William and Kate’s first kiss is revealed in the new trailer for The Crown… along with another bit of ridiculous royal myth-making

A hug in a trailer for the latest installment of The Crown reveals it will focus on the love story between Kate Middleton and Prince William.

And it has emerged that writer Peter Morgan will create a fictional Sliding Doors-type backstory for the couple, in which the pair meet as young teenagers, accompanied by their mothers Princess Diana and Carole Middleton.

In the second part of the Netflix series’ sixth season, which begins on December 14, Mr. Morgan imagines a day in December 1996 when Kate and her mother leave a clothing store in London… and happen upon Princess. Diana, who is with William and is selling copies of The Big Issue for charity.

Mrs. Middleton and Kate run across the street to buy a copy and Kate and William look at each other. Cupid strikes! Diana asks Kate her name and tells her son, “Tell Kate thank you.”

This fabricated meeting causes Kate to fall in love with Prince William and causes Mrs. Middleton to ensure that her daughter receives the same education as the prince at St. Andrews University in Scotland.

Of course, Prince William and Kate, who married in April 2011, did indeed meet in St. Andrews.

And The Crown recreates the real-life moment when Kate appeared on the catwalk at a university fashion show in a see-through dress, which was a ‘lightning bolt’ moment for the prince.

In real life, by the time William met Kate, Princess Diana had already died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

But while Princess Diana never joined a young Prince William to sell The Big Issue, it is true that she campaigned on issues surrounding homelessness and was a strong supporter of the social enterprise that helps vulnerable people get back on their feet.

She regularly bought the magazine from salesman Frank McGucken and he recalled last year: ‘Lady Diana used to come to me alone to buy the paper.

‘I used to see her in Beauchamp Place on her way to the gym in Chelsea Harbour.

‘She had it all. But she respected the homeless. She always gave me a beautiful smile.”

It has emerged that writer Peter Morgan (pictured) will create a fictional Sliding Doors-type backstory for the couple, in which the pair meet as young teenagers, accompanied by their mothers, Princess Diana and Carole Middleton.

Last year, Prince William sold the magazine in London together with salesman Dave Martin.

The Prince of Wales has been a patron of Centrepoint, a youth homelessness charity, since 2005, and in 2009 he spent a night sleeping on the streets of London to raise awareness of the organisation’s work.

In a recent interview with Deadline Hollywood, The Crown director Christian Schwochow said the goal was “to create our truth, which is hopefully as truthful as you can get in fiction.”

The first part of what will be the show’s final series has already landed in controversy following scenes in which both the late Queen and Prince Charles meet Princess Diana after her death. However, Netflix has insisted that she is not a ghost.
