• Netflix’s ‘The Crown’ is currently in production.
• The sixth season will not feature Princess Diana’s fatal car accident.
•  On November 9, the fifth season of the royal show will be available on Netflix.

Season 6 of Netflix’s ‘The Crown’ is currently in production, and the series will not feature Princess Diana’s accident scene.

According to Deadline, the show will not depict Diana’s fatal car accident, which took her life. “The exact moment of the crash impact will not be shown,” Netflix said in a statement to The Sun.

According to an inside source, the decision to skip shooting the accident scene was made because the production was “on edge.”

“We’ve been dreading getting to this point. The countdown is two weeks and while we’re calmly carrying on its fair to acknowledge that there’s a certain anxiety; a palpable sense of being slightly on edge. I mean, there’s bombshell sensitivity surrounding this one.”

According to a production source, the series will focus on the events leading up to and following the collision, but the actual crash will not be filmed.

“It’s the run-up: the car leaving The Ritz after midnight with paparazzi in pursuit and then the aftermath with the British Ambassador to France swinging into action with the Foreign Office and then the subsequent constitutional aftermath.”

To the uninitiated, the Princess of Whales and her boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed died in a car accident while travelling to Paris on August 31, 1997.

When their car slammed into a tunnel and then flipped in front of oncoming traffic, the couple was being followed by paparazzi.

Earlier this month, Netflix released the first look images from season 5 of The Crown, which stars Elizabeth Debicki as Diana and Dominic West as Prince Charles.

On November 9, the fifth season of the royal show will be available on Netflix.
