I&#8217;ve never thought about that. She is an actress, I feel like only she could do it justice, really.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The Crown&#8217; focused on the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and the show ran from 2016 until 2023. <\/p>\n<p>The sixth and final season of the drama series covered the period between 1997 and 2005, and Meg is convinced that it stopped at the perfect time.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actress &#8211; who played Catherine, Princess of Wales on the hit drama series &#8211; said: &#8220;I think it stopped at a very good point, while it&#8217;s still a historical drama, rather than, in Peter Morgan&#8217;s words, a more journalistic approach. I think it stopped at a good time.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I just think it stopped at a good time, who knows? I&#8217;m not a writer &#8211; not yet anyway.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMeg relished playing the princess on &#8216;The Crown&#8217; and she still has fond memories of filming at the University of St Andrews, where the 43-year-old princess studied.<\/p>\n<p>\nMeg said: &#8220;We filmed around the university there and that was really, really special, because that&#8217;s where Kate and William went to university, so it was very cool to be there. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We were on the campus, there were a lot of students and we were invading their space and privacy. They were very gracious.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/royal_family\/meg-bellamy-wants-duchess-sussex-play-crown-1412293.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17 January 2025 Meg Bellamy would love to see Meghan, Duchess of Sussex play herself on &#8216;The Crown&#8217;.
