511"Persona Non Grata"Alex GabassiPeter Morgan16 November 2023 (2023-11-16)
In Paris, a car pursued by paparazzi speeds into the Pont de l'Alma tunnel and crashes. Eight weeks earlier, Diana lobbies Prime Minister Blair for an official role with the government, but the Queen rejects the idea. Diana takes her two sons on a yachting holiday in Saint-Tropez, France, at the invitation of Mohamed Al-Fayed. Prince Charles prepares to throw a party for Camilla's 50th birthday; he petitions the Queen to attend, knowing it will win approval for Camilla, but she refuses. Dodi travels to Saint-Tropez at the insistence of Mohamed, who plans to marry him to Diana to get closer to the British elite, leaving behind his fiancée, Kelly Fisher. Diana gets photographers to leave her sons alone by briefly posing in a bathing suit, upstaging Camilla's party in the newspapers and infuriating Charles. Dodi invites Kelly to Saint-Tropez, but keeps her in a smaller yacht, away from Diana. Dodi confides in Diana about his reconsidering his engagement, and they bond over both of their difficult relationships with their fathers. After hearing about the party from Margaret, the Queen tells Charles that she is happy that he is happy. Dodi tells Diana that she will always be welcome. Returning to Kensington Palace, Diana finds an invitation to Paris.
522"Two Photographs"Christian SchwochowPeter Morgan16 November 2023 (2023-11-16)
The royal family is informed that Diana spent a weekend in Paris with Dodi, which puts pressure on the British government regarding its consistent denial of citizenship to Mohamed, who arranges for a paparazzo photographer to take pictures of Diana and Dodi kissing, leading to a bidding war by the newspapers. The Queen and Diana are warned about the photographs. Diana says farewell to William and Harry, who are going to Balmoral Castle to spend time with Prince Charles, and travels to Bosnia to support the Landmine Survivors Network charity. However, her work is overshadowed by the publication of the photographs. Charles's public relations adviser, Mark Bolland, informs him that Dodi is being sued by his fiancée for breach of contract and urges him to counter Diana with his own photographs. Charles persuades William and Harry to be photographed spending time together at Balmoral. The Queen discusses Diana's erratic behaviour with Prince Philip. Diana retreats to the south of France with Dodi.
533"Dis-Moi Oui"Christian SchwochowPeter Morgan16 November 2023 (2023-11-16)
Diana decides to return to London. Mohamed tells Dodi that if he marries Diana, he will make Dodi an equal partner in his company. At Monte Carlo, Diana and Dodi continue to be pursued by paparazzi. They enter a jewellery shop for refuge; Dodi asks if there's anything she likes, and she points out a ring. They prepare to return to London, but Dodi plans a stop at Paris to propose to her. At Balmoral, Prince William shoots his first stag deer stalking. Diana and Dodi continue to be pursued by paparazzi in Paris; Diana is stunned when Mohamed offers her Villa Windsor to live with Dodi. Diana and Dodi stay at Hôtel Ritz Paris, where Dodi proposes to Diana with the ring, but she declines, saying their marriage would only make his father happy. They diagnose each other's problems: Dodi tells her that she needs to slow down, and Diana tells him he needs to stop letting his father control his life. Dodi decides to return to his apartment; he, Diana, and Diana's bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones get into a car at the hotel's rear, driven by the Ritz's head of security Henri Paul, who had been drinking. Pursued by paparazzi, their car speeds into the Pont de l'Alma tunnel and is heard crashing.
544"Aftermath"Christian SchwochowPeter Morgan16 November 2023 (2023-11-16)
Diana dies from the accident, along with Dodi and Henri Paul. A grief-stricken Mohamed travels to Paris to retrieve Dodi's body.

Charles flies to Paris to accompany Diana's coffin back to England; he has a vision of Diana and expresses his regret. At Balmoral, Charles tells Elizabeth and Philip of the reactions he witnessed and pushes for a more public response from the family. Mohamed buries his son and has a vision of Dodi, in which each regrets the mistakes of the other. William leaves Balmoral without informing anyone and returns fourteen hours later. The royal family faces a public backlash at its muted response. Elizabeth has a vision of Diana; she then agrees to a ceremonial funeral and travels to London. Philip, Charles, William, Harry and Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, walk behind the funeral procession. Elizabeth delivers a televised address commemorating Diana.

Following the death of Diana, Charles struggles to connect with William, now 15 years old. William insists on returning to boarding at Eton College immediately and throw himself into his studies, despite assurances that he can take it slowly. He begins to receive fan mail and enthusiastic reactions from crowds of young girls at official events, which he finds uncomfortable. He later reluctantly joins Charles and Harry in an official visit to Canada. While on a skiing holiday in Whistler, British Columbia, William tells Charles he "hates" the press and crowds. Charles tells the Queen and Philip that he thinks William is struggling to cope with Diana's death. William is invited to tea with the Queen and Philip, but is instead met by Charles. He accuses Charles of driving Diana to her death. Philip meets William and proposes that his frustration lies with the legacy left by his mother, but since he cannot be angry at her, he is angry at Charles instead. William visits Charles and they share a hug as Philip, reflecting on his own mistakes as a father to Charles, looks on. William later visits his mother's grave at Althorp.

With Blair continuing to enjoy higher popularity than the Queen, the Queen asks Blair to look into ways the monarchy can modernise. Blair's proposals included cutting positions in the Royal Household and scaling back ceremonies such as the State Opening of Parliament. After interviewing the people working in those positions, the Queen decides not to proceed with the proposals. However, her private secretary, Robert Fellowes, resigns to make way for Robin Janvrin. Blair suffers a setback when his speech at a Women's Institute event is heckled.

Three years later, William graduates from Eton, and after taking a gap year, enrols at the University of St Andrews to study art history.

At Margaret's 70th birthday party at the Ritz, she begins to tell the story of her and Elizabeth's night out in 1945, but Elizabeth stops her by proposing a toast to her sister's dutiful support of her. As Elizabeth cares for Margaret, Margaret says that no one who is unaware of their secret night out will ever understand how much Elizabeth had to give up when she became Queen.

Production

edit

Development

edit

Although the series was initially planned to run for six seasons, in January 2020, creator Peter Morgan announced that it would instead conclude with the fifth season.[23] However, in July 2020, Morgan reversed his decision and announced that the series would end with a sixth season as originally planned, saying, "As we started to discuss the storylines for Season 5, it soon became clear that in order to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons. To be clear, Season 6 will not bring us any closer to present-day—it will simply enable us to cover the same period in greater detail."[24]

Casting

edit

In January 2020, Imelda Staunton was announced as succeeding Colman as the Queen in the fifth season, and her role in the final sixth season was reported in July.[25][26] The same month, Lesley Manville was announced as portraying Princess Margaret,[27][26] and the following month, Jonathan Pryce and Elizabeth Debicki were cast as Prince Philip and Diana, Princess of Wales, respectively.[28][29] In October 2020, Dominic West was in talks to play Prince Charles and was officially confirmed as part of the cast in April 2021.[30][31] In June 2021, Olivia Williams announced that she would portray Camilla Parker Bowles.[32][33] In September 2022, Rufus Kampa and Ed McVey were cast as Prince William, while Meg Bellamy was cast as Kate Middleton.[10] Viola Prettejohn was cast as young Elizabeth, while Beau Gadsdon reprised her role as young Margaret, for flashback scenes set on Victory in Europe Day.[12][34]

Filming

edit

Filming for the season began in early September 2022, but was paused following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September 2022.[35][36] On that Day Lesley Manville later said they filmed an emotional scene between Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret in Hospital, Shortly before this scene was filmed (4PM) the real queen died.[37]

Filming resumed the following week, but was paused again on the day of the Queen's funeral on 19 September 2022.[38] Filming wrapped on 21 April 2023.[39] It would have been the Queen's 97th birthday.

"Ghost of Diana" controversy

edit

Shortly after releasing the teaser for season 6 on 9 October 2023, Netflix ran into controversy after an insider described a scene in which Diana would appear as a ghost in front of her ex-husband, Charles, and his mother, the Queen. After a backlash, a Netflix spokesperson claimed that: "These sensitive and thoughtful imagined conversations seek to bring to life the depth of emotion that was felt after such a seismic tragedy struck at the heart of the family."[40][41][42] Peter Morgan said of the scenes, "I never imagined it as Diana’s ‘ghost’ in the traditional sense — it was her continuing to live vividly in the minds of those she has left behind."[43]

Release

edit

The season was released in two parts: the first four episodes were released on 16 November 2023, and the remaining six were made available on 14 December 2023.[3][44] The trailer for the first part was released on 26 October 2023,[45] while the trailer for the second part was released on 1 December 2023.[46]

Critical response

edit

According to review aggregator Metacritic, the first volume of the season received "generally favorable reviews", based on a weighted average score of 61 out 100 from 29 critics’ reviews.[47] On Rotten Tomatoes, 54% of 85 reviews are positive and the average rating is 6.1/10. The website's critics consensus states, "Elizabeth Debicki's haunting portrayal does right by the Princess of Wales, but The Crown's final season often feels like a reign extended past its prime."[48] The BBC reported that the first four episodes "have split critics, but many have given [them] the thumbs down" in the UK,[49] while French reviews largely praised them.[50] The cast's performances, especially those of Debicki, Staunton, and West, were widely praised, including by critics who reviewed the season more negatively.[b]

In a top-marked review for Newsday, Verne Gay praised the four episodes, presenting "a cohesive and deeply moving picture" of the last hours of Diana and Dodi, with particular commendation for a humane rather than a more vilified depiction of Dodi.[57] Writing for Variety, Aramide Tinubu contended that by portraying Diana's relationship as "a comforting friendship that had only started to blossom", the show prompts viewers to reflect on the British royal family's choices, juxtaposed against the reigning monarch's stoicism and adherence to tradition, which, according to the reviewer, has led to the monarchy being perceived as "relic-like".[51] Carol Midgley of The Times wrote that, despite some "gauche imaginings" of characters, the majority of performances were "excellent" and the show was still "a compelling piece of television with very high production values that makes you want to see more".[58] Entertainment Weekly's Kristen Baldwin thought Diana and Dodi's romance and their deaths in Paris were depicted with a "wistful, careful, and restrained approach".[59] Lacy Baugher from Paste gave the first part of the season a score of 7.2 out of 10 and considered it to be an "excellent Diana miniseries", but questioned its suitability as the final season, which initially had broader scope and bigger ambitions, due to its perceived simplicity or its potential bias to portray Charles in a "wildly friendly" way.[60] In a mixed review for The Independent, Nick Hilton similarly opined that the series left little to say "about what it means to be British" as it nears its conclusion.[54]

Reviewing the first volume for The Guardian, Lucy Mangan gave it one out of five, describing the "Diana-obsessed series" as "the very definition of bad writing", despite the "brilliant performances from the entire cast". She particularly criticised scenes featuring "Ghost Diana", which is "all of a piece with what is now simply a crass, by-numbers piece of film-making, with a script that barely aspires to craft, let alone art, any more".[56] Caryn James, writing for BBC Culture, said that the series has "failed to right the terrible flaws of the last season", scoring it at two out of five.[61]

In her review of the second volume for Variety, Alison Herman noted that there was a vacuum left by Diana's departure, but that similar to earlier seasons the focus shifted towards the Queen and the final moments were "an articulate expression of why ritual, stasis and pageantry matter".[62] Writing for The New York Times, Mike Hale also noted that by moving past Diana's storyline the show was "back inside the parlors, bedrooms and country houses of Elizabeth and the other Windsors" and was again "in its comfort zone".[63] In her review for The Independent, Katie Rosseinsky gave the second volume two out of five and concluded that "Morgan's drama is haunted by the ghost of past glories" and the people depicted "exist less as characters, more as vessels for exposition and knowing nods to present-day royal in-fighting".[64] Anita Singh of The Telegraph also gave the second volume two out of five and believed that "Morgan had clearly run out of steam", adding that the story of William and Kate's relationship was "sweet but dull".[65]

Historical accuracy

edit

Episode 1 shows Princess Margaret attending Camilla's 50th birthday party in 1997, though she was not present at the event.[72] The Queen is also keen for Camilla to not be viewed as "wicked", but there were reports that she once referred to her as "that wicked woman" in front of Charles.[73]

In episode 2, Mohamed Al-Fayed hires Italian paparazzo Mario Brenna to take photos of his son Dodi and Diana during their trip in the south of France; however, there is no evidence that Al-Fayed was behind this and Diana's biographer Tina Brown suggests that it was Diana herself who notified Brenna.[72][73] The episode also suggests that news of Diana's relationship with Dodi broke during her trip to Bosnia and she was disturbed by the media enquiring about them, but in reality, the photos of them did not appear in the papers until a few days after the trip was over.[72]

Episode 3 features a scene during which Diana and Dodi are forced into the Repossi jewellery store in Monte Carlo while trying to escape a group of fans.[72] In reality, Dodi visited the Paris branch of Repossi quietly and purchased a ring which he kept at his apartment, rather than at the Ritz hotel where he and Diana were staying, making the scene showing his proposal fictitious.[72][73]

Episode 4 focuses on the row within the royal family about whether or not Diana should have a public funeral, which Buckingham Palace denied ever happened.[72] Another fictional plot involves Prince William going missing in Scotland for fourteen hours shortly after his mother's death.[72][73]

Episode 7 depicts Kate Middleton and her mother Carole buying a copy of The Big Issue from Prince William and his mother Diana on the street in December 1996; however, Diana and William never sold any copies of the magazine together, making the whole scene fictional.[74] Another plotline involves William dating a fictional character named Lola Airdale-Cavendish-Kincaid.[74] The episode also relates William's initial dissatisfaction with St Andrews to his supposed sense of loneliness whereas according to his biographers he was mainly unimpressed with how small and provincial the school was.[74]

Episode 8 shows Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret taking part in VE Day celebrations at The Ritz, though there is no record of the sisters visiting the hotel's basement bar the Pink Sink and dancing jitterbug.[74] The episode also falsely shows the Queen attending Margaret's 70th birthday party without Philip.[74]

Episode 9 shows Prince William and Kate Middleton starting to date after she walks on the stage at a charity fashion show on the day the Queen Mother died. However, the show took place four days before her demise.[74] Both are also shown to spend time together as a couple during the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002, but they reportedly did not start dating until 2003.[74] The episode shows Sir John Stevens, who led Operation Paget, publicly refuting Mohamed Al-Fayed's conspiracies about Diana and Dodi's deaths, but no set-piece public speech was delivered by Stevens on the matter.[74] Contrary to what the episode shows Al-Fayed also never left Britain.[74] There were also no credible polls published in the 2000s that suggested more than 50% of the public believed Diana was murdered.[74] The scenes showing William and Harry's relationship falling apart as early as 2002 were also fictional.[74]

Episode 10 features a fictional plotline in which the Queen is shown to self-debate the idea of abdication in favour of her son Charles in the days leading up to his wedding to Camilla.[74]
