The Crown recreates one of the last ever photos of Princess Diana on Mohamed Al-Fayed’s yacht just a week before her death – while Netflix also shares a glimpse of her romance with Dodi

The sixth and final series of Netflix’s The Crown recreates moving footage of Diana’s final summer holiday aboard Mohamed Al-Fayed’s yacht in southern France, days before her death in 1997.

As the latest series of The Crown tries to avoid sparking more controversy following the backlash against the dramatizations of the more recent series, Netflix bosses have said there will be no intimate scenes between Diana and Dodi in the latest episodes.

However, in a recently released image from the new series, Princess Diana is pictured cozying up to her lover Dodi Fayed as she tenderly holds his face in her hands.

The new trailer, released yesterday, shows Diana in a moment of solace as she sits on the diving board of a luxury motor yacht.

Netflix also released a photo that gives viewers insight into how Diana’s relationship with Dodi will be portrayed.

The pair will have a romantic relationship, but Netflix has claimed that no steamy scenes will be shown in the series.

In the new image, Diana (Debicki) stands away from the camera as she holds Dodi’s (played by Khalid Abdalla) face with her hands.

The funeral, which was not shown in the trailer, was filmed at a disused RAF base five miles outside Bicester, Oxfordshire.

Imelda’s character plays Queen Elizabeth II in the final season, telling Diana’s “ghost” that she has “finally managed to turn this house upside down.”

The trailer opens with Elizabeth Debicki’s Diana playing the piano as she explains in voiceover, “I don’t really understand how I got here.” Running around… and losing track of myself. I think that’s the story of my whole life.’

It also shows Diana struggling to deal with media attention following the end of her marriage to Charles (Dominic West), the then Prince of Wales.

As a royal adviser leafs through the front pages of the newspaper dominated by Diana, he says to the Queen: “I am afraid, Your Majesty, that interest in the Princess’s private life is unlikely to wane any time soon.”

To which Her Majesty responds, “All you want is for that girl to find peace,” as scenes play of the princess singing during a car ride with a young Prince William.

Her eldest son, played by Rufus Kampa during his teenage years, asks, ‘Mommy, are you okay?’. The princess replies, “I’m fine, it’s just… It’s all been a bit crazy lately.”

The final moments of the trailer appear to look at the aftermath of Diana and Dodi’s deaths following a car crash in a Parisian tunnel in August 1997.

In the teaser, Dominic as Prince Charles can be heard saying that the Queen should ‘be the mother of the nation’, amid silence from Buckingham Palace.
