The actors who play the Prince and Princess of Wales as university students in The Crown have been spotted filming together in St Andrews.

Ed McVey and Meg Bellamy were being filmed as William and Kate in the Fife seaside town on Friday.

Bellamy was dressed in clothes that would not have been out of place in the early 2000s – when the couple attended the university – including bootcut jeans with a pleated leather belt, and high-heeled suede boots.

She was carrying a book entitled First Steps In Academic Writing.

The new series of the Netflix drama will feature William’s time at the university, where in 2001 he met Kate Middleton, who he would marry a decade later in Westminster Abbey.

Other stars who have been spotted in St Andrews include Dominic West, who is playing William’s father Charles.

Brian Cox has claimed that Meghan Markle “knew what she was getting into” when she married into the royal family, and reiterated his call for the monarchy to be abolished.

The actor, 76, who stars as media mogul Logan Roy in HBO’s hit drama Succession, apparently criticised the Duchess of Sussex for entering the family with the assumption that she and Harry could “cut themselves off” from the Firm.

Prince Andrew is reported to have been approached by two American broadcasters with offers to take part in a new, tell-all interview in the United Kingdom.

According to a new report, the disgraced Duke of York is considering “telling his side” in the hope of a chance of redemption, more than three years after his interview with Emily Maitlis about his ties to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein was broadcast on the BBC’s Newsnight.

Maanya Sachdeva has the story:

The Prince and Princess of Wales have celebrated St Patrick’s Day alongside the Irish Guards, with Kate hailing their “boundless, irreverent, glorious sense of humour”.

William, who said he was “incredibly sad” to be marking the end of his time as colonel of the regiment, was joined by Kate who officially became Colonel on Friday.

The couple were attending the St Patrick’s Day Parade at Mons Barracks in Aldershot, Hampshire.

The Prince and Princess of Wales will celebrate St Patrick’s Day with the Irish Guards later on Friday (17 March).

Prince William, outgoing Colonel of the Irish Guards, will be joined by his wife Kate Middleton, incoming Colonel, at the St Patrick’s Day Parade in Aldershot.

Prince William has said that his mother, Princess Diana, would have been disappointed at the lack of progress in preventing homelessness.

Appearing in a video for this year’s Red Nose Day charity appeal, William visited people supported by the homelessness charity Groundswell, which is funded by Comic Relief.

In the video, which will be shown on BBC One on Friday (17 March) for the annual telethon, the Prince of Wales met people who had been helped by the charity.

Sarah Ferguson has recalled the time she was allegedly arrested with Princess Diana at Ferguson’s bachelorette party before her wedding to Prince Andrew in 1986.

On Tuesday, the Duchess of York appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show following the release of her new novel, A Most Intriguing Lady, which debuted on 4 March. While speaking to host Kelly Clarkson, the 63-year-old revealed that she was once arrested with Princess Diana during a night out.

Meredith Clark has the full story:

Tom Bower, author of Rebel Prince: The Making of a Monarch and Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors, has claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “weren’t invited” to Sir Elton John’s annual Oscars party this year.

The royal commentator suggested during an appearance on GB News this week that the couple’s absence from the party suggested they were “nobodies in Hollywood”, amid speculation over whether or not they will attend King Charles III’s coronation this spring.

However, it is not known if the couple declined an invitation or were taken off the guest list.

Sir Elton John and Prince Harry are close friends. The superstar performed at the duke’s wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018 in Windsor.

He was also close friends with Harry’s mother, the late Diana, and performed his song “Candle in the Wind” at her funeral in September 1997.
