The riveting storyline of the latest season, which features a strong female influence with the trio Queen Elizabeth II, Margaret Thatcher and Princess Diana, has been receiving love across social media platforms. While there are a few decades still left before Kate Middleton enters the picture, the eagle-eyed viewers of the popular series are convinced that they saw Duchess of Cambridge in a scene. 

During episode six, which depicts Prince Charles and Diana’s royal tour to Australia and New Zealand, fans shared a screenshot of a scene where a member of the crowd looked familiar. The views pointed out that in one shot, a woman wearing yellow cardigan while greeting Princess Di looked a lot like Kate Middleton. Some fans are also convinced that the Duchess of Cambridge made her debut in the series.
