Princess Diana's Tragic Farewell Envelops Netflix's The Crown Season 6 Part 1 Trailer

Summary

The trailer for the final season of The Crown has been released, showcasing Elizabeth Debicki's portrayal of Princess Diana.

The Netflix historical drama, spanning different periods of Queen Elizabeth II's life, has featured various actresses portraying her every two seasons. Season 6 will be the final installment, split into two parts.

Check out the official full-length trailer for part 1 of season 6 of The Crown, which has just been released by Netflix.

The focus of the trailer is primarily on the final days of Princess Diana, highlighting her challenges in maintaining a relationship with her children and her transition into a tabloid icon after separating from the royal family. It covers the events leading up to her tragic death in a car accident in 1997. Following this, the perspective shifts to Queen Elizabeth II, who faces her own struggle as she tries to fulfill the role of being the "mother to the nation" during a profoundly challenging period for her family.

How Will The Crown Tell Princess Diana’s Story?

The portrayal of Princess Diana's life and tragic demise has been showcased across various mediums lately. These include the spectacular Broadway production Diana the Musical, of which a filmed version can be found on Netflix, as well as the biopic Spencer, which led to Kristen Stewart's Academy Award nomination for her exceptional performance as the princess. It remains to be seen how The Crown's depiction of Princess Diana's story will leave its distinctive imprint as a fresh retelling.

The season's unique point lies in its perspective, as it delves into the Queen's experience of Diana's death. This perspective is crucial as Queen Elizabeth II is the central character in The Crown. Unlike other depictions, where the royal family typically plays an antagonistic role in the Princess Diana story, The Crown has the opportunity to offer a nuanced and textured portrayal of the tragic events.

The number of episodes before Princess Diana's death in The Crown season 6 remains unknown. However, the timeline for season 6 will commence in 1997, mere weeks before her death. Given that the season will cover at least 8 more years beyond that point, it is likely that the first one or two episodes will heavily focus on Diana's story before delving into the consequences of her death and its enduring impact on the royal family.
