The photos depict Diana (Elizabeth Debicki), joined by her sons, as they are vacationing with Harrods and Ritz Paris owner Mohamed Al Fayed (Salim Daw) and his family in the south of France in July 1997. That is where Diana and Dodi (Khalid Abdalla) spend time together before she returns solo for a second Mediterranean vacation with Dodi that leads to their fateful overnight trip to Paris.
Photos (as well as the official Crown Season 6 poster released last week) show Diana and Dodi on the water as well as in a car wearing the outfits the two wore at the time of the crash.
“I think it’s a really unique challenge as an actor, to portray those days,” Debicki said of her work on the series, created by Peter Morgan. “I really just trusted in Peter’s emotional blueprint that he created for us to follow. It’s his interpretation and I think it made emotional sense to me, so I clung to that. Because, obviously, it’s devastating and it’s fraught and we can never know.”
Other Crown Season 6 first-look images include the show recreating the famous photo Prince Charles (Dominic West) posed for with his sons while vacationing in Scotland while Diana and Dodi’s yacht paparazzi photos were flooding the papers, as well as Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II. You can see them below.
The six-episode Part 2 of Season 6 debuts Dec. 14.
