Bustle Booth

The newcomer portrays the princess inThe Crown.

All went well until she stepped outside to take out her trash bins and heard a snap.

I actually broke the bottom of the heel.

Selfies from Meg Bellamy, the actor who plays Kate Middleton in ‘The Crown.'

There was a screw poking out, Bellamy tells Bustle.

The pair, shed learned from the costume department, wasnt made for outside.

Luckily, it was a quick fix on set the next day.

Never again will I do that, she says.

In some ways, Bellamy is still learning the ropes.

She promptly gave her notice and devoted herself to preparing for the role.

It was the tumble turns that really got me, Bellamy says.

I remember one time I forgot to take a breath before I did it.

So I was like convulsing in the water.

Bellamy finds the shows perspective on Middleton refreshing.

I love that shes very self assured and is her own person.

Her relationship with William in her eyes, is like, Is this good for me?

Its not like, Its William, and thats enough.

With her breakout performance now out in the world, Bellamy is searching for her next big gig.

We watched them do take, take, take, and they were killing it every time.

Its so nice to know that you dont have to be super serious and in character the whole day.

A great lesson to take onboard well, that, and to keep costume shoes indoors.
