At the center of this development is Meg Bellamy, the 21-year-old Berkshire-based actress renowned for her role as Princess Kate in the fictional drama. Despite limited formal acting experience, Bellamy’s star is on the rise, marked by her recent collaboration with Dior and other major fashion brands such as Valentino and Cartier, coupled with previous work with esteemed labels like Prada and Gucci.
According to an insider from Netflix, “They have been queuing up for Meg; she is playing the most famous woman in the world in a globally famous television drama, so many labels and brands want some of that.”
