In the first four episodes of season 6, which dropped on Netflix in November 2023, we follow Diana’s post-royal life: her romance with Dodi Fayed, her work with anti-landmine groups, and her tragic death in Paris. The final episode of part 1 takes place shortly after her death and includes the funeral.
What’s next?
To St. Andrew’s we go! The final episodes seem to be covering royal life in the ’00s, when Prince William met and married Princess Kate, and when his father finally got to tie the knot with Camilla Parker Bowles. It looks like we won’t be seeing any of Meghan, but that doesn’t mean Harry doesn’t get his own scandal: Remember the time he dressed up as a Nazi?
On September 2, Deadline revealed that The Crown had cast Rufus Kampa as the future king in his teens. Meanwhile, Hollywood newcomers Ed McVey and Meg Bellamy will portray Prince William and Kate Middleton in stories of the couple’s college romance, which began at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland in 2001.
And Kate will be getting the entrance she deserves! As many a royal gossip watcher knows, the story goes that Will became smitten with his future wife after seeing her in a revealing outfit during a student fashion show in 2001. (Did she start the sheer trend that very day?) On November 28, Netflix released pictures from the upcoming batch of episodes, and the iconic moment seems to be recreated in full. Plus, Charles and Camilla’s wedding! Take a look here:
