Khalid Abdalla has opened up about filming \u201ciconic scenes\u201d in The Crown<\/a> season 6, which further explores Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed\u2019s relationship.<\/p>\n

With four episodes now available to watch on Netflix<\/a>, viewers are able to see the complex relationship between the two and the moments leading to their deaths, which RadioTimes.com has said<\/a> will \u201cemotionally floor you\u201d.<\/p>\n

Following the release of season 6 part 1, Abdalla explained that one of his most memorable scenes was filming on the yacht.<\/p>\n

In season 6 part 1 of The Crown, a lot of the action of the first episode takes place on a yacht in which Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki<\/a>) goes on holiday to the South of France with William and Harry and the Fayed family.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the scene, Khalid Abdalla<\/a> said: \u201cI remember arriving at that yacht and being incredibly intimidated \u2013 not just by the yacht itself, but also by the knowledge that we were about to approach all of these iconic scenes that have been in the public imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the many \u201ciconic scenes\u201d Abdalla is referring to is the recreation of Princess Diana sitting alone on a diving board in a blue swimsuit and Dodi and Diana kissing on the yacht, moments that still remain famous to this day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe time and space they spent on there was obviously incredibly special and full of fun,\u201d Abdalla continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really a space in which me and Elizabeth got to explore and know each other \u2013 and build that deep collaboration. But a scene that I really care about from life was when we left the boat after three weeks of filming there.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, having done it, we could feel, \u2018Wow, we\u2019ve actually honoured that moment in time.\u2019 As we left as cast and crew, I remember there was this moment when the boat blew the horns to say goodbye. That was a precious moment. It was very, very precious.\u201d<\/p>
