Netflix\u2019s The Crown<\/em> has taken the world by storm with its heavily dramatised retelling of the British royal family, beginning in 1947 with the wedding of the future Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.<\/p>\n

The sixth and final season of the show \u2013 arriving in two parts, with the first four episodes streaming from 16 November and the remainder from 14 December \u2013 will take us deep into living memory.<\/p>\n

This season will cover 1997 until 2005, with part one expected to focus on the paparazzi interest in Diana \u2013 particularly in the summer months of 1997, before her death, aged 36, in a car crash in Paris<\/a>.<\/p>\n
