On Monday, Netflix dropped some new photos for The Crown Season 6, and all of these pics look like they’re from the “Part 1” of the final season. Meaning, there’s a lot of focus on the summer of 1997, where Princess Diana spent the summer on Mohamed al-Fayed’s yacht, Jonikal. The first part of the summer, Prince Harry and William were on the yacht, and the al-Fayeds were focused on providing a good family environment for the boys. Then Diana sent the boys off to spend the rest of the summer in Balmoral with their father, and she remained with the al-Fayeds, which is when her “romance” with Dodi al-Fayed really started happening. There were paparazzi stalking that yacht for weeks. Then Dodi took Diana to Paris and… you know the rest.

From the photos, we can see how Diana-intensive it will be, but they’ll also do something in Balmoral. Charles did a “photocall” with his sons at Balmoral weeks before (if memory serves) Diana’s death. That photocall seems to be part of the story. The kid they got to play a 12-year-old Harry is… not the one. Good lord, that’s bad casting! No offense to the kid, but he looks nothing like Harry at that age. And William had a growth spurt just months earlier and he was as tall as his dad during the photocall.

I wonder how much Peter Morgan will include about the hours before Diana’s death. Those hours were especially chaotic, with Dodi not being able to settle on staying in one place, and there were reports that Diana sat in the middle of the Ritz and wept openly because she was so frustrated with the paparazzi situation and Dodi’s indecision. The remarkable Khalid Abdalla returns to play Dodi, as he did in Season 5. Abdalla looks so much like Dodi!!
