After six seasons, seven years, and three casts, The Crown comes to an end later this year. We’ll be back with more soon, but here’s a hint at what’s to come in our final season…

The Crown Season 6 kindly requests your presence at the nuptials of His Royal Highness, Charles, The Prince of Wales (Dominic West) and Ms. Camilla Parker Bowles (Olivia Williams) in the fall of 2023, only on Netflix.

The wedding is a hard-fought moment for the couple in the series, as Season 5 saw Charles’ very public and painful divorce from Diana, Princess of Wales (Elizabeth Debicki) unleash the world’s acrimony towards Camilla. “[Camilla] was actually left utterly exposed to whatever mud was being slung at her,” Williams told Tudum last year. “That was a challenge for us, to actually keep finding the joy between the two of them and to try and work out what the magical thing is between them that clearly makes them such a happy and successful and supportive and humorous couple now, in this very successful marriage.” 

While the world certainly wasn’t on their side in Season 5, Charles and Camilla’s enduring love is what made the actors who play them want to root for them all along. “There was a certain sort of bonding in being the less popular couple, and feeling slightly righteous about it, that they’ve been unjustly served,” West told Tudum. Williams agreed that “we want to vindicate them.”

With their wedding in the series, that vindication is at last coming to pass, as the final season of The Crown ushers in a new era for the monarchy. Along with Charles and Camilla’s union, viewers will witness a first taste of romance for Charles and Diana’s son, Prince William (Ed McVey) and Kate Middleton (Meg Bellamy) when they meet at university in St. Andrews, Scotland in the early 2000s. “In Season 6, the arrival of William and Kate and Harry just blows the doors off,” creator Peter Morgan told The Crown: The Official Podcast in November 2022. “You want to see them. It happened in the read through. You could just see everyone was looking up and looking at each other across the room. And every time William spoke, it was like, ‘Oh my God, this is just riveting.’ ”

Rufus Kampa and Fflyn Edwards will play Princes William and Harry in earlier episodes of Season 6, with Luther Ford portraying Harry later on in the season. Returning cast for Season 6 include Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II, Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret, Claudia Harrison as Princess Anne, Jonathan Pryce as Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Bertie Carvel as Tony Blair, Salim Daw as Mohamed al Fayed, and Khalid Abdalla as Dodi Fayed.
