Yahoo News ‘The Crown’ Season 6 Trailer Focuses on Princess Diana Tragedy
In the official trailer for The Crown‘s sixth and final season, the rest of the royal family takes a backseat to the tragic story of Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki), who is shown struggling with her global fame, being hounded by paparazzi and beginning her ill-fated car ride with Dodi Fayed (Khalid Abdalla).
A glimpse of the accident’s aftermath is shown, too, with Prince Charles (Dominic West) intoning: “This is going to be the biggest thing that any of us has ever seen.”

The final season will cover the years 1997-2005 and is being being split into two parts: The first four episodes will drop Nov. 16 and “depict a relationship blossoming between Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed before a fateful car journey has devastating consequences.”
The six final episodes will drop Dec. 14 and feature the wedding of Prince Charles to Camilla Parker Bowles (Olivia Williams), while also focusing on Charles’ sons, William (Ed McVey) and Harry (Luther Ford). The season also stars Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II and Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip.
“I am really, really proud of this final season. I think it’s some of our best work,” executive producer Suzanne Mackie told The Hollywood Reporter in August. “Imelda is extraordinary as the queen, she really is. And I don’t want to spoil the very end, but it’s really beautiful and, I think, quite profound, and it feels like a culmination of a very long journey.”
The Crown launched on Netflix in 2016 and has since had 69 Emmy nominations and five wins. Peter Morgan serves as showrunner and executive produces along with Mackie, Andy Harries, Stephen Daldry, Matthew Byam Shaw and Robert Fox.
