“The Crown” creator Peter Morgan bids adieu to his monumental retelling of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign with the upcoming sixth season. With a melancholic touch, Season 6 of the hit series opens in Paris, casting a somber shadow over subsequent episodes. Set in late June 1997, this season primarily centers around the post-divorce life of Princess Diana, portrayed by Elizabeth Debicki, and her dazzling transformation.
The narrative takes a turn as Diana embarks on a vacation to St. Tropez alongside businessman Mohamed “Mou Mou” Al-Fayed and her beloved sons. Clinching the spotlight is Diana’s unwavering commitment to her philanthropic endeavors and her personal journey of self-discovery, as she strives to find her true voice in the world.
Effervescent and radiant, Diana’s character portrayal is awe-inspiring, showcasing a woman teetering on the brink of a revelatory revelation. The season swiftly traverses through the scorching summer days of 1997, enveloping the audience in a palpable sense of anticipation.
“The Crown” season 6 intriguingly presents diverging perspectives. On one hand, it delves into Diana’s pursuit of a life liberated from the burdensome constraints of the crown, while being relentlessly pursued by the paparazzi. On the other hand, it explores Mou Mou’s aspiration to be accepted by the aristocracy.
Amidst Diana’s captivating tale, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, and Prince Philip remain prominent figures. However, their focus is predominantly fixed on the ever-growing “Diana” problem, plaguing the royals’ personal and public lives.
As Season 6 of “The Crown” gradually unveils its narrative, the concluding episode of Part I, titled “The Aftermath,” brings the larger royal family, excluding the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, into poignant focus. The show humanizes both Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed, highlighting the comforting bond they shared, entangled within the constraints of public perception and familial obligation.
“The Crown” encourages viewers to contemplate the consequences of the choices made by the British royal family, contributing to its seemingly archaic existence. This thought-provoking season of the beloved series is split into two parts. Part I premieres on Netflix on November 16, followed by the premiere of Part II on December 14, allowing fans to fully immerse themselves in the captivating world of “The Crown” before bidding farewell to this remarkable era.
