West \u2013 who took over the role from Josh O\u2019Connor in season 5 of the royal drama \u2013 explained to Tudum<\/a> that Charles will have both a \u201creal sadness\u201d and a \u201creal compassion\u201d to him throughout the run, which takes place after his divorce from Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki).<\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s great about The Crown is that you see these public figures in private,\u201d he said. \u201cI suspect in private he\u2019s quite emotional, well that\u2019s the way I played him anyway\u2026 I think, hopefully, what comes out is compassionate but relatively well-balanced.\u201d<\/p>\n He added that he spoke to a huge number of people who had met Charles while he was preparing to play him, in order to get a better understanding of the future King.<\/p> \u201c[Charles] met probably more [people] than anyone except the Queen and Prince Philip (Jonathan Pryce),\u201d he said, adding: \u201cAlmost everyone has extremely warm, kind things to say about him.\u201d<\/p>\n New first-look images<\/a> of the final season were released by Netflix yesterday (Monday 16th October) including stills showing West as Charles alongside Princes William and Harry, played by newcomers Fflyn Edwards and Rufus Kampa.<\/p>\n Debicki also features in some of the new images \u2013 including one with William and Harry and another showing her looking outwards from a yacht \u2013 and has said that the upcoming season is \u201ca really unique challenge as an actor\u201d.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n She added: \u201cI really just trusted in Peter\u2019s emotional blueprint that he created for us to follow. It\u2019s his interpretation and I think it made emotional sense to me, so I clung to that. Because, obviously, it\u2019s devastating and it\u2019s fraught and we can never know.\u201d<\/p>\n Last week, Netflix announced that the final season is being split into two parts<\/a>, with part 1 launching on 16th November<\/strong>\u00a0and part 2 on\u00a014th December<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Season 6 is set to cover events from 1997 through to 2005, broadly spanning the period of time when Tony Blair (Bertie Carvel) was Prime Minister.<\/p>\n The Crown season 6 parts 1 and 2 will stream on\u00a0Netflix<\/a>\u00a0on 16th November and 14th December respectively.
