Young William and Kate's sweet uni moments recreated in new series of The Crown

The sixth season of The Crown is sure to be a wild ride if behind-the-scenes footage being circulated online is to be believed.

Film crews have been spotted around St Andrews in Scotland, along with the actors playing young Prince William and Kate, who famously attended the university.

While the future King and Queen of England undoubtedly worked hard during their years in Scotland, it's the students' cheekier antics that have been captivating onlookers.

Romance, chance encounters and foam parties are all in store according to videos shared online of newcomer Meg Bellamy, who plays Kate, and Ed McVey, who takes on the role of Prince William.

In one clip that's drawn in millions of views, Kate can be seen walking hand in hand with a fellow student when they bump into Prince William. Perhaps startled, he momentarily pauses, before chasing after his future wife.

Shared by student @shark_bateman, the social media user also praised the 'sweet' actors in a follow-up clip, where she captured Meg, 19, thanking students for their support by signing a love heart.

Elsewhere, the duo appear to meet again while sporty Kate is out for a run.

Meanwhile, other footage, which is a far cry from the quiet moments captured in these scenes, depicts the crowds and attention that follows the royal family wherever they go.

In one such video, fans can be seen welcoming royals, while another appears to show the young students on a night out to the cinema. The footage was shared by @ramsay.bader, who also glimpsed the golden couple and thought 'the casting directors were spot on'.

But the clips viewers will most enjoy must be the shots of the foam fight, which looks to be a grand occasion complete with inflatables.

As to what else Netflix fans can expect when the show airs later this year, we will have to wait and see. However, it is sure to involve lots of drama as Prince Charles actor Dominic West previously told Deadline that the final series "will be as tumultuous as it gets".
