Netflix released the first trailer for the sixth and final season of The Crown. At the center of it, Princess Diana’s fatal accident and the omnipresence of the paparazzi in her life.
The trailer is imbued with sweetness and sadness, but this tragic accident, which shocked the entire planet on August 31, 1997, is nevertheless its main plot, the end point of a life spent in the spotlight.
We see the actress Elizabeth Debicki, who plays Diana Spencer, hidden behind dark glasses, stalked by photographers, on a boat, in a car, everywhere. “The press is constantly after us,” says Elizabeth Debicki. Then, a piece of paper on which it is written: “Paris next week? », a presage of the drama that is to come.
The last season of The Crown traces the reign of Queen Elizabeth II between 1997 and 2005, the era of Prime Minister Tony Blair, the beginning of the romance between William and Kate, the marriage of Charles and Camilla, and – above all – the tragic death of the princess of Wales in a car accident in Paris, while being chased by photographers.
“I don’t understand how I ended up here, always on the move, losing sight of myself in the process. I think it’s the story of my whole life,” says Elizabeth Debicki.
The sixth season of The Crown is the first produced after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022. The first four episodes will be available on Netflix on November 16, and the other six, on December 14.
