‘The Crown’s New Prince William Wore a Regal Hublot Watch on the Red Carpet

The stars were out in London on Wednesday evening for the Glamour Women of the Year Awards. Honorees such as Halle Bailey and America Ferrera turned it out on the red carpet, but we couldn’t help but notice actor Ed McVey, who’s soon to appear in The Crown, making a case for going green this fall.

The 22-year-old is slated to play Prince William in the popular Netflix series’s sixth season, but his red carpet look took a decided detour from the real-life royal’s typical garb. McVey chose an olive green peak-lapel suit, worn over a black scoop-neck top. He doubled down on the color choice with Hublot’s Classic Fusion in Titanium Green watch, which doubled as a complementary accessory for the suit and the season.

Crafted from satin-finished and polished titanium, the elegant timepiece is available in four sizes. McVey rocked the 42 mm edition, which features a green sunray dial with a date window at 3 o’clock. Its accented by six H-shaped screws along the titanium bezel, plus a green-tinted alligator strap lined in rubber. The watchmaker’s HUB1110 self-winding movement powers the watch and grants McVey a 42-hour power reserve. Should you want one for yourself, it’ll set you back about $7,600.

Back in March, the actor was spotted filming for The Crown in St. Andrews, Scotland. McVey was photographed exiting the Molly Malones pub wearing burgundy sweatshirt and blue jeans with books in tow while portraying a late teens/early 20s version of the now Prince of Wales. According to the Daily Mail, the show’s next season will chronicle Prince William’s time at the University of Sts Andrews, where he met and fell in love with his wife Kate Middleton.

The Crown fans have noted McVey’s uncanny resemblance to the prince, with one telling Hello! Magazine that “he looks more like Prince William than Prince William looks like Prince William.” McVey was reportedly chosen in part because of his status as a relative unknown, but his forthcoming screen time will undoubtedly change that.
