What To Expect From Princess Diana's Death Arc In The Crown Season 6

And I don’t want to spoil the very end, but it’s truly enchanting and, in my opinion, profoundly moving. It feels like the culmination of an extensive journey. Speaking about our other queens, it pays homage to them, and you'll understand that when you watch it. Some parts are deeply sorrowful as it explores the tragedy of Diana's death — across three episodes, we witness the events leading to her demise, her final days in Paris. It's a heartbreaking and vivid portrayal, and I hope it is both respectful and exquisitely poignant. The upcoming chapters after Diana might catch the audience by surprise because in many ways, it becomes very challenging. However, we've discovered a truly remarkable new chapter, centered around Prince William and Kate Middleton. It feels as though delicate flowers are blooming from the earth in the wake of Diana's passing.

Emma Corrin portrayed The Princess of Wales when she made her debut in season 4 of The Crown. What started as a seemingly magical fairy tale turned into a harrowing nightmare. Princess Diana soon realized that marrying Prince Charles meant facing obstacles and challenges she never anticipated. In season 5, Elizabeth Debicki stepped into the role of an older Princess Diana as her marriage continued to crumble. Moving forward in the timeline, season 6 will unavoidably delve into the period surrounding Princess Diana's untimely death. This tragic event left a profound impact on the image of the British Royal Family from the late '90s to the early '00s.

Debicki will reprise her role as Princess Diana in The Crown season 6, alongside Dominic West as Prince Charles. Previously, the actor hinted at handling Princess Diana's death with sensitivity, and this sentiment is now reinforced by Mackie's new statement. It is important to note, however, that the show will not depict the Paris car crash that tragically took the life of the beloved royal. As the earlier episodes of The Crown will focus more on Diana, it raises curiosity about how the Queen's controversial response to the tragedy will be portrayed.

Regrettably, Princess Diana is not the only notable member of the royal family whose death will be explored in The Crown season 6. Princess Margaret, the Queen's sister, passed away less than five years after the Princess of Wales' accident. The extent to which the show will delve into her death remains unclear, but considering how significant her story has been in The Crown, it is unlikely to be overlooked.
