Many fans of The Crown are looking to watch one big thing in the new season, which is premiering on Netflix this weekend – the royal wedding!

However, it looks like you won’t get to see the actual wedding.

Stars Emma Corrin and Josh O’Connor, who play Princess Diana and Prince Charles in the series, revealed just why the actual wedding was not filmed and won’t be shown.

“We never re-create things just for the sake of re-creating them,” Emma stated in a new interview with THR. “I think if we do re-create a scene — like the engagement scene, for instance, when they do the announcement — it has to be because it’s linked to something that the characters are going through. It has to be part of the story. It has to further the plot.

Emma added that the real wedding is actually available to watch online anyhow.

“You could be watching it in 10 seconds so I don’t think there’d be any point in us re-creating it.”

Josh adds, “That’s The Crown for you. That’s why The Crown is so good. Peter Morgan isn’t interested in showing you the wedding because, yeah, Emma’s right, you just go on YouTube and you can watch it.”

“I think all the historical events are important for punctuating so that the audience know where we are,” he explained. “He’ll put in Thatcher’s election, and that’s literally just to tell the audience, ‘Right, this is where we are,’ rather than putting up on the screen ’20th of December 1981,’ or whatever. He basically signposts it using historical events. But what’s more interesting, because Charles and Diana have to be a certain way on their wedding day, you don’t see the nuance; whereas when it’s behind closed doors, [like] the rehearsal, we have more license to create and fictionalize.”

The Crown season four premieres on Sunday, November 15.

If you missed it, see what the stars did for their lockdown premiere earlier this week!

With London currently in lockdown, the cast of The Crown missed out on a physical premiere for the new season of the hit Netflix show.

However, lockdown didn’t stop them from celebrating the new season of the show.

Olivia Colman, Helena Bonham Carter, Josh O’Connor, Emerald Fennell, Emma Corrin and Gillian Anderson were all sent a red carpet and The Crown backdrop and snapped their own pics in their kitchens, and living rooms and even included their pets!

Series creator Peter Morgan, executive producer Suzanne Mackie, Tobias Menzies, Erin Doherty, and Marion Bailey also joined in on the panel, where they opened up about the new season, which premieres on Sunday, November 15.

Guests for the “premiere” also got a first look at the first two episodes of season four, before enjoying a Q&A with the cast.

Just recently, Emma opened up about the storyline she made sure was included in the show. See what it was here…

Emma Corrin is opening up about playing Princess Diana in the new season of The Crown.

During a new interview, the 24-year-old actress insisted that the show covered the late princess’ battle with bulimia “in an honest way.”

“We’d been working on her body language, and we put together a document that we sent to the script team and said: ‘Can you include some of this in the writing because we’d love to really flesh out those scenes?’” Emma shared with Radio Times.

“I felt that if we were trying to depict bulimia in an honest way, we had to actually show it – otherwise it’s a disservice to anyone who has been through that,” Emma added. “I don’t think we should shy away from those conversations; Diana was very candid about her experience with bulimia, and I so admire that.”

While preparing for her role as Diana, Emma said she did extensive research on eating disorders.

“You can’t do justice to everything she was experiencing without including that,” Emma told Variety in a different interview. “It was so symptomatic of the emotional turmoil and all the suppressed emotions that she was feeling.”

The new season of The Crown will debut on Netflix on November 15 – watch the trailer here!

The first full length trailer for The Crown season four just debuted, and Netflix also released character posters!

Here’s a synopsis of the new season: As the 1970s are drawing to a close, Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) and her family find themselves preoccupied with safeguarding the line of succession by securing an appropriate bride for Prince Charles (Josh O’Connor), who is still unmarried at 30. While Charles’ romance with a young Lady Diana Spencer (Emma Corrin) provides a much-needed fairytale to unite the British people, as the transformation from teenager to Princess of Wales takes place, it is anything but a fairytale for Diana.

There will be 10 episodes in the season, which ranges from 1979 to 1990. Be on the lookout on Netflix on November 15 for the full debut!

The new season also stars Tobias Menzies as Prince Philip, Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret, and Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher.

Olivia Colman and Helena Bonham Carter will wrap up their roles as Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret after the upcoming fourth season of The Crown on Netflix.

The two stars have some advice for their successors on the program, which will be played by Imelda Staunton and Lesley Manville.

“If she calls me, I’ll be so excited. Then what would you say to Imelda Staunton?” Olivia pondered. “Good luck…the wig’s itchy.”

She added that Imelda, who was most memorable in her role as Dolores Umbridge in the Harry Potter franchise, “already got a much better walk than me.”

Helena, who will be passing on the torch to Lesley as Margaret, shared that she’d love to pass on one particular item to her.

“It’s like handing a baton. It’s like a relay race, but it never comes back,” she shared. “I want to hand her my cigarette holder and say, ‘Good luck with this.’ That would be nice, wouldn’t it?”

“I feel I’ve got to know Diana like you would a friend,” Emma recently told British Vogue about playing the iconic role. “I know that sounds really weird, but I get a great sense of companionship from her.

″I suppose, over time, you kind of start to patch together a sense of empathy and a sense of understanding,” she continued. “I love figuring people out.
