巨魔告訴我我太胖了，無法扮演凱特 - 皇冠明星

Meg Bellamy, who portrayed a young Catherine Middleton in the Netflix drama The Crown, has revealed that she was told by internet trolls that she was 'too fat' for the role. The 21-year-old actress starred in the final season of the show, which depicted the courtship of William and Kate at the University of St Andrews. Speaking in an interview, Bellamy said that after a long day of press interviews, she looked at her phone and found 'all this negative stuff' about her body online. 'The comments were mostly saying I was too fat to play Kate,' she added. Bellamy, who hails from Berkshire, starred opposite Ed McVey, who played William, and Luther Ford, who joined the cast as Prince Harry. It was the first major role for all three young actors. In the interview, Bellamy described the comments from internet trolls as 'a glimpse into being a woman in this industry. ' She said, 'I thought, OK, that's a sign to distance yourself, because it doesn't mean anything. You can't listen to that sort of stuff. Not least because most of it is written by internet trolls or men called Gary who are holding a fish in their profile picture. ' Bellamy indicated she was staying positive about her experience, adding that she has had 'so many amazing things' happen to her. 'They're the losers for saying that. I'm living my best life over here,' she said. Bellamy mentioned that since wrapping up filming, she has tried to put the character behind her. However, reflecting on Catherine's cancer diagnosis, she added, 'I so feel for her and for the family. ' The Princess of Wales revealed she was receiving cancer treatment after her diagnosis. The final series of the royal drama, which was released towards the end of last year, received mixed reviews from critics. It covered events including the death of Princess Diana and the aftermath, in which her ghost appears to Prince Charles and the Queen. It also portrayed the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002 and the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla in 2005. The show has faced some criticism over its historical accuracy, but Netflix has previously stated that the series 'has always been presented as a drama based on historical events. ' The role of the late Princess Diana was depicted by Australian actress Elizabeth Debicki in both series five and six. Bellamy said Debicki has been 'so supportive' of her. 'I can call her about anything,' she added.
