The Crown season six is the most controversial instalment of the Netflix show yet, detailing the events leading up to—and the aftermath of—Princess Diana's untimely death in Paris, in 1997.

Actress Elizabeth Debicki, who plays Princess Diana in the season, went as far as to say that she found filming her final days "unbearable".
