The final season of The Crown is almost upon us, and Netflix has a little royal snack for you.

A first look at Prince William and Kate Middleton has been dropped by the streaming service, played by actors Ed McVey and Meg Bellamy.

In case you're not hooked on the royal narrative beyond Peter Morgan's Netflix series, William and Kate met on campus at the University of St Andrew's in Scotland in 2001. As The Crown Season 5 ended in the late '90s, the sixth and final season will move the monarchy into the new millennium, which will include Kate and William's meeting and early relationship.

Unfortunately, seeing where Season 5 left off, The Crown is likely to also cover the tragic death of Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki), Prince William's mother, in 1997.

The Crown is now streaming on Netflix.
