NextImg:‘The Crown’ to recreate Kate’s catwalk seduction of William in sheer dress

Many of the royal family’s most pivotal moments have been recreated for “The Crown” over the last five seasons.

The sixth and final season is set to drop this fall on Netflix and one of the most significant turns of the modern age is when Prince William became smitten with now-wife Kate Middleton.

The royal drama will feature the evening when the Duke of Cambridge first saw Middleton, now both 41, in all her sheer glory.

The couple met while they were both studying at Scotland’s University of St. Andrews back in 2001.

However, it has long been noted that the exact instance where William fell head over heels for his duchess was on March 27, 2002 — when she walking in a fashion show rocking a see-through mini-dress.

The event will be shown on an episode of “The Crown,” with  Ed McVey, 22, portraying William and Meg Bellamy, 20, playing Middleton.

Netflix producers appeared at the Edinburgh TV Festival recently where they unveiled shots from the sixth season, according to the Sun.

They showcased photos from upcoming episodes for the audience, including the young actors staring lovingly at each other at the school’s library.

Another snap showed McVey and Bellamy in full 2000s-era attire seeing each other around on the university’s campus.

One photo that was revealed, saw actor Luther Ford — who is playing a teenage Prince Harry — almost hitting someone with a riffle.

The final season will take the royal family as they encounter trouble, tragedy and turmoil from 1997 until 2005.

Another moment that the series will show during the final season is the aftermath of Harry’s infamous Nazi costume scandal of 2005 when he wore the racist officer’s uniform to a party that also came complete with a swastika.

Perhaps the most critical storyline that will play a major part in the show, is the death of Princess Diana (played by Elizabeth Debicki).

The Princess of Wales perished in a Paris car crash on Aug. 31, 1997.

“The Crown” executive producer Suzanne Mackie revealed at the TV festival how they filmed the passing of Diana with “enormous sensitivity.”

“The show might be big and noisy, but we’re not,” said Mackie. “We’re thoughtful people and we’re sensitive people. There were very careful, long conversations about how we were going to do it.”

“The audience will judge it in the end, but I think it’s been delicately, thoughtfully recreated,” she added.

The showrunner went on: “Elizabeth Debicki is an extraordinary actress, and she was so thoughtful and considerate. She loved Diana. There’s a huge amount of respect from us all — I hope that’s evident.”
