“Netflix Teases Royal Wedding in ‘The Crown’ Season 6”
Netflix has given fans a sneak peek into what to expect in the highly anticipated sixth and final season of the critically acclaimed series “The Crown.”
Since its debut in 2016, the show has delved into the complexities and challenges faced by the British Royal Family, starting with the passing of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne.
The upcoming season, slated for release later this year, is poised to encompass the tragic loss of Princess Diana. In addition, Netflix has disclosed that it will spotlight another significant event in royal history – the wedding of Prince Charles to Camilla Parker-Bowles in 2005 at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
Queen Elizabeth II initially hesitated about the union due to the scandal surrounding her son’s relationship with Parker-Bowles, which had tarnished the family’s reputation. It’s even said she temporarily left the wedding festivities to watch a horse race in a separate room. This event comes after Diana famously remarked in an interview that there were “three people” in her marriage, alluding to Parker-Bowles, causing a sensation at the time.
Following Diana’s tragic passing in a Paris car crash in 1997, Charles and Parker-Bowles gradually made their relationship more public, even though it led to a decline in Charles’s popularity among the British public. Over time, Parker-Bowles gained acceptance as the future queen consort, and the two ultimately tied the knot in a civil ceremony in 2005.
However, in a surprising revelation from his memoir “Spare,” Prince Harry disclosed earlier this year that he and Prince William had implored their father not to remarry.
“Despite our pleas, Pa was determined,” Harry wrote. “We shook his hand and wished him happiness. No hard feelings. We understood that he would finally be with the woman he loved, the woman he’d always loved.”
Claudia Harrison, known for portraying Princess Anne in Seasons 5 and 6, shared that the wedding scene was the final one filmed. It was captured at York Minster Cathedral in England, with the entire family present, including Imelda Staunton as the Queen, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, Ed McVey as Prince William, and Luther Ford as Prince Harry.
