Princess Diana's Final Days Included in 'The Crown' — Will Fatal Accident Be Shown?

By Alexandria Reeves

Princess Diana's final days will be included in "The Crown," and the public already saw sneak peeks of the scenes.

"The Crown" has been making everyone anxious due to its history of wrong portrayals of the royal family members. Its upcoming 10th-episode season, which will be released on November 9, will explore King Charles III and Princess Diana's marriage and the downfall of their relationship.

For the sixth season, viewers have long speculated that it might include the late Princess of Wales' tragic crash. Although Netflix already clarified that it would not film the accident, it aimed to include the royal's last days instead.

On Saturday, PEOPLE shared exclusive photos of Elizabeth Debicki as she portrayed Princess Diana's character. The actress was seen wearing the same outfit Princess Diana wore the day before her devastating death.

Debicki was spotted in Barcelona alongside Khalid Abdalla, who plays the role of billionaire Dodi Al Fayed. The Egyptian business mogul was romantically involved with the princess.

Although seeing "The Crown" film Princess Diana's last days, Netflix said in a statement to The Sun that it would not show the exact moment of the crash.

Choosing not to include it was confirmed after a source told Deadline that the series' production was "on edge" if they attempted to recreate the royal's death.

"We've been dreading getting to this point. The countdown is two weeks and while we're calmly carrying on, it's fair to acknowledge that there's a certain anxiety; a palpable sense of being slightly on edge. I mean, there's bombshell sensitivity surrounding this one," a source said.

Instead, it would be a run-up of what happened from the moment Princess Diana left The Ritz up to the aftermath of the accident.

Elizabeth Debicki Says "The Crown" Will Portray Everything Truthfully But With Sensitivity

Before the recent development, Debicki was asked by EW about how "The Crown" would portray Princess Diana's death.

Although she did not have an idea about those issues, she assured everyone that the team worked hard in handling everything with sensitivity. She added that the show would show the scenes in a "deeply caring way."

The late Princess of Wales passed away in the wee hours of Aug. 31, 1997, after a car accident happened in Paris' Alma Tunnel. Dodi Fayed and driver Henri Paul were proclaimed dead on the spot, while Princess Diana was still breathing but eventually succumbed to a Paris hospital, where she died after a few hours.
