# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Shortly after midnight on August 31, 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales -affectionately known as "the People's Princess"-dies in a car crash in Paris. She was 36. Her boyfriend, the Egyptian-born socialite Dodi Fayed, and the driver of the car, Henri Paul, died as well.

Princess Diana was one of the most popular public figures in the world. Her death was met with a massive outpouring of grief. Mourners began visiting Kensington Palace immediately, leaving bouquets at the home where the princess, also known as Lady Di, would never return. Piles of flowers reached some 30 feet from the palace's gate.

Diana and Dodi-who had been vacationing in the French Riviera-arrived in Paris earlier the previous day. They left the Ritz Paris just after midnight, intending to go to Dodi's apartment on the Rue Arsène Houssaye. As soon as they departed the hotel, a swarm of paparazzi on motorcycles began aggressively tailing their car. About three minutes later, the driver lost control and crashed into a pillar at the entrance of the Pont de l'Alma tunnel.

Dodi and the driver were pronounced dead at the scene. Diana was taken to the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital and declared dead at 6:00 am. (A fourth passenger, Diana's bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, was seriously injured but survived.) Diana's former husband Prince Charles, as well as her sisters and other members of the Royal Family, arrived in Paris that morning. Diana's body was then taken back to London.

Like much of her life, her death was a full-blown media sensation, and the subject of many conspiracy theories. At first, the paparazzi hounding the car were blamed for the crash, but later it was revealed that the driver was under the influence of alcohol and prescription drugs. A formal investigation concluded the paparazzi did not cause the collision.

Diana's funeral in London, on September 6, was watched by over 2 billion people. She was survived by her two sons, Prince William, who was 15 at the time, and Prince Harry, who was 12.

On 20 November 1992, a fire broke out in Windsor Castle, the largest inhabited castle in the world and one of the official residences of Queen Elizabeth II. The castle suffered extensive damage and was fully repaired within the next few years at a cost of £36.5 million, in a project led by the conservation architects Donald Insall Associates. It led to the Queen paying tax on her income, and to Buckingham Palace, the Queen's other official residence, being opened to the public to help pay for the restoration work.

The first trailer has been released, the cast revealed, a handful of pictures from behind the scenes are making the rounds in the media to tease eager fans and November 15, 2020 has been set as the official date for the start of the fourth season of The Crown, Netflix's popular series about the British Royalty.

The drama "following the political rivalries and romance of Queen Elizabeth II's reign and the events that shaped the second half of the 20th century," as explained by Netflix, will deal, among other events, with the early days of Princess Diana's courtship with Prince Charles, their wedding, her struggles to fit into the royal family and her increasingly difficult relationship with her in-laws.

The trailer "features a glimpse at the couple's wedding day - including Diana's spectacular dress - and heavily emphasizes the paparazzi's intrusive glare," Tatler explains.
Princess Diana Enters the Scene
With most of the cast reprising their roles from season 3 - Olivia Colman as the Queen, Tobias Menzies as Prince Philip, Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret and Josh O'Connor as Prince Charles - the most intriguing new appearance will be that of Princess Diana, interpreted for the season by the young actress Emma Corrin, who will be playing her biggest acting role to date.

It's been confirmed that Australian actress Elizabeth Debicki has been cast to play Diana later in life, for seasons five and six, the final two of the series.
Who Stays, Who Leaves
Such will be the case as well for much of the coming season's cast, which will be changed for the last two seasons of the series.

It will be the last time for Tobias Menzies, who had replaced Matt Smith in the iconic role of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. Game of Thronesstar Jonathan Pryce will take over.

Prince William Will Be There
It's been made clear from the start that the series won't cover the royal story all the way to current days. Nor will it delve into the lives of the younger generation of royals including Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, or Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.

Nevertheless, Prince William will appear as a little boy in several scenes, including Prince Charles's 1987 birthday party at the Royal Opera House, where a young Prince William is being held by his mother, pregnant with Prince Harry, and at a 1984 Easter Egg hunt at Buckingham Palace, with Prince Charles holding an Easter egg basket for the toddler.

Charles and Diana's tour to Australia is also painstakingly recreated in outfits and locations. Filmed in Almeria and Malaga, Spain, it shows the young royal couple's 1983 tour, bringing along their nine-month-old Prince William for the first time.

Along with the tribulations and conflicts of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, during the 1o episodes of the season the intrigue will center around the arrival of the Iron Lady as the head of the government and the changes rocking the country.
