Netflix has announced a release window for the sixth season of "The Crown", which is focused on the British monarchy. 

The historical drama, considered one of the streamer's most prestigious shows, is slated for a fall 2023 release.

"The Crown" will turn its attention for this sixth installment towards a royal love story with younger participants. 

Ed McVey and Meg Bellamy are set to play Prince William and Kate Middleton respectively, and the pair will depict their real-life characters' first moments meeting at St. Andrew's campus, an ensuing romance that ultimately led to tying the knot in 2011.

This will be the closest the show has come to covering modern events within the monarchy.

The series also covers Princess Diana's death, though the accident in itself will not be depicted on the series. Elizabeth Debicki, will portray the part of Princess Diana after taking over from Emma Corrin, who held the role in Season 4.

 The sixth season concludes with the wedding of King Charles (Dominic West) and Queen Camilla (Olivia Williams), which took place in 2005.

The Royal couple’s ceremony will be filmed this week at York Minster, which is being used instead of St George's Chapel in Windsor where the King and Camilla tied the knot in 2005.

The ceremony will be portrayed in a positive way, with those involved in the series' production, hoping it will “change the perception” of the drama.

This attempt to lighten the mood comes after the outrage the drama faced after Princess Diana's death, at the age of 36, was depicted.

“The Crown” premiered in 2016 and centered around the royal family through several periods, starting in the late 1940s and early 1950s with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s marriage and early careers.
