These will be the years of British royalty that the current generation also experienced through the news. How old were you when you… Prince Henry walks dejectedly behind the coffin from his mother, Princess Diana of Wales?

The lonely man Diana’s divorce, the blatant harassment of the paparazzi, the hope of finding love again Dodi Al-Fayed and it’s tragic death, August 31, 1997, They will be part of the sixth and final season of the award-winning series The crown (Netflix), which will be broadcast from early morning in Ecuador Thursday, November 16.

Even if it’s just a starter, oh well the real payoff will come with the final six episodes which will be released on Thursday December 14.

Elizabeth Debickiwho already dazzled the audience last season with ‘The Vengeance Dress’, returns as the second and final actress to play Diana in the series created and written by Peter Morgan. This time in his last days.

“It really is a unique challenge as an actor to portray those days“Debicki told Netflix about his return for the final season. These episodes are completely different from anything you’ve ever seen The crown. They are almost like one thriller”said in reference to episodes 2, 3 and 4, directed by Christian Schwochow designed into a narrative arc he calls a three-part tragedy.

That sense of tragedy and bad omen was already palpable from the end of season 5 of Diana of Wales (Debicki) arrives in the south of France in the company of her children accept an invitation from Mohamed al-Fayed (Salim Daw), father of Dodi (Khalid Abdalla).

The beautiful promotional poster It shocked Diana’s fans and of the series in which it is shown in his spectacular turquoise swimsuit of a piece with which she was photographed – somewhat lonely the Jonikal, the private yacht of her boyfriend (Al-Fayed) on August 24, 1997a few days before his death.

The crown decided to include that iconic moment in the sun of ‘the princess of hearts’ captured by the paparazzi in this new seasonas depicted episodes ago in his famous and sad photo in the Taj Mahal (without her husband, the current King Charles III).

“There was something about that swimsuit and the recreation of that moment that felt very sacred and important.Debicki admitted. “It kind of reminded me of when we filmed Revenge Dress (season 5). It is as close as possible to the real images and yet What I can do as an actress is enter that space and find out what’s going on emotionally in that moment.”.

Her character’s interpretive journey this season also required the actress to explore some very dark spaces.

During filming in Paris, for example She and Abdalla were relentlessly pursued by actors playing the film paparazzi, as a result of the constant criticism Diana and Dodi received in the early days of their relationship.

“It was hard,” Debicki said of the emotional exhaustion from recreating those moments. “It was overwhelming and incredibly invasive. We only had to be in that situation for about a minute before we realize it’s completely unbearable. But we let it happen because it is a very important part of the story that needs to be told.”

In the December episodes, after the death of Diana’s character, history will return in the hands of the bearer (until September 2022) of the British crown, Queen Elizabeth II of England (1926-2022), who was strongly criticized by the whole world for not making an immediate and public statement after the accident who claimed the life of the mother of his grandchildren.
