally in the same circle of friends, then things changed when a scantily-clad Kate walked a runway at a student fashion show.  By their third year, they were living together with some other friends.  Reportedly, they had some breakups even during those university years too, and William openly cheated on her.  No one expects Netflix\u2019s The Crown to tell that version of the story, but according to the actor playing William, their romance will not be some big fairytale.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The Crown will portray the Prince and Princess of Wales\u2019s early relationship as \u201cstagnated and weird\u201d, the actor playing William has revealed.  Ed McVey, 24, said he wanted to avoid depicting the beginning stages of the Royal couple\u2019s romance on the hit Netflix show as \u201csmooth sailing\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cWe didn\u2019t want to make it a smooth journey, meeting and falling in love and then getting together. We wanted it to be stagnated and weird, as relationships are, because there\u2019s never smooth sailing, nothing is ever one thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that they get together in the end and we know that they\u2019re perfect for each other, and we know how much they love each other \u2026 but we wanted to put as much in the way of that as possible,\u201d he explained. \u201cPut so many bollards and so many emotional brick walls, essentially, in terms of them getting together. And really what we wanted is for the audience to be like, how are they going to get together? We want the audience to be like, \u2018oh just say the right thing or just stop being so awkward with each other and just get together\u2019 and then luckily you see that in the end,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Meg Bellamy said she faced challenges depicting a young Kate as there was \u201cno footage\u201d of her talking or walking in the university years era that she portrays her.  The actress said that she tried to pitch her voice higher, for example, to \u201cremove the royal protocol side of it\u201d, adding: \u201cI tried to make that more youthful, more like myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>[From The Telegraph]<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cPut so many bollards and so many emotional brick walls\u201d<\/em> &#8211; they\u2019ve turned it into a romantic comedy?  Interesting.  I mean, there\u2019s part of me that\u2019s happy that The Crown isn\u2019t rewriting the narrative to make it sound like it was love at first sight.  Kate really had to work hard to get his attention, she and her mother put so much time, energy, money and effort into baiting the honey trap, only for William to not take the bait for a while.  Once Kate got him, she wasn\u2019t letting him go, no matter how he treated her.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.celebitchy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TheCrown10_PartTwo_Images_2-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.celebitchy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TheCrown39_PartTwo_FirstLoo-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.celebitchy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TheCrown16_PartTwo_Images_4-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><small>Photos courtesy of Netflix.<\/small><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.celebitchy.com\/847913\/ed_mcvey_the_crown_portrays_will_kates_relationship_as_stagnated_weird\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What little we know of Prince William and then-Kate Middleton\u2019s courtship is that Kate was desperate to throw herself into his path for much of her teens, and then she made sure to hang around William\u2019s group of friends while they were at St. Andrews.
