According to Netflix, the images portray the time in history when William met Kate at St. Andrews University in Scotland in the early 2000s.

Netflix also shared a behind-the-scenes photo of McVey and Bellamy posing for a photograph in front of Northpoint Café at St. Andrews where William met Kate for coffee.

The upcoming season will be released later this year. Imelda Staunton will return to portray Queen Elizabeth II, Dominic West will reprise his role as Prince Charles and Elizabeth Debicki will be back to play Princess Diana.
