The Crown Season 6 made its regal bow on Netflix this morning, finally revealing how the long-running, Emmy-winning series would tackle the most dramatic chapter in recent royal history: the death of Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki). The glamorous royal and her lover Dodi Fayed (Khalid Abdalla) tragically perished when their car crashed in Paris while trying to outrun hoards of paparazzi. Their deaths would shake the world, but also cast a shadow on the lives of Diana’s two young sons, Prince William (Rufus Kampa) and Prince Harry (Fflyn Edwards).

The Crown Season 6 Part 1 covers the final weeks of Diana’s life in vivid, bittersweet detail. We watch as she meets Dodi Fayed during a summer holiday in 1997 and how press interest in the whirlwind romance ramped up to a violent fever pitch. We also see how her young sons felt about their mother’s new romance and, more importantly, how they would be used as pawns in their parents’ public split.

However, The Crown Season 6 won’t end with the passing of Diana. Instead, the series still has one more story to tell. The Crown Season 6 Part 2 will delve into how the college-aged Prince William (Ed McVey) would eventually meet future wife Kate Middleton (Meg Bellamy). We will also see how star-crossed lovebirds Prince Charles (Dominic West) and Camilla Parker Bowles (Olivia Williams) eventually were able to marry, making them the now King Charles III and Queen Camilla. And, of course, The Crown will still focus on the public and personal life of Queen Elizabeth II (Imelda Staunton).

So when can you watch the rest of The Crown Season 6? How long do you have to wait for Prince William and Kate Middleton’s love story? Here’s everything you need to know about when new episodes of The Crown Season 6 premiere on Netflix…
