The Crown’s sixth and final season came to a dramatic end this morning when the remaining six episodes landed on Netflix.
The series is known for dramatising the lives of the British Royal family decade by decade, and the final season is no different – spanning from 1997 to 2005.
The first four episodes covered 1997 when the late Princess of Wales began dating Dodi Al-Fayed, which later delved into her tragic death and the public fallout of her passing.
The final six episodes, which were released on December 14th, document the years up to 2005 when Prince Charles married his now-wife Camilla Parker-Bowles.
The last episodes depict Prince William and King Charles’ strained relationship in the wake of Princess Diana’s death.
It also heavily focuses on William’s relationship with Kate Middleton, whom he started dating after meeting at St. Andrews University.
The final instalments delve into Princess Margaret’s tragic final years too, and the inquest into Princess Diana’s death – which investigated Mohamed Al-Fayed’s claims that she was engaged and pregnant when she died.
While the final season of The Crown has received mixed reviews, with many calling out the creators for blurring the lines between fact and fiction, fans have agreed they’re “not ready” to say goodbye to the popular series.
The series first aired in 2016, and has featured a star-studded changing cast – including Claire Foy, Olivia Colman, and Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II.

Overall, the final episodes of #TheCrown are a letdown with too much emphasis on William and Kate over other, far more interesting stories. Saying that, I did love the finale, including that rather bold narrative choice, and I’m still sad to see the shows reign come to an end 👑 pic.twitter.com/M73bGiMuLi
