As fans of The Crown eagerly anticipate its forthcoming sixth season, the show’s producers are speaking out, saying Princess Diana’s death in a car accident in Paris was “delicately, thoughtfully recreated” for the Netflix hit. When we left off at the end of season five, the summer of 1997 was beginning, which ended in Diana’s death at just 36 years old. The crash also killed Diana’s boyfriend, Dodi Al Fayed, and driver Henri Paul; bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones was the accident’s only survivor, though he was severely injured.
