In the opening moments of The Crown’s season 6 trailer, Princess Diana, portrayed by Elizabeth Debicki, expresses her bewilderment at her current circumstances. She remarks, “I don’t really understand how I ended up here. Dashing around and losing sight of myself in the process. I think that’s been the story of my whole life.” This trailer, released on October 26, marks the beginning of the final season of the acclaimed series.
Season 6 commences by delving into the burgeoning relationship between Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed. However, their romance is closely shadowed by relentless media scrutiny. The royal family witnesses the relentless paparazzi intrusion into Diana’s life, and Queen Elizabeth II, portrayed by Imelda Staunton, expresses her concern, saying, “All one wants is for that girl to find peace.” Young Prince William, played by Rufus Kampa, at one point, asks his mother about her well-being. As the plot unfolds, Dodi persuades Diana to accompany him to Paris, despite the tragic outcome that awaits them there.
The trailer poignantly captures Diana and Dodi, played by Khalid Abdalla, getting into their car, which will tragically crash in a Paris tunnel while being pursued by paparazzi. Season 6 goes on to explore how Princess Diana’s untimely death in 1997 profoundly shocked both the world and the royal family. When the Queen maintains her silence following the tragedy, she faces unprecedented criticism.
In a heartfelt moment, she seeks guidance from Prince Charles, portrayed by Dominic West, asking him what her people expect of her. An emotional Charles responds, “For you to be the mother to the nation,” and reflects on Diana’s profound impact on people worldwide, adding, “You’ve seen the images on the television. Diana gave people what they needed. All over the world, in their thousands. And they adored her for it.” The trailer also suggests that Prince Charles learns of Diana’s tragic demise during a phone call, with him acknowledging the monumental impact it will have.
The final season of The Crown, season 6, will be divided into two parts for viewers to savor. The first four episodes are set to be released on November 16, with Part 2 following on December 14. Part 1 of this concluding season unfolds with Princess Diana and Prince Charles navigating their first summer as a divorced couple. Their sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, must navigate the contrasting worlds shaped by their parents’ separation.
According to the official synopsis, Diana yearns to reunite with her boys, who are in Balmoral, while an unplanned trip to Paris results in a significant turning point amid intensified media pursuit. The fatal car accident involving Diana and Dodi sends shockwaves through the Palace, and Dodi’s father, Al Fayed, grapples with the loss of his beloved son. He hopes the tragedy might bring him and the Royal Family together in shared grief but instead finds himself increasingly isolated.
