Before Kate became the breakout star of one of television’s biggest new hits, Ella Bright was stepping into the shoes of a future queen.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old actress, who portrayed a young Catherine, Princess of Wales in season six of\u00a0The Crown<\/i>, is now enjoying a meteoric rise thanks to her leading role in Prime Video’s global sensation Off Campus.<\/p>\n
The college romance drama, based on the bestselling novels by Elle Kennedy, has quickly climbed to the top of streaming charts around the world since its release on 13 May.<\/p>\n
At the centre of the story is Hannah Wells, played by Bright, whose unexpected romance with hockey captain Garrett Graham has captured audiences worldwide.<\/p>\n
While many viewers are only just discovering the rising star, royal fans may already recognise her from\u00a0The Crown,<\/i>\u00a0where she appeared as a teenage Kate Middleton in a pivotal flashback episode.<\/p>\n
Bright appeared in the episode “Alma Mater,” which depicted the future Princess of Wales meeting Diana, Princess of Wales and a young Prince William during a chance encounter in London.<\/p>\n
The role later passed to Meg Bellamy, who portrayed Kate during her university years.<\/p>\n
At the time, Bright was just 16 years old and admitted that taking on such a well-known royal figure felt intimidating.<\/p>\n
Determined to get the role right, she got herself in interviews and worked closely with a dialect coach to perfect Kate’s distinctive accent.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the experience, the actress described the role as a “daunting task” but said mastering the future princess’s polished speaking style was one of the most enjoyable parts of filming.<\/p>\n
Following her appearance in the series, Bright shared her excitement on social media, posting a photograph of her dressing room door labelled “Young Kate Middleton” and describing the opportunity as a dream come true.<\/p>\n
Now her social media is surpassing three million, Ella Bright’s career is entering an exciting new chapter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
