After seven years of acclaim, awards and controversy, The Crown brings the Windsors' story to the brink of the modern age this week when the royal drama signs off with its last-ever six episodes.

The final chapter follows a young Prince William as he struggles to process the death of his mother, Princess Diana, and clashes with his father after being thrust into a series of royal engagements.

'William is dealing with grief and that never goes away, says newcomer Ed McVey, who takes over the role.

'But he's growing and dealing with his sense of duty. It's a big journey and there are highs and lows.

The handsome young prince has an army of female admirers, but it's not until he arrives at the University of St Andrews in 2001 that he finally connects with someone. However, it takes a while before romance blossoms between William and fellow History of Art student Kate Middleton.
