**What will season six of The Crown involve?**

Season five left us in the aftermath of Charles and Diana’s “irretrievably broken” marriage, with Tony Blair as prime minister and the developing grandmother-grandson partnership between Queen Elizabeth II and a young Prince William.

In the last episode of season five, Princess Diana bumped into Mohamed Al-Fayed at a ballet, where he invited her to spend the summer holidays with him on his yacht. This is a well-documented part of Diana’s history, as it was the true beginning of her romance with Dodi Fayed. Pictures from this particular event circulated in the press at the time (as did almost anything that the Princess of Wales did) and similar on-set photos have been shared.

The first half of season six delved deeper into the Diana-Dodi tale, a brief but widely known love affair that lasted until their shocking and untimely deaths later that year.

Other events that occupied the family in the late 90s include the integration of Camilla Parker-Bowles into public life alongside Prince Charles in the wake of the future King’s divorce. In episode three of the sixth season, we see this play out when the Queen fails to attend a birthday party Charles throws for Camilla.
