Megan Kate Smith (born 9 October 2002),[1][2] known professionally as Meg Bellamy, is an English actress. She is known for her role as Catherine Middleton in the sixth season of The Crown (2023).

Early life

[edit]

Bellamy was born in Leeds, Yorkshire; her family moved to Wokingham, Berkshire, when she was five. Her mother enrolled her in local Stagecoach acting classes from a young age.[3] Bellamy attended St Crispin's School, where she served as head girl[4][5] and took part in the performing arts,[6][7] including productions of Grease and Matilda.[8]

Career

[edit]

In September 2022, it was announced Bellamy would make her professional acting debut portraying a young Catherine Middleton opposite Ed McVey as Prince William in the sixth and final season of the Netflix biographical series The Crown.[9] Bellamy discovered the casting call through social media,[10] auditioned shortly after completing her A Levels,[11] and learned she had been cast while working as a mascot at Legoland.[12][13] First look images of Bellamy and McVey in costume were revealed in March 2023,[14] and the season was released later that year in November.[15]

In 2024, Bellamy made her professional stage debut as Jean Purdy in A Child of Science, a play about the creation of IVF, at the Bristol Old Vic with Tom Felton and Adelle Leonce.[16][17]
