The Crown series six trailer sees Princess Diana's struggle in final days
The Crown has debuted the trailer for its sixth and final season, which will focus on Princess Diana.
Part one of the sixth series of The Crown will drop on November 16th, and ahead of its release, the trailer has dropped. It documents Prince Charles and Princess Diana's first summer as a divorced couple, with the pair taking their kids on very different holidays.
The trailer opens with Diana playing the piano as a voiceover says: "Don't really understand how I ended up here. Dashing around and losing sight of myself in the process. I think that's been the story of my whole life." It is then peppered with clips of Diana on the front cover of newspapers as the Queen is informed of the interest in Diana's private life.

A heartbreaking moment where William and Harry call their mum also appears as part of the two minute and 22 second trailer. She then receives a note which reads "Paris next week?" before the trailer is interspersed with moments from the horrifying car crash, a controversial element of the new series.
Diana heads to the South of France with Dodi's family, whilst Charles follows tradition and takes his sons to Balmoral. When the news breaks of the fatal car accident, there is a complete wave of public grief which catches the Queen off-guard. Having lost his son, Al Fayed reaches out to the Palace amid his own grief but is meant by complete silence.

The devastating accident in Paris is controversially included in the trailerThe show's writer, Peter Morgan, has responded to 'sickening' claims that Princess Diana's ghost will appear in the final series of the award-winning Netflix show, explaining what his true intention was with those moments.
Speaking about his intentions with those scenes, he explained: "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. Diana was unique, and I suppose that’s what inspired me to find a unique way of representing her. She deserved special treatment narratively."
