The popular Netflix series ‘The Crown’ is based on the life of the British Queen Elizabeth II and has now had five seasons. This fall, the sixth and final season will air, after which the fictional story of the Queen will be told to the end. Anyone who knows the British royals has long suspected what series audiences can expect in the finale – and now Netflix is also revealing the first details!
Already in the fifth season, the 90s of the British monarchy were at the center of the series’ history. And it is precisely at this time that most of the sixth season will take place – after all, the end of the millennium was very eventful for Elisabeth and Co….
Here’s what to expect in the sixth season of ‘The Crown’
The sixth season of ‘The Crown’ will mainly focus on the end of the marriage between Prince Charles (now king in real life) and Lady Diana Spencer. However, another event will overshadow everything, just like in the real life of the royal family. Diana (played by Elizabeth Debicki) will die in a tragic accident that is still speculated to this day. Netflix has already revealed that her death will be the central theme of the series and has repeatedly promised to handle the tragedy sensitively.
Now, however, another detail of the Season 6 plot has surfaced that contrasts with Diana’s tragic death:
Via X (formerly Twitter), Netflix teased, that the wedding of Prince Charles and his longtime companion Camilla Parker-Bowles, which took place on April 9, 2005, will be a theme in the sixth season of The Crown.
In the posted photo we see a small booklet from the service at Windsor Castle on the wedding day announcing the marriage of the two. However, no further details or photos will be revealed of the couple, who will be played by Dominic West and Olivia Williams, as they did in Season 5. However, it is common knowledge that the 2005 event caused quite a stir. After all, this second marriage of the then heir to the throne was quite controversial.
When does the plot of “The Crown” end?
It is also not clear whether ‘The Crown’ ends in 2005, when Charles marries for the second time. However, it is certain that the relationship of Charles’ son, Prince William, with Kate Middleton must also be discussed; the two roles are already fulfilled. The couple first met in 2001 and married in 2011.
It has also been confirmed that the relationship between William’s brother Prince Harry and Suits actress Meghan Markle, which began in 2016, will no longer be part of The Crown.
So maybe Season 6 of The Crown will end with a second big wedding for William and Kate. The first trailer for the finale will surely reveal more…
