The Crown Season 5 is currently in the process of filming what will likely be the most controversial scene of the series: the death of Princess Diana. TMZ has the video of Netflix’s production of The Crown over in Paris, where they are recreating Diana’s fatal car crash in a Paris tunnel in 1997. Eerily enough, it’s pointed out that The Crown’s production looks to be following the actual route Diana’s car took, leading to the same Pont de l’Alma tunnel where the crash happened, using a similar (if not the same) Mercedes-Benz sedan she was riding in.
Inspired by real events, this fictional dramatization tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II and the political and personal events that shaped her reign.
It’s a new decade, and the royal family are facing what may be their biggest challenge yet: proving their continued relevance in ’90s Britain. As Diana and Charles wage a media war, cracks begin to splinter the royal foundation.
