Netflix’s The Crown continues to film the tragic death of Princess Diana in a fatal car accident in Paris, for the sixth and final season of the show.

Despite criticism and backlash declaring that the show has gone too far to depict the traumatizing events in the life of the late Princess of Wales, the makers of the royal drama have continued to film the fatal car crash.
