But filming will not take place on the day of the Queen’s state funeral on September 19. When the cast and crew return they will be covering Princess Diana’s death in 1997, which saw the Queen don mourning clothes and address the nation.
A scene covering Diana’s tragic car crash death in Paris tunnel in August 1997 aged 36 had been set to be filmed on Friday in Barcelona, Spain. Peter Morgan, writer of the drama, was quoted after news of the Queen’s death was confirmed as saying about Her Majesty, “The Crown is a love letter to her and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect. I expect we will stop filming out of respect too.”
