The sixth and final season of Netflix’s The Crown will premiere next month, welcoming a fleet of fresh-faced stars making their professional screen debut as members of the royal family.
Ed McVey, who plays Prince William alongside Meg Bellamy as Kate Middleton, is easily one of the most-anticipated new characters to arrive on the scene. The acting duo will portray the Prince and Princess of Wales in the earliest days of their love story at St. Andrews university.
Channelling his regal counterpart at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards on Tuesday night, 23-year-old Ed hit the red carpet in the sharpest tailoring.
The Drama Centre London alumni stepped into autumnal tones in a relaxed fit, olive-hued trouser suit.
Complete with an all-over textured finish, wide-leg trousers and dramatic lapels on the jacket, Ed added a contemporary finish to his eveningwear by layering with a scoop-neck vest.
