The Crown season 6, part 1 focuses heavily on Princess Diana's story, handling it with sensitivity and showcasing Emma Corrin's exceptional portrayal.
The production value of The Crown remains top-notch, with impressive costumes, sets, and Martin Phipps' score adding to the emotional weight of Diana's arc.
While the first four episodes of season 6 primarily revolve around Diana's death and aftermath, it remains to be seen how the rest of the royal family will come back into focus in the second part.
